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.
TCM Consortium Microbes are the perfect product to create a vibrant and diverse garden environment. With a huge array of applications, TCM can help solve many problems in the garden, including pest and disease control and also improve soil fertility and plant health.
Healthy soils require diverse microbial activity to break down organic matter and fertilizer inputs to promote a healthy environment for plants. TCM is a microbial inoculant that provides a broad spectrum of microorganisms, enzymes, vitamins, and various organic acids which are all essential components for healthy soils and plants. They will support the growth of other important components including mycchorrizae, earth worms, and insects already in your soil.

This product is amazing! I also use it in my laundry to eliminate all harmful stuff in the machines from other tenants in the apartment building using the same shared laundry room. Thus, the laundry machines are clean and safe from all harmful stuff for me to use! I Love this product! Thank you, Teraganix!
Martha B.5/5Verified
I use this wonderful product in my laundry! I live in an apartment building and use a shared laundry room. Other tenants use harmful laundry products and when I use this product from Teraganix, it, along with additional products I use to eliminate the other tenants’ harmful laundry products in the machines and the residue from all of them, all the bad stuff is eliminated thus making the laundry machines clean and safe for me! Thank you Teraganix! I Love this product!
Martha B.5/5Verified
Love trying em products as em works great for tomatoes and these ones are volunteers in compost bin. So I use composting em product, and em original.

I have been using EM1 with much success for 13 years now. Incredible stuff!!
David D.5/5Verified
Great product, easy to mix and activate. I am waiting to apply it next week.
Christopher D.5/5Verified
A bit confused.... product has changed and is a different formulation. I didn't see anything regarding the move away from the original microbial product. Why the change?
Jeffrey S.3/5Verified
Good for soil and sewer pipe
Mieko M.5/5Verified
Excellent customer service and product is working perfectly

The first time to use and the results are good.
Thanks
Alendra L.5/5Verified
Using TCM, as an organic gardener, has changed the game tremendously! Seeing great results in plant growth, vigor, and overall health. It seems to reduce pest pressure on the plants as well!
Sean S.5/5Verified
I’m excited to put it on my milo to see how it does. I have a 30 acre milo field I split in two. Half of the field I Y dropped 32% and sulfur the other half I used the tcm and urea.
Joseph K.4/5Verified
I use this product in all aspects of my daily life. It is an excellent product.
Austin P.5/5Verified
First, I am so impressed with the customer service. I had a problem of gummosis on one of my Apricot trees and the team advised me on the dose and frequency to use. The gummosis disappeared in a few days and I haven't seen it since. I've used the product on my garden and small orchard for the past 2 years and so far so good!
James H.5/5Verified
I bought the kit a few years ago, that black strap molasses lasts forever. I just bought this to use in my garden this year. I don’t need the whole gallon jug.
Paul B.5/5Verified
Too early to tell, but activation was easy.

Terraganix in action everytime after a rain.
Braxron B.4/5Verified
I love the idea of helping my grapevines and my fruit trees be at their healthiest point, and therefore be able to fight off diseases and produce maximal fruit. I have great hopes that the fruit will be the best possible. Thank you.
Timothy K.5/5Verified
Works great, highly recommended.
Justin H.5/5Verified
I have used EM 1 to help me raise day old chicks. The idea is to add effective microorganisms to their guts while they still live in the brooder. Adding some bokashi to the litter and some EM1 directly to the water are the ways I have used it to promote gut health.
Julia F.4/5Verified
The best soil, foliar spray amendment.
Also, useful in numerous other applications.

Way better than Hydrogen peroxide, filing, or etching seeds!
Two days after soaking for 24 hours in 1/100 ratio mixture of non-chlorinated water = 2"-3" roots via paper towel in a sealed container kept between 60-70°F.
Jeremy R.5/5Verified
Organic soybeans 2025 put 3 gallons activated EM-1 in furrow at planting, and 3 gallons on at pollination with the irrigation. Only other nutrients applied were 2 tons hi-calcium lime and plowed down a healthy cover crop blend.
The organic beans averaged 56 bushels to the acre, 30 inch rows.
Ben D.4/5Verified

Perfect for getting odors out of laundry! Minus one star for price.
Kristina M.4/5Verified
I just wish instructions were on the bottle, rather then go to the internet to see what water/em ratios are.
Cathleen B.4/5Verified
im scared to promote it cause farmers will bypass me n make it themselves
then i worked for free
farmers n my area need nitro boost on there wheat
Elston D.5/5Verified
On the plants, I can't truly say I can see a difference. But in the chicken coop, my nose knows a difference.

Works great
Olajumoke A.5/5Verified
The product i purchased the, Micronutrient concentrate, is AWESOME AND THE BEST PRODUCT for Ive ever used!
Tami W.5/5Verified
My first year at our community garden we inoculated the beds each season we turned over crops and amended soil. What a great growing year - no disease, strong plants and high yield.
The next two years I got busy and just forgot - results have been pretty dismal. Community gardens tend to be germy if left to fight for themselves as gardeners can be hit-and-miss with maintenance. This weekend we will inoculate before planting for fall/winter.
Carolyn T.5/5Verified
Foliar applied it with fish hydrolysate and molasses. Seems to have stopped white mold from spreading in my beans!
Rye C.5/5Verified
I gave the 4 star because the instructions are terrible! I have a 25x25 vegetable garden and I do not understand how to apply it. Please let me know, that would help a lot!
Thanks
Cathleen B.4/5Verified
This product has become an essential additive to our drinking water as it will clear most chemicals that are commonly found in tap water.
Stephanie C.5/5Verified
The product is effective. Just wish it came in a bigger bottle.
Trever K.4/5Verified
Something didn’t work when I tried to make a bokashi mix. Didn’t ferment, but I shall try again soon. Looking forward to it working.
TCM is classified as a biofertilizer. Biofertilizers are natural fertilizers that consist of living microorganisms, such as bacteria, fungi, and algae. These microorganisms enhance nutrient availability and promote plant growth by establishing a symbiotic relationship with plants.
Biofertilizers also help improve soil fertility and structure over time. They promote the growth of beneficial soil microorganisms, enhance nutrient uptake by plants, and stimulate root development. This results in healthier plants with improved resistance to pests and diseases
DO I NEED TO ACTIVATE TCM BEFORE I CAN USE IT?
No you do not need to activate TCM to use it.
TCM is a concentrate that is ready to use straight from the bottle. See dilution rate card for instructions.
Activated solution provides an even more economical way to use TCM. Activation takes 7 days and additional materials are required. Click here for instructions on how to activate the microbes.
When using Activated TCM, follow the same dilution rates as TCM
WHAT IS THE SHELF LIFE OF TCM
TCM has a shelf life of 12 months from date of manufacture. Often times it's good and viable past that date. The best way to tell is to test the pH. If the pH is under 4.0 then it's still good.
IS TCM SAFE TO USE AROUND LIVESTOCK AND PETS?
Yes. TCM is an all natural probiotic that is safe to use around all kinds of animals, birds, bees etc
