Our Practices
Our growing practices are based on the research and work of Dr. Maynard Murray, author of Sea Energy Agriculture. We water our plants with a diluted Sea Salt solution which contains the Full Spectrum of Trace Elements. Every element in the periodic table can be found in Ocean Water. To preserve those elements, the Sea Salt must be sun-dried and never rained on before it's harvested. Rain water, like distilled water, is void of minerals, so if it comes in contact with Sea Salt it leaches most of the Trace Elements from the salt. It's very important to only use Sea Salt which has the full spectrum of elements. Ocean Water is another option if it's harvested several miles offshore to avoid contaminants. Each plant has the ability to take in a different combination of Trace Elements when they are available in the soil or water.
The maximum amount of minerals a plant can take in varies from plant to plant. Even though microgreens and wheatgrass can grow with distilled water (which is void of trace elements), they will have a significantly low mineral content. We make it a point to provide the full spectrum of nutrition to our plants. We grow our microgreens and grasses in certified organic soil and water our trays with a diluted sea salt solution which contains the full spectrum of trace elements. When plants are able to take in the maximum amount of trace elements they are much healthier and much more disease-resistant.
