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 sue. 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.

A method and system is provided for using biochar in composting environments to control temperature, moisture, acid and pH levels, odors and bacterial cultures. The method further includes treating the biochar prior to combining it with the compost to further control such parameters.

A facility for the recycling of biomaterial with a fermentation stage, whereby the fermentation stage has a fermentation chamber for the production of biogas through anaerobic fermentation of the biomaterial, and with a hygiene stage that is positioned downstream from the fermentation stage, whereby the hygiene stage has a hygienization chamber for the reception and the thermal hygienization of biomaterial discharged from the fermentation stage. A process for the recycling of biomaterial by zymosis is also provided, whereby biogas is produced in a fermentation stage through anaerobic fermentation of the biomaterial, whereby the biomaterial is, after flowing through the fermentation stage, conveyed to a hygiene stage in which the biomaterial thermal is hygienized, and whereby the biomaterial is, after flowing through the hygiene stage, made available as recyclable agricultural, hygienized fermentation residue.

A method for restoring a contaminated site comprising the steps of: undertaking a primary amendment of a contaminated site with a first catalyst and a second catalyst, wherein the first catalyst and the second catalyst are applied to at least a portion of the contaminated site such that a matrix of biological energy generation points are constructed on about 5% of the contaminated site by area; undertaking a secondary amendment of the contaminated site with the first catalyst and the second catalyst, wherein the first catalyst and the second catalyst are applied to at least a portion of the contaminated site such that a matrix of biological energy generation points are constructed on about 20% of the contaminated site by area, and undertaking a tertiary amendment of the contaminated site with the first catalyst and the second catalyst, wherein the first catalyst and the second catalyst are applied to at least a portion of the contaminated site such that a matrix of biological energy generation points are constructed on about 75% of the contaminated site by area, wherein the contaminated site is a contaminated site that has excessive acidity, alkalinity and/or sodic contamination, and wherein the primary amendment, the secondary amendment and the tertiary amendment of the contaminated site are each conducted at least once and wherein the outcome of those amendments is the improved capacity of the soil of the contaminated site to balance hydrogen compounds such that excessive acidity, alkalinity or sodic properties of the contaminated site are ameliorated.
