Thank you for taking the time to learn more about Rhizofuel™. We are passionate about the products we offer through Rootgrow™, but, more than this, we are dedicated to leveraging more than three decades of experience to grow, healthy soils for our clients and customers. We do this by encouraging the soil's natural fungi and bacteria that are crucial to healthy plant development. From the urban backyard garden to expensive landscaping projects, we continue to innovate in the treatment methods to offer a viable alternative to chemical interventions.
Our scientists and sales team have been instrumental in the introduction of mycorrhizal fungi products now sold throughout the US and Europe. The company continues to develop its brand in the Rootgrow™ family, stimulating and encouraging both the treated plants and the native soil microbes and bacteria.
Our mission remains to offer the market a sustainable alternative to chemically derived planting treatments for those gardeners, landscapers, and growers that desire to create a rich biologically active environment that will support plants for their entire lifetime. Our partner company, Rootgrow™, is a producer of mycorrhizal fungi and is committed to developing these, and other biological products, to the highest standards to support US gardening, horticulture, and agriculture.
Compost Tea
The Garden Pro himself, Peter Felix, recommends Rhizofuel™. He's also a big fan of compost tea. Compost tea is used for two reasons: to inoculate microbial life into the soil or onto the foliage of plants, and to add soluble nutrients to the foliage or to the soil to feed the organisms and the plants present. The use of compost tea is suggested any time the organisms in the soil or on the plants are not at optimum levels.
Chemical-based pesticides, fumigants, herbicides, and some synthetic fertilizers kill a range of the beneficial microorganisms that encourage plant growth, while compost teas improve the life in the soil and on plant surfaces. High-quality compost tea will inoculate the leaf surface and soil with beneficial microorganisms, instead of destroying them.

Dr. Elaine Ingham, of The Rodale Institute, also supports compost tea. She is an energetic, easy-to-understand speaker who explains what life in the soil is all about. Behind this user-friendly approach lies a wealth of knowledge gained from years of intensive research into the organisms that make up the soil food web. Elaine not only understands the soil food web, she knows how to ensure a healthy food web to promote plant growth and reduce reliance on inorganic chemicals.
