The Fastest Method for Building Topsoil

Why Other Methods Fall Short

  • Compost and organic matter provide short-term gains only.
  • Rock weathering releases nutrients but doesn’t build soil.
  • Natural fertilizers like fish and kelp are costly and less effective.

Carbon Sequestration: Nature's Fast Lane

The fastest way to build topsoil is by harnessing carbon from plant roots. Plants use photosynthesis to produce sugars—85–90% of which come from the air—that act as a glue to form stable, water-retentive soil rich in humus. Research from the USDA NRCS supports carbon sequestration as a key soil health practice. Learn more about activating carbon sequestration and why carbon sequestration matters.

How MycorrPlus Accelerates Soil Building

  • Stimulates Microbes: Boosts beneficial bacteria and mycorrhizal fungi, essential for healthy soil.
  • Supplies Nutrients: Delivers essential nutrients, including ocean trace minerals from our sea mineral products.
  • Boosts Sugar Secretion: Encourages plants to secrete more sugars into the soil, building organic matter rapidly.
  • Activation: Works best with at least 1.1" of moisture and temperatures above 45°F.

Benefits of Rapid Carbon Sequestration

  • Enhanced soil structure and water retention
  • Improved nutrient availability and CEC
  • Up to 25–30% yield increase in the first year
  • Cost-effective: only 32–64 oz/acre needed

Chemical Fertilizers vs. Carbon Sequestration

When plants get nutrients too easily from chemicals, they secrete fewer sugars, reducing the microbial processes that build soil. Standard tests miss 97% of these microbially released nutrients. Discover how MycorrPlus helps restore soil naturally without heavy chemical inputs.
