REGENiCHARGE™ (1 gal)

The starter Soil Battery — one bag, one bed.

REGENiCHARGE™ (1 gal) is a fully charged carbon matrix infused with our REGENiGROW™ biology — a Soil Battery sized for a single smaller raised bed, a container garden, or a first-time trial before you scale up. Install it once at planting and the battery holds water, nutrients, microbes, and enzymes in the root zone, releasing them on your plants' schedule, not on a fertilizer label's.

What it is

A Soil Battery is exactly what it sounds like: a pre-conditioned substrate that stores everything your plants need underground and releases it as the plants ask for it. The carbon matrix is the physical structure — porous, durable, good for years. The infused REGENiGROW™ biology is the charge — microbes, enzymes, humic-like substances, and trace nutrients that wake up the soil community and keep it working all season. Together they're something different from commodity biochar and different from a biostimulant. They're a system. You install the battery; the battery does the work.

What it does in your garden

• Holds water in the root zone through dry stretches, reducing how often you have to water.
• Holds nutrients that would otherwise leach past the roots and end up downstream.
• Hosts soil biology on its surfaces — microbes have a place to live, enzymes stay stabilized, and the soil community gets denser around your plants.
• Persists for years. Carbon matrices don't biodegrade on a season timescale. The battery you install this spring is still working three springs from now.

Where to use it

One 1-gallon bag treats approximately 12–20 square feet when worked into the top 6 inches of soil. Good fits include a 4×4 ft raised bed, a small cut-flower patch, a row of container plantings, the planting hole for a single fruit tree or rose bush, or a starter trial before committing to a larger bed.

How to apply

At bed prep or planting, work the contents of the bag into the top 6 inches of soil. Water in thoroughly. Plant on top. No follow-up application required — though many growers add a seasonal recharge with our liquid REGENiGROW™ during heavy growth periods or drought stress.

Already planted? See the FAQ below — REGENiCHARGE™ works as a top dressing too.

What our customers see

Side-by-side raised-bed trials in USDA zone 6b Pennsylvania showed dahlias planted in REGENiCHARGE™-amended soil reaching multi-branch canopies and full foliage development by week six, while control-bed plants of the same variety, planted the same week, were still in single-stem establishment. Comparable results have been documented in high-desert Utah turf trials and arid-climate vegetable gardens. Soil biology, once it's properly fed and housed, does its work regardless of climate.

The recharge

For established beds where the battery is already installed, or for lawns and turf areas where bulk amendment isn't practical, our liquid REGENiGROW™ is the seasonal recharge. Install once. Recharge as needed. Shop REGENiGROW™ →

Need to cover more ground?

Larger beds and multi-bed installations are typically a better fit for our 2-gallon Soil Battery (covers a standard 4×8 raised bed) or our complete REGENiCHARGE™ + REGENiGROW™ system (install plus a season's worth of recharge in one box).

Common questions

Is this just biochar? The carbon matrix is biochar-based, but the product is not commodity biochar. The charge — the infused biology, enzymes, and humic-like fraction we add inside our bioreactor — is what makes it a Soil Battery rather than a bag of pyrolyzed wood.

Can I add REGENiCHARGE™ after I've already planted? Yes. The easiest application is to work it into the soil at bed prep, but you can also apply REGENiCHARGE™ as a top dressing around established plants. Spread evenly across the soil surface and water in thoroughly. The carbon matrix works its way down through the root zone over the next few waterings, and the infused biology releases slowly from there — feeding your plants over weeks rather than the days you'd get from a conventional fertilizer. The Soil Battery doesn't care whether you install it before or after the plants are in the ground; it just cares that it gets there.

Is the 1-gallon really enough for a starter trial? Yes, if your bed is small. For a 4×4 ft raised bed (16 sq ft) the 1-gallon size is the right dose. For a standard 4×8 bed (32 sq ft), step up to the 2-gallon.

How often do I need to reapply? The carbon matrix persists for years. The biological charge depletes over a season or two depending on plant demand. Most customers top off with REGENiGROW™ during the growing season, or apply a fresh REGENiCHARGE™ amendment every two to three years.

Is it safe around pets and kids? Yes. No synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or chemical fertilizers. Standard handling care: wash hands after use.
