Maximize

Concentrated organic soil amendment with minerals and live microbes.

Maximize contains almost every mineral nutrient that occurs naturally in soil and higher level microbes (bacteria, fungi, protozoa) that digest thatch and dead leaves.

 

Maximize can be applied next to the roots of new and existing plantings. It contains mycorrhizae fungi which attaches to roots and aids in nutrition, disease suppression, and stimulation of root growth.

 

For more comprehensive results, try our Blend, which contains Optimize, Maximize, and Nourish-Biosol. 

 

You can create your own Blend with 1 part Optimize, 2 parts Nourish-Biosol, and 3 parts Maximize. Or you can purchase pre-mixed Blend for your convenience.

Results speak for their products

I wouldn’t be without John & Bob’s products - I use Optimize, Maximize, and Nourish Biosol on a regular basis, year after year. Lots of BLUE ribbons at the Fair. Besides having great products, their customer service is second to none.
