Debunking the Myth that Living Soil Cannot Be 100% Clean

Before bio365 invented its biologically active growing media, it was true that there was no 100% clean living soil on the market. But that’s not true today. With the introduction of bio365’s engineered growing media, everything changed. There is now a 100% clean, biologically active growing media available that can safely be used in controlled environment agriculture (CEA).

All bio365 growing media products are designed from the ground up to be used in controlled environment agriculture. Using patented and proprietary processes, we invented a new category of growing media that allows plants to benefit from the biology they want and need from nature in CEA applications.

bio365 Cultures Our Own Biology

We culture our biology like food makers make yogurt or sourdough. We don’t use compost or worm castings, which could result in negative or pathogenic biology.

Using our patented culturing process, we make our own wide spectrum biology that is 100% consistent from batch to batch and bag to bag. Since we culture our own beneficial fungi and bacteria, all batches have the same diverse microbial biomass that mimics nature.

No other growing media company does this. In fact, they can’t do it. Instead, they either use compost or they buy isolated microbes from a lab and add the lab-bought individual microbes to their batches. They have to buy new microbes from their lab suppliers all the time.

At bio365, we culture from the same mother batch generation after generation and test it every time. Our cultured biology is stable and has been proven for thousands of batches to be pest and pathogen free.

Ours is a patented and 100% proprietary process that guarantees consistency. No other brand can match it or do it.

bio365 Manufactures Products IN and FOR Controlled Environment Agriculture Conditions

We manufacture our products 100% indoors in controlled conditions to ensure it is 100% clean and consistent for controlled environment agriculture use. Starting with our culturing process - we use an indoor, clean culture process with no compost. We culture our biology in a positive air-pressured, HEPA-filtered, controlled, and sealed environment within our factory.

Every bio365 product is made on computer-controlled mix lines to standardized recipes then packaged on carefully calibrated equipment before being palletized by a robot. Inputs are never stored outside. You'll never see compost piles or front-loaders mixing inputs at our facilities.

Humans never directly touch our inputs and media during engineering and manufacturing. In fact, all team members and visitors must decontaminate and change into protective clothing before entering our production areas and follow rigid hygiene protocols.

All bio365 growing media is engineered, manufactured, and stored in controlled access, indoor facilities, here in the USA using a quality and cleanliness process that is unmatched. For example, our facilities use HEPA-filtered, positive air-pressure environments designed to keep pests and pathogens out, and we carefully control access to our facilities, use sally ports to control exposure to the outside environment, and tightly control movements inside.

Throughout all processes, we follow a rigorous 41-step quality control protocol that ensures every batch is consistently the same, batch after batch.

Only bio365 Debunks the Myth that Living Soil Cannot Be 100% Clean

There is no growing media other than bio365 that is biologically active and 100% clean.

With bio365, growers get the best of both worlds – all bio365 growing media products are free of pests, pathogens, and contaminants, but they also include wide spectrum beneficial biology that we culture ourselves. This biology enables vital plant signaling and biomimicry, and it makes plants healthier and more resilient. As a result, they’re better able to fight off or thrive in a disease pressured environment, such as a grower’s facility where pests have been introduced through other sources.

So, there you have it – bio365 (and only bio365) debunks the myth that living soil cannot be 100% clean.
