Organic Certification Terms

What are the different organic terms and certifications?

• Organic Soil Amendment: a product used to amend soil (not a fertilizer) so there are no label claims on Nitrogen or ingredient percentages.

  • Fertilizers list NPK (Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium) and may be harsh on plants with over-use.

• Organic Registration: a strict National Organic Standard that all states with an organic program, including OMRI (Organic Materials Review Institute), must adhere to in order to register a product to be used for Organic Farming production.

• Organic Certifiers: independent agencies assigned to organic farm growers to maintain the standard placed upon the growers.

How does this apply to Soil Restoration?

Soil Restoration has formulated several products and maintains Organic Registrations in different states. We also have Non-Organic Registrations throughout the USA and Internationally.

Which product should I use?

For crops and orchards:

• Organic DIGESTER-PLUS requires documentation of deficiency in Colbalt, Manganese, Molybdenum and Boron.

• Organic DIGESTER-BOOST does NOT have the documentation requirements.

Note: Both products are complete and have the components to revitalize and make your soil restored.

For alternative use:

• Porcine Organic Digester is utilized on hog pits by porcine farmers and does NOT have any documentation requirements.

• Mama J’s Growth Spurt is utilized on indoor plants and home gardens and does NOT have any documentation requirements.
