How our solutions drive value for your operation
Real Operational Benefits
Reduced Input Costs Over Time
Healthy soil systems require fewer external inputs (fertilizers, amendments, water).
Improved Crop Performance
Better structure + biology = stronger plants, better yields, improved consistency.
Water Retention & Drought Resilience
Biochar + living soil reduces irrigation needs and buffers against stress.
Labor Efficiency
Pre-built living soil mixes reduce the need for on-site blending and guesswork.
Customer Satisfaction (for landscapers & garden centers)
Healthier plants → better outcomes → fewer callbacks and stronger reputation.

Products built for performance at scale
Fungal-Dominant Biology for Soil Health & Regenerative Growing
Our Fungal Compost Teas & Extracts are living microbial solutions made from mature Johnson-Su compost and designed to help restore soil biology naturally. Rich in fungal and microbial life, these extracts help support nutrient cycling, soil structure, water retention, and long-term ecosystem resilience.
Unlike conventional fertilizers that focus primarily on feeding plants, fungal extracts and teas work by inoculating the soil food web — helping bring depleted soils back to life through biology.
Perfect for:
Living soil systems
Raised beds & vegetable gardens
Orchards & perennial crops
Trees & landscapes
Regenerative farms
Compost inoculation & biochar charging
Benefits
Introduces beneficial fungal biology
Helps improve soil aggregation & structure
Supports nutrient cycling naturally
Encourages water retention & infiltration
Supports resilient root-zone ecosystems
Helps build long-term soil health
Built for Northern Colorado Soils
Northern Colorado soils are often low in organic matter, compacted, alkaline, and biologically depleted. Our fungal teas and extracts are designed to help restore microbial diversity and improve soil function in challenging Front Range conditions.
We work with gardeners, landscapers, market growers, regenerative farms, and living soil cultivators across Fort Collins, Loveland, Greeley, Longmont, Boulder, Denver, and the greater Front Range looking to rebuild soil biology naturally.
What’s the Difference Between a Tea & an Extract?
While both products help deliver beneficial biology, teas and extracts are produced differently and can serve different goals depending on the application.
Fungal Extracts
We take our mature Johnson-Su compost and dilute it in water to create a microbially rich extract designed to inoculate soil with beneficial biology.
This extract can be:
Applied directly in the soil trench during seeding or planting
Applied through irrigation systems
Used as a soil drench
Applied as a foliar amendment to help support plant health
A single application helps introduce beneficial microbial life into the soil and, in the presence of living roots, can help bring depleted soil ecosystems back to life over time.
Our standard field application rate:
2 pounds of Johnson-Su compost per acre
Diluted into approximately 20 gallons of water
A 275-gallon IBC tote can treat up to approximately 14 acres.
We harvest and produce extract as needed so customers receive the freshest and most biologically active inoculant possible.
Fungal Compost Teas
Teas are actively brewed using oxygen, fungal compost, and carefully selected biological foods designed to encourage microbial growth during the brewing process.
Fungal teas:
Are brewed aerobically over time
Aim to multiply fungal and microbial populations
Often include fungal food sources like humic substances, kelp, oats, or other biological inputs
Can be tailored toward fungal-dominant biology
Are best used fresh after brewing
We can produce fungal teas upon request depending on the application and biological goals of the project.
How to Use
Apply as:
Soil drenches
Irrigation injections
In-furrow planting applications
Compost inoculants
Biochar charging solutions
Foliar amendments
Healthy soil starts with living biology — and fungi are a critical part of the ecosystem underground.
Microbial inoculant for soil regeneration
What is Biochar?
Biochar is a stable, carbon-rich material created by heating organic matter (like wood) in a low-oxygen environment—a process called pyrolysis.
But what makes biochar special isn’t just what it is—it’s how it behaves in soil.
What Biochar Does:
Acts like a microscopic sponge, holding water and nutrients
Provides long-term habitat for beneficial microbes
Improves soil structure, aeration, and drainage
Helps retain nutrients that would otherwise leach away
Unlike compost, which breaks down over time, biochar is incredibly stable—lasting decades (or longer) in your soil.
Why We Use Inoculated Biochar
Raw biochar on its own is like an empty house—it has incredible potential, but nothing living inside it.
If applied uncharged, it can actually pull nutrients from your soil temporarily as it fills up.
That’s why we only sell inoculated (charged) biochar.
And we’ve crafted our own— inoculated with our premium Johnson-Su compost! We then add fungal foods to bloom the microbes, drench it with our fungal extract, and age it for 4 weeks as the microbes populate their new habitat. So when it comes to you, it is CHARGED and READY to use for raised beds, gardens, hobby farms, potting, and so much more. Our inoculated biochar includes the following:
Alpine Roots House-Made Biochar, sifted to 1/4”
Alpine Roots Compost
Alpine Roots Fungal Compost Extract
Locally Sourced Mushroom Blocks
Locally Sourced Lathe Shavings
Rice and Oats for fungal food
Humic Acid for boosting microbial activity
We have 1 gallon increments readily available for sale, but for bulk and other quantities please contact us!
Why Biochar Works So Well in Northern Colorado Soils
If you’ve gardened in Fort Collins, Greeley, Loveland, Longmont, Boulder, or Denver, you’ve likely run into the same challenge:
Heavy clay soils.
These soils tend to:
Hold water too tightly (poor drainage)
Dry out and crack in summer
Become compacted and difficult for roots to penetrate
Lack the biological life needed for long-term fertility
How Biochar Helps:
Improves Structure
Biochar creates pore space in dense clay soils, helping loosen compaction and improve root access.
Balances Water
It helps clay soils drain better while also holding onto moisture during dry periods.
Supports Microbial Life
Clay soils often lack oxygen—biochar introduces habitat that supports beneficial microbes.
Builds Long-Term Soil Health
Unlike quick fixes, biochar continues improving soil year after year.
In Northern Colorado, this means:
Less water stress during hot, dry summers
Better root development in compacted soils
More resilient, biologically active garden beds
A soil system that improves over time—not degrades
Start Building Better Soil
Whether you’re upgrading a raised bed, improving clay soil, or building a living soil system from scratch—this is one of the highest-leverage inputs you can add.
Long-term soil structure, water retention, and microbial habitat
