The Functional Soils microbe products have made a meaningful impact on our landscaping business to say the least! We’ve noticed the difference especially through the summer heat - in lawns, trees, and gardens where we’ve applied FS microbial products - we’ve seen noticeably better resilience through hot, dry conditions. I often tell my customers that if I had to choose just one product to use on my own plants, hands down, it would be microbes! They’ve quickly become an essential part of how we prefer to care for landscapes. In addition to that, our experience with the FS team has been excellent - they are always generous with their time when I have questions, very prompt with fulfilling orders, and enjoyable to work with.
