Before & After

Lawn Care

Improved Soil Health:

  • TCM enhances soil structure, aeration, and water retention.  
  • It increases the breakdown of organic matter, releasing nutrients for grass growth.  
  • It fosters a diverse and thriving soil microbiome, which is essential for healthy turf.

Enhanced Nutrient Availability:

  • The microbes in TCM help make nutrients more accessible to grass roots.  
  • This can reduce the need for synthetic fertilizers.

Reduced Thatch:

  • TCM can accelerate the decomposition of thatch, the layer of dead grass and organic matter that can build up on the lawn surface.

Application Method:

  • Use a sprayer to apply the diluted TCM evenly across the lawn.
  • A typical dilution rate is 1:100, for example, you could mix 1-2 ounces of TCM with 1-2 gallons of water.
  • Apply in the early morning or late evening to minimize evaporation.
  • Water the lawn lightly after application to help the TCM penetrate the soil.

Plant Growth

Improved Nutrient Uptake:

  • TCM enhances the availability of essential nutrients in the soil, making them more accessible to plant roots.  
  • Microbes in TCM help break down organic matter and release nutrients in plant-available forms.

Enhanced Root Development:

  • TCM promotes robust root growth, leading to stronger, more resilient plants.  
  • A healthy root system allows plants to absorb more water and nutrients.

Recommended Application:

  • For soil drenching a heavier dilution (1:500) can be used. Pour or spray diluted TCM onto the soil around the base of plants.
  • For foliar applications, a lighter dilution (1:1000) is often preferred. Apply diluted TCM directly to plant leaves using a sprayer.

Soil Health

Improved Soil Structure:

  • TCM promotes the formation of soil aggregates, which improve aeration and water infiltration.
  • This leads to better drainage and reduced soil compaction.

Enhanced Nutrient Cycling:

  • Microbes in TCM break down organic matter, releasing essential nutrients in plant-available forms.  
  • They also help fix nitrogen and solubilize phosphorus, making these vital nutrients more accessible to plants.

Increased Microbial Diversity:

  • TCM introduces a wide range of beneficial microorganisms, creating a balanced and thriving soil ecosystem.  
  • This diversity enhances soil resilience and disease suppression.
  • A healthy soil microbiome can suppress harmful pathogens, reducing the risk of soil-borne diseases.

Recommended Application:

  • A general dilution range is 1:100 to 1:500 (1 part TCM to 100-500 parts water) for soil applications.
  • Apply diluted TCM directly to the soil surface using a watering can or sprayer.
  • Mix diluted TCM into the soil during tilling or planting.
  • Spray diluted TCM onto compost piles to accelerate decomposition and enhance nutrient content.

Water Treatment

Benefits for Water Treatment:

  • TCM helps balance the nutrient levels in water, limiting the food sources that algae thrive on.
  • TCM aids in the breakdown of organic matter and suspended solids, leading to clearer water.
  • By promoting aerobic decomposition, TCM reduces the production of foul-smelling gases like hydrogen sulfide.
  • TCM accelerates the breakdown of organic sludge and sediment at the bottom of water bodies.

Recommended Application:

  • Dilution rates can vary depending on the size and condition of the water body.
    A general guideline is to dilute TCM at a rate of 1:1000 to 1:10,000
  • Pour or spray diluted TCM directly onto the water surface.

Activating TCM Consortium Microbes

All instructions, directions and recommendations of TCM Consortium Microbes are standardized on the process and ratios of:

Activated solution® is ready to use from the 7th day, when the pH of the solution is between 3.2-3.8, or when it has a pleasant bittersweet smell and the color changes from dark brown to orange-brown.

To use, dilute at the rate of 1:100 or 1 oz per 1 gallon of water. Do not apply activated solution undiluted.
