FAQ about MBST - Lakeshore Microboost, Inc

What is MICROBOOST®? ('MBST')
MICROBOOST® is the registered trademark for a line of chemical free, organic products, organic waste management programs, and planning services designed for agriculture, aquiculture, bioremediation, horticulture, hydroponics and the other green industries.

What is good compost?
Good compost is made using clean organic feedstocks, no glass, metal or plastic. These feedstocks are mixed according to a formula, placed in large piles called windrows and managed until they become compost. Temperatures reached during the composting process destroy disease causing pathogens, weed seeds and vector larva. Cured compost will no longer heat up, even when wet and piled up.

What is a biostimulant?
Biostimulants are liquids that contain high concentrations of beneficial microorganisms. These microorganisms actively perform soil restoration. MBST BIOSTIMULANTS are cultivated to increase the microbial population in the growth media improving disease resistance and nutrient uptake while increasing water retention.

What is MBST Extract?
Microboost Extract is a general purpose biostimulant that contains a concentration of beneficial typical soil occupying microorganisms. This active biostimulant is cultivated from pasteurized compost and incubated to increase and target a broad microbial population. MBST Extract contains high numbers of mycorrhizal fungi and beneficial bacteria, along with numerous microbes that fix nitrogen, fight disease and increase water holding capacity in the growth media.

What is MBST Biological Larvicide
MBST Biological Larvicide is a biostimulant that is target specific against mosquito, black fly, fungal gnat larvae and Japanese beetle grubs. This product is entirely safe for humans, pets, fish and wildlife. Once ingested MBST Biological Larvicide kills 95-100% of mosquito larvae within 24 hours and kills continually for 30 days. Japanese beetle grub are controlled in one season.

What is biochar?
Biochar is charcoal produced through a process called pyrolysis. Pyrolysis converts biomass into biochar which has 2-4 times the carbon content of raw biomass and will sequester carbon dioxide for thousands of years. The physical characteristics of biochar add significant surface areas for microbial colonization and water retention.

Will Microboost Biostimulants Work Without Fertilizer?
When applied as part of a completely chemical free soil restoration or maintenance program MICROBOOST ® biostimulants will colonize the soil with numerous nutrient fixing microbes capable of fixing atmospheric nitrogen which makes up 80% of our atmosphere.
These microbes can fix up to 60% of the atmospheric Nitrogen into the root mass or root nodes.

 

 

What customers say about Microboost® Extract
I love this stuff! I used it last year, once in the
spring and again in the fall. I didn't even get around to fertilizing. This year the plants look better than ever, and the soil test came back better than expected, especially considering I did nothing else.

C. J. Wood - Organic Garden Maintenance


I transplanted $1000 worth of perennials in August and expected to loose a fair amount. After using Microboost Extract, I lost very few. They came back the next year almost double in size, and had very little droop. I sprayed the transplants every third day for 2-3 weeks, and once more in the spring. Also applied a weak solution to the roots.

Dan O' Henry - Home Services in Allendale


I applied MBST Biological Larvacide once in the spring. The swams of anoying little knats disapeared and mosquitoes were greatly reduced. Best of all, I noticed only a small fraction of the Japanesse beetles that had enjoyed picnicking at my place last summer.

Carolyn Churchill - Homeowner and gardener

The MBST objective is to provide a long term, viable alternative to chemical based fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides for the green industries by producing and marketing biologically superior growth media, biostimulants and management programs.

MICROBOOST products are cultured to improve the physical and biological conditions of soil and other growth media. Using MBST products increase disease resistance, and improve nutrient uptake and use by increasing the soil's water holding capacity.

MBST products are:
Good for the environment
Safe for children and pets

Chemical free
