Frequently asked questions

Restored Harvest offers three main products: BioRoc, PowerRoc, and RocTea, which are all 100% natural, non-chemical products registered with the California Department of Food and Agriculture.

While products like Azomite, which is primarily composed of diatomaceous earth, offer certain mineral benefits, they deliver only about 20% of the nutrients that BioRoc provides. BioRoc's diverse and rich nutrient profile offers a more comprehensive solution, ensuring superior soil enrichment and plant nutrition.

The products contribute by reducing carbon footprint, preventing nutrient runoff and groundwater contamination, and providing a sustainable agricultural legacy through enhanced soil health and increased biodiversity.

PowerRoc is applied in the fall to slowly release nutrients over several months, while BioRoc, applied in the spring, supports seed germination and bacterial growth for robust plants and crops.

RocTea is an eco-friendly solution that effectively prevents pests, fungus, and blight without chemical sprays, maintaining a balanced ecosystem and is safe for beneficial insects.

BioRoc rejuvenates poor soil conditions by increasing grass density, eliminating puddles, turning brown spots green, and enhancing bacterial activity through its rich rock powder-based nutrients.

Using these products can save water, reduce carbon footprint, promote clean air, and prevent agricultural chemical runoffs, thereby contributing to a cleaner and more sustainable planet.

For garden use, blend a 5 lb bag of BioRoc per 100 sq. ft. of garden soil with kitchen scraps, wet it down, let it sit for 48 hours, and then lightly spread the blended soil on your garden, shrubs, and flowers. Apply once in the Spring.

For garden use, blend a 5 lb bag of PoweRoc per 100 sq. ft. of garden soil with kitchen scraps, wet it down, let it sit for 48 hours, and then lightly spread the blended soil on your garden, shrubs, and flowers. Apply once in the Fall.

They release essential nutrients into the soil, support plant growth, reduce the need for synthetic fertilizers, and help rebuild eroded soils, ultimately enhancing soil fertility.

The products have been proven effective through large-scale trials and case studies, demonstrating significant improvements in soil health, water retention, and crop yields compared to conventional methods. Visit our Case Study and Learning Center pages.

BioRoc stands out in the market due to its unique formulation. We are the only company globally that uses a blend of five different types of rock powders, optimizing the nutrient matrix available to plants. This exclusive blend allows us to maximize the range of minerals and nutrients provided, enhancing plant growth and soil health far more effectively than standard products. Our unique approach and composition are so distinctive that we have successfully patented it, ensuring that BioRoc offers a one-of-a-kind solution not available anywhere else.

BioRoc is distinctively positioned in the market due to its unparalleled formulation. We are the only company in the world that utilizes a blend of five different types of rock powders to optimize the nutrient matrix. This exclusive combination not only enhances the range of minerals and nutrients provided to plants but also significantly improves soil health more effectively than other products. Our unique approach and composition are so innovative that we have secured a patent for it, making BioRoc a truly unique solution not available from any other company.

Bioroc uses a strategy that changes the environment or behavior of nematodes, encouraging them to return to their natural roles in the soil, such as decomposition. This shift discourages them from feeding on plant roots, thereby protecting the plants.

Nematodes play several roles in the soil ecosystem, with most being beneficial. Their primary function involves the decomposition of organic material, which helps in nutrient cycling and maintaining healthy soil biology. Redirecting nematodes to their natural roles enhances soil health and sustainability by maintaining their beneficial activities, such as breaking down organic matter and aiding in nutrient recycling. This approach avoids the ecological disruption that might result from eliminating nematodes entirely.

Yes, by naturally managing nematode behavior, Bioroc reduces the need for chemical pesticides that are traditionally used to kill harmful nematodes. This not only helps in promoting a healthier soil ecosystem but also supports sustainable farming practices.

Bioroc has been shown to be effective in controlling nematode populations by leveraging their natural behaviors. However, the effectiveness can vary based on environmental conditions and the specific types of nematodes present. It is advisable for users to monitor their soil and plant health regularly to assess the effectiveness of Bioroc in their specific contexts.
