Frequently Asked Questions
Residential FAQ's
For everybody who cares about their plants, indoors or outdoors, using Water Less Garden® and Living Mulch® the three most important questions are:
What is humus, and why is it important for soil health?
Humus is the dark, nutrient-rich material formed from decomposed organic matter. It helps soil hold moisture, boosts nutrient availability, and improves structure. Products like Water Less Garden® help speed up humus formation naturally, making your soil healthier and more productive, while Living Mulch® supports humus by protecting and feeding the soil year-round.
Can humus help reduce the need for chemical fertilizers?
Yes! Humus naturally releases nutrients over time, reducing the need for synthetic fertilizers. Water Less Garden® boosts this process by enriching the soil with humus-building compounds, while Living Mulch® helps retain nutrients and organic matter on the soil surface.
How does humus help soil hold more water?
Humus acts like a sponge, holding up to 90% of its weight in water. Water Less Garden® enhances this effect by improving soil’s water retention, meaning you can water less often. Living Mulch® also reduces evaporation, keeping moisture locked into the soil longer.
How do Water Less Garden® and Living Mulch® work together to improve humus and soil health?r?
Water Less Garden® feeds your soil from within by accelerating humus creation, while Living Mulch® protects the soil surface, prevents erosion, and continuously adds organic matter. Together, they create a rich, humus-filled environment that promotes healthy, vibrant plants with less watering and fewer chemicals.
Commercial FAQ's
Farmers, landscaping companies, and golf courses, and other commercial growers have several important problems related to soil health, plant growth, and environmental sustainability.
Are Water Less Garden® and Living Mulch® suitable for turf management in golf courses and sports fields?
Absolutely. Both products improve soil health and create a dense humus layer, promoting greener, healthier turf with less fertilizer and water. This is ideal for maintaining premium-quality grass on high-traffic surfaces like golf courses, parks, and sports fields.
How can humus improve large-scale farming or landscaping projects?
Humus boosts soil fertility and water retention, reducing input costs and increasing crop or plant health. Water Less Garden® and Living Mulch® are ideal for commercial farms and landscapers, helping create resilient, nutrient-dense soil that performs under tough conditions.
How can we reduce pest and disease issues naturally?
Water Less Garden®, and Living Mulch® naturally reduce pests and diseases by creating a healthy, balanced soil ecosystem. Humus boosts plant strength and immunity by improving nutrient uptake and reducing stress, making plants less attractive to pests. These products also feed beneficial microbes and fungi that outcompete harmful pathogens, while Living Mulch® attracts helpful insects like ladybugs and predatory wasps that keep pests in check. Together, they build a resilient soil environment that protects plants naturally—without the need for synthetic chemicals.
Can commercial farms and landscapers expect ROI from using Water Less Garden® and Living Mulch®?
Yes! By improving humus levels, these products reduce fertilizer, pesticide, and water costs while enhancing soil productivity. Over time, healthier soil boosts plant yields and reduces maintenance expenses—delivering measurable savings and better long-term returns.
Are Water Less Garden® and Living Mulch® scalable for large-acreage farming?
Absolutely. Both products are designed for scalable application, from small farms to thousands of acres. They integrate easily into existing commercial farming systems to build humus levels and improve crop resilience across large tracts of land.
How can we promote sustainability and soil regeneration?
Soil degradation from synthetic fertilizers raises sustainability concerns. Water Less Garden®, and Living Mulch® promote long-term soil health through microbial activity, reducing the need for chemical fertilizers and supporting sustainable, regenerative land management.
