Native Microbes

What are they?

The objective of this practice is to reproduce the local microbiology, as bacteria, actinomycetes, fungi, algae and protozoa working in a complete harmony in a healthy environmental system (forest, farm or even animal and human system).

At the end the product will be a solid mixture which is ready to use on its own or using it by adding into a different regenerative and healthy practice.

What are Native Microorganisms for?

To replicate, reproduce, enrich, activate and recover in a biological way your land, animal or human system.

This method can be used and activated with different solid and liquid recipes as Bocashi, fermented brews and others. Another issue doing this microbe reproduction is for use in human and animal health system with same results (encourage balanced life).

How they work?

First at all we have to understand that a healthy local forest keeps the geo-biological memory of a specific area, ie plants, system and microbes working in an endosymbiosis in that area with local issues, such as climate or ecological factors.  We can try to understand it and make use of this natural process.

Therefore reproducing Natives Microorganisms encourages a biological balance, breaking down Organic Matter and strengthening plant, animals and human health system.
