  • We are applying Holganix at a half gallon an acre across everything, broadcasting it. It’s really simple to work with. Putting it into the sprayer we just pump it into one of the inductors on the tender trailer and pump it right on.”

“We needed the fungi component so we started with Holganix five years ago. We’ve been really happy. We’ve seen a lot less need for synthetics since we started down that path. We’ve been trying to get back to nature, where nature provides what we need.” play videox ribbon
