As the winter is closing in on organic landscapes across America, the folks from Kingdom Aquaponics LLC (KA) are busy preparing for the spring growing season. The fall and winter months become an oasis for quality organic compost and organic vermicompost (worm casting) production. “Now is the critical time to jump-start compost production so that we are more than ready for the spring market,” says Richard Mitchell, K.A.’s Ingredient Production Manager. “Biological, sustainable and chemical-free soil management starts with producing the highest quality organic compost that will be used in manufacturing our living organics products.”
Mitchell continues, “I believe we are transforming the organic landscape, turf, golf course and tree care industries with our biological and ecological approach to soil management. I make sure that all of our products start with the absolute highest quality ingredients.”
Kingdom Aquaponics LLC is in the business of repairing damaged soil ecosystems such as turf fields, landscapes, golf courses, vineyards, and brown-fields. They make sustainable, organic, and ecologically balanced products derived from high quality organic ingredients such as compost, worm compost, and fish byproducts. Over the next six months K.A.will be working around the clock producing organic compost and organic worm castings that are teeming with life and beneficial soil biology.
K.A .starts by growing and harvesting the microorganisms that are naturally found in healthy soils. This is done by producing what they call artisan compost and worm compost that is compost which contains extraordinarily high numbers of beneficial biology in the correct ratios. These organisms build and repair damaged soils.
Producing many different types of compost such as worm compost and thermal compost allows KA to provide a plethora of soil food web organisms suitable for a wide variety of environments and conditions. The beneficial microorganisms can be concentrated and then applied to job sites where the microbes work together to bring soils back to life, and help plants reach their true potential!
“We literally grow an entire soil food web ecosystem in our compost,” says Mitchell, “these are the organisms that break down organic matter, unlock plant nutrients, suppress disease, build soil structure, and help with water balance. The first step is to make exceptionally high quality compost which contains these beneficial organisms. We then conduct vigorous testing (in-house and independent) to ensure that the beneficial organisms are present in high numbers in the compost and in the final products. Through cutting edge processes, we harvest beneficial soil biology and produce products that can be applied easily and hassle free to golf courses, sports fields, lawns, vineyards, and just about every landscape environment imaginable.”
“ We produce an organic alternative that has the benefits of biological extracts and compost teas but avoids the mess, time constraints, and margin of error associated with many living biological inoculums and compost-derived products. In reality, it is a technique developed by Mother Nature herself. Our products provide soils with the beneficial organisms that are naturally found in the healthiest environments on the planet. By reintroducing the organisms that create healthy soil, we can transform damaged environments into self-sustaining, chemical-free, and highly productive organic environments.”
“I’m excited to be working on such a great product line with such a well-rounded group of team members. The talent of KA’s production team is outstanding. We are constantly striving forward in an innovative and creative, yet practical manner that yields real results. I can only imagine what the future holds!,” Mitchell exclaims.
Kingdom Aquaponics LLC’s products allow sports field managers, grounds keepers, golf course managers, and architects alike to simply and easily restore the natural balance of life in their soils. This spring, KA’s products will be playing an integral part in sustainable watershed management, sustainable turf and golf course management, biological landscape management, viticulture and many other jobs requiring a reduction in chemical inputs or an altogether chemical free environment.
