Our Story

4G Soil Restoration was founded by Tom Wafford in Dillsboro, Indiana with a straightforward observation: most soil problems aren't really about the plants — they're about what's happening underground. Decades of synthetic fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides have stripped soil of the beneficial microorganisms that plants depend on.

Through years of research into soil biology, Tom developed Organic Growth Burst — a microbial soil amendment that doesn't just feed plants temporarily, but rebuilds the living ecosystem in the soil itself. The formula introduces beneficial bacteria, mycorrhizal fungi, enzymes, and chelated minerals that work together to restore what chemical farming has taken away.

What started as a solution for local Indiana farms has grown into a nationwide operation. Today, 4G Soil Restoration ships to all 50 states, serving everyone from backyard gardeners growing their first tomatoes to commercial orchards managing hundreds of acres.

Our Approach

We believe in correcting the cause, not chasing the symptom. Weeds, pests, poor yields, and plant disease are indicators of unhealthy soil biology — not problems to solve with more chemicals.

Our products restore the microbial ecosystem that nature intended. When soil biology is healthy, plants access nutrients more efficiently, resist pests naturally, and produce higher-quality harvests. The soil improves year after year — reducing your dependency on expensive chemical inputs.

This isn't a temporary fix. Each application of Organic Growth Burst builds on the last, creating self-sustaining soil health that compounds over time. Our customers consistently report that their best results come in the second and third seasons.

The Science

How Healthy Soil Actually Works

Soil is the digestive system of plant life. Just as probiotics restore gut health in people, beneficial microorganisms restore the biological activity that plants depend on.

Microbial Restoration

Organic Growth Burst reintroduces beneficial bacteria (Bacillus, Pseudomonas) and mycorrhizal fungi that form the foundation of the soil food web. These organisms break down organic matter, fix nitrogen, and make nutrients plant-available.

Chemical Breakdown

Specific enzymes — including dehalogenase — degrade glyphosate and other herbicide residues into harmless compounds. Independent lab tests confirm up to 90% glyphosate reduction in 45 days.

Nutrient Availability

Chelated minerals (iron, zinc, manganese, copper, boron) stay in plant-available form instead of locking up in soil chemistry. Combined with improved plant-ready calcium, this means stronger cell walls, better nutrient uptake, and higher Brix levels.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our organic soil amendments, application, and ordering.

Organic Growth Burst is a WSDA Registered Organic soil amendment containing beneficial microorganisms, natural enzymes, and chelated minerals. It restores soil biology naturally — rebuilding the microbial ecosystem that chemical farming practices have damaged.

Yes. Organic Growth Burst is 100% non-toxic and non-hazardous. It is safe for plants, people, pets, and pollinators. It contains only natural microorganisms and organic minerals — no synthetic chemicals.

WSDA stands for Washington State Department of Agriculture. Our WSDA Organic registration confirms that Organic Growth Burst meets the standards of the USDA National Organic Program (NOP) as an approved organic input.

Organic Growth Burst is our flagship soil amendment for general soil restoration. Organic Digester Boost is a microbial inoculant designed to break down crop residue and compost faster. Organic Digester Plus is an enhanced concentration formula for severely degraded soils that need intensive restoration.

We offer two calcium formulas: the Dormant Mix for fall/winter application that builds calcium reserves in soil, and the Growing Mix for spring/summer application that supports active plant growth. Both provide plant-ready calcium that strengthens cell walls and improves nutrient uptake.

Mix 3 oz per gallon of water and apply evenly to soil. One gallon of concentrate covers approximately 4 acres. Apply twice per year — once in early spring before planting and again in late summer or early fall.

Yes. Unlike chemical treatments that require dry conditions, Organic Growth Burst can be applied during rainfall. Water actually helps activate the beneficial microorganisms.

Soil biology begins responding within days of application. Visible improvements in plant color, root development, and soil texture typically appear within weeks. Full soil ecosystem restoration builds over a complete growing season and improves with each subsequent application.

Yes. Independent laboratory tests confirm up to 90% reduction in glyphosate levels over 45 days. Our product contains specific bacteria (Bacillus and Pseudomonas species) that produce enzymes capable of breaking glyphosate down into harmless compounds.

Absolutely. Apply 3-6 oz per gallon of water around the drip line (outer edge of branches) of established trees. Orchards and vineyards are one of our highest-value use cases — the calcium and microbial support directly improve fruit quality and yield.

We offer 16 oz bottles ($49.95), 1-gallon jugs ($200), and 2.5-gallon containers ($500). For commercial operations, we also offer 250-gallon totes — contact us for bulk pricing.

Yes. We ship to all 50 states from our facility in Indiana.

Yes. We offer tiered wholesale pricing for resellers, distributors, and commercial operations. Contact us at info@4gsoilrestoration.com or book a consultation for wholesale details.

Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. The microorganisms in the formula are shelf-stable but perform best when stored at moderate temperatures. Do not freeze.
