Microbiome Live
Active live cultures harvested directly from our anaerobic digester systems. Unlike Boost (our catalyst), Microbiome Live introduces beneficial living microorganisms into your soil for immediate inoculation. Made to order to ensure maximum microbial viability at the time of application.
Each batch is pulled from our digesters at the time of your order to ensure live cultures are at peak viability. Use within 4 months of manufacture for best results.

How It Works
Microbiome Live contains active, living colonies of beneficial soil microorganisms. These organisms begin working immediately upon application, establishing themselves in the soil ecosystem and driving nutrient cycling from day one.
- Introduces live beneficial microbes for immediate soil inoculation
- Active cultures begin nutrient cycling upon application
- Ideal for severely depleted soils where native biology needs rebuilding
- Higher CFU counts than Boost (~10x) due to active living colonies
- Contains additional native digester microbiota for ecosystem diversity
Applications
Severe Soil Restoration
When native soil biology has been destroyed by contamination, chemical overuse, or physical disturbance, Live provides the organisms needed to rebuild from the ground up.
Agriculture
Direct microbial inoculation for fields transitioning to biological programs. Especially effective in degraded soils where catalyst alone may not have enough native biology to stimulate.
Remediation
Bioaugmentation for contaminated sites. Introduces specific microbial communities capable of degrading hydrocarbons, heavy metals, and agricultural chemicals in-situ.
Combined with Boost
For maximum results, pair Live (to establish microbial populations) with Boost (to sustain and fuel them). This dual approach is especially effective in remediation projects.
