The Choice Is Yours
The High Brix Garden program is really a 3-part program. First a soil test is taken to determine a starting point for a soil remineralization program. Secondly, on the basis of the soil test, a mixture of soil amendments, fertilizers, and microbial inoculants is custom formulated for your specific soil. Lastly nutrient drenches and foliar sprays are used in order to increase the mineral density of produce and keep the soil high in available nutrients.
The second part of the program is the nutritional foundation of your soil’s health. Without it the foliar sprays and nutrient drenches are considerably less effective and the ability to achieve high brix is seriously limited. For this reason the annual broadcast of nutrients is considered a critically important component in the High Brix Garden program. International Ag Labs offers gardeners several options for obtaining high mineral density produce from their own gardens.
The Cadillac program
The first thing we offer is the Cadillac program where one price buys the complete program from start to finish for one calendar year. Specifically this includes:
- The soil test including the microbial activity of the soil and the Soil Index
- An Executive Report on the various parameters of your soil
- A complete schedule of when to apply the broadcast, nutrient drenches and foliar sprays
- A custom blend of dry nutrients based on your garden size as described above
- A complete line of liquid products to be used according to the accompanying schedule
- Shipping – All products needed for the garden program are shipped without an additional cost.
The Cadillac program is priced on garden size according to the formula below.
A flat fee of $150 plus $0.50 per square foot for the first 1,000 square feet. Any amount beyond 1,000 square feet would be charged a square foot fee of $0.25. Thus a 1,000 square foot garden would cost $150 + (1,000 X .50) = $650. A 2,000 square foot garden would cost $150 + $500 + 250 = $900.
The Piecemeal Program
The piecemeal program is considerably cheaper to start than the Cadillac program. In this program each basic component in the High Brix Garden program has its own cost as follows.
Step One: S-1 and S-2 This combination is the basic soil test for gardens. This part costs $72.
Step Two: The custom blend of nutrients. This entails a $40 mixing charge plus $0.35 / lb. of mixed product. Shipping is added to cost of nutrient blend.
Step Three: Foliar Sprays and Nutrient Drenches can be purchased as needed. Prices according to labeled prices with shipping added according to the weight.
