Across regenerative and soil-focused agriculture, one topic continues to gain attention: soil biology.
Healthy soil is not just about nutrients. It is a living system filled with bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and nematodes that work together to cycle nutrients, build soil structure, and support plant health.
When this biological system is active, farms often see better nutrient availability, improved soil aggregation, stronger root development, and greater resilience during weather stress.
For farmers interested in restoring soil biology at scale, GROZOME is now offering rental access to the Hiwassee HPX100 Continuous Flow Bio-Extractor for farms across North Carolina.
What Is Microbial Extraction?
Microbial extraction is a process that pulls beneficial microorganisms out of high-quality compost and suspends them in water so they can be applied across fields as a liquid.
Instead of applying large volumes of compost, microbial extraction allows farmers to distribute the living biology from compost across large acreages efficiently.
This microbial solution can be applied through sprayers, irrigation systems, or other liquid application equipment already used on the farm.
The goal is simple: introduce beneficial microbes that help rebuild the soil food web.
These organisms play important roles in:
Nutrient cycling
Breaking down organic matter
Improving soil aggregation
Supporting root systems
Helping plants access nutrients already present in the soil

The HPX100 Continuous Flow Bio-Extractor
The HPX100 from Hiwassee Products is designed for farms and land managers who want to apply soil biology efficiently.
This extractor produces up to 250 gallons of microbially rich extract per hour by pulling microorganisms from compost and transferring them into a liquid solution.
Key features include:
Continuous flow system producing large volumes of extract
Portable design that can be used directly on farms
Off-grid capable operation requiring only water
Compatibility with common agricultural spray systems
This makes it practical for farms that want to apply microbial extracts across multiple acres without purchasing specialized equipment.
Who This System Is Designed For?
The HPX100 rental is well suited for:
Vegetable and market farms looking to strengthen soil biology and root health.
Row crop farms interested in regenerative agriculture practices and reducing dependence on synthetic inputs.
Orchards and vineyards where soil microbial activity plays a major role in long-term plant health.
Tree farms, arborists, and landscape professionals managing large soil systems.
Many growers use microbial extracts as part of a broader soil health strategy that includes compost, cover crops, and reduced tillage.
Why Soil Biology Matters on the Farm
Soil microbes act as the engine that drives nutrient availability.
Bacteria and fungi break down organic matter and release nutrients in plant-available forms. Fungi help transport nutrients and water through the soil profile. Protozoa and nematodes regulate microbial populations and help cycle nutrients back into the soil.
When these biological systems decline, soils often require more inputs to maintain productivity.
Reintroducing beneficial microbes through compost extracts helps rebuild that biological network.
This approach focuses on restoring natural soil processes rather than relying entirely on external inputs.
HPX100 Rental Available for North Carolina Farms
GROZOME now offers rental access to the Hiwassee HPX100 Bio-Extractor for farms throughout North Carolina.
Delivery is available across much of the state with advance scheduling. Local delivery and pickup can be arranged with sufficient notice. The extractor allows farmers to experiment with soil biology applications without the cost of purchasing a full extraction system.
First-time renters can also access introductory pricing, making it easier to explore microbial extraction as part of a soil health strategy. Optional microbial starter packs are also available with rental to help ensure a complete microbial extract when preparing the first batches.

A Tool for Regenerative Soil Management
Interest in soil biology continues to grow as more farmers explore regenerative and biologically driven agriculture.
Tools like the HPX100 Bio-Extractor make it possible to multiply beneficial microbes and apply them efficiently across farms, orchards, and agricultural landscapes.
For growers working to rebuild soil function, microbial extraction offers a practical way to introduce beneficial organisms and strengthen the soil food web.

Healthy soil begins with a thriving microbial community beneath the surface.
Q&A: Microbial Extraction and Soil Biology for Farmers
Q: What is a microbial extractor?
A: A microbial extractor is a piece of equipment that pulls beneficial microorganisms out of compost and suspends them in water so they can be applied as a liquid solution. This allows farmers to distribute the biology from compost across large areas of soil using sprayers or irrigation systems.
Q: How is microbial extraction different from compost tea?
A: Microbial extraction focuses on pulling organisms directly from compost without actively growing them with added foods. This process preserves the existing microbial community found in the compost and allows it to be applied across fields quickly. Compost tea systems typically involve brewing microbes over time using additional nutrients.
Q: Why would a farmer apply microbes to their soil?
A: Soil microbes are responsible for many important functions in agricultural systems. They help break down organic matter, cycle nutrients, improve soil structure, and support healthy root systems. When soils lose biological diversity, crops may rely more heavily on external inputs. Reintroducing beneficial microbes can help restore these natural soil processes.
Q: How much extract can the HPX100 produce?
A: The HPX100 Continuous Flow Bio-Extractor can produce up to 250 gallons of microbially rich extract per hour, depending on the compost and water source being used.
Q: How is microbial extract applied on a farm?
A: Most farmers apply microbial extract using equipment they already own. The liquid can be distributed through field sprayers, irrigation systems, backpack sprayers, or other liquid application tools.
Q: What type of compost is used in microbial extraction?
A: High-quality, biologically active compost is essential for successful microbial extraction. The compost should contain a diverse microbial community and be free from contaminants. The microbes extracted from the compost become the foundation of the liquid solution applied to soil.
Q: Is microbial extraction used in regenerative agriculture?
A: Yes. Many regenerative farmers use microbial extracts as part of a broader soil health strategy that includes compost, cover crops, reduced tillage, and organic matter management. The goal is to rebuild the soil food web and support natural nutrient cycling.
Q: Who benefits most from microbial extraction?
A: Microbial extraction can benefit a wide range of agricultural systems including vegetable farms, orchards, vineyards, row crop farms, and tree farms. Any operation interested in improving soil biology and long-term soil health may find microbial extraction useful.
Q: Is the HPX100 available for rent in North Carolina?
A: Yes. GROZOME now offers rental access to the Hiwassee HPX100 Continuous Flow Bio-Extractor for farms across North Carolina. Delivery is available throughout much of the state with advance scheduling, and local delivery is available near Asheville.
Q: Do I need special training to use the extractor?
A: The HPX100 is designed to be portable and user-friendly. It requires water and high-quality compost to produce microbial extract. GROZOME can also provide guidance to help farmers prepare their first batches and understand how to apply microbial solutions effectively.
