A system and method for preparing a microbial supplement, and applying the supplement to plants, trees and other items to promote their growth. The supplement comprises seawater, including microbes that naturally exist in seawater. Seawater is harvested containing microbes in an inactive or dormant state. The seawater undergoes a filtration, mineralization and oxygenation process to reduce sodium chloride levels, to increase the levels of desirable minerals in the seawater and to oxygenate the seawater to keep the microbes alive, though in a dormant or inactive state. The microbes are maintained in an inactive or dormant state through the preparation process, but become active when the supplement is applied to plants or trees, thereby promoting agricultural growth.

A process is disclosed for creating biologically active soil or horticulture media for growing plants, wherein a fibrous carbon source such as coconut coir in a predetermined particulate form is mixed with fertilizers and other biological nutrients, inoculated with a biologically active substance such as worm castings and then aged or cured in an oxygen rich aerobic process. After which additional nutrients can be added to tailor the aged media for a specific use. Various apparatus with which to conduct the aging process are also described. In a variation of the process used soil or horticulture media is recharged by first composting at a high temperature to remove harmful and unwanted items, its contents are evaluated, nutrients are added, and it is then aged in an aerobic process.

Disclosed are methods and systems for the conversion of poultry waste into useful products. Some embodiments are directed to a process for forming a product solution from poultry waste. The process includes providing a feedstock that contains greater than 60 percent poultry waste, and anaerobically digesting the feedstock to produce a digestate that has a solids content of about 5% to about 15% by weight. The process also includes separating and classifying the digestate into multiple high solids fractions and a first filtrate. The process also includes adding the high solids fractions to an acid solution to form a slurry that is then separated and classified into multiple second solids fractions and a second filtrate. The process also includes clarifying the first and second filtrates to produce a first and a second centrate. The process also includes mixing the first centrate with the second centrate to form the product solution.
