DMO — Diverse Micro-Organisms — is a living, natural culture of beneficial microbes that break down and digest organic matter, and bring a balanced micro-organism profile back to your soil.
On the anaerobic scale (they don’t need oxygen to survive), DMO is a set of beneficial organisms that digest organic matter — promoting healthy soil, breaking down odour in manure, digesting plant matter into compost, and a host of other applications.
It’s a liquid concentrate produced through a natural fermentation process, cultivated from over 80 varieties of micro-organisms — built on three working groups:
No. DMO is a combination of naturally occurring, beneficial, non-toxic and non-pathogenic micro-organisms. They were discovered, not genetically engineered or altered — and they are safe for soil, air, groundwater, land, animals and humans.
DMO is alive: active microbes found in all healthy ecosystems. It re-establishes equilibrium in the soil profile, improving and maintaining the chemical and physical properties of your soil.
Breaks down organic matter and harmful gases, turning waste into compost — anywhere, without moving it.
Increases the population of native beneficial bacteria and suppresses harmful microbes.
Helps produce healthy crops with consistently higher yields and stronger plant immunity.
Raise animals with less reliance on antibiotics, reduce smell, and recycle kitchen waste.
Reduces sludge and smell in rivers and ponds, and supports fish and shrimp without antibiotics.
Lactic acid suppresses harmful micro-organisms and speeds the breakdown of resistant materials.
The rule of thumb: the deader the soil, the stronger the mix — the more balanced the soil, the gentler.
Mix stronger to jump-start it: up to 40% (40 ml DMO per 100 ml water), once a month for three months, applied with watering.
A weekly 5–10% dilution keeps soil biology active and plant immunity intact — less, more often.
Apply directly for composting, household disinfecting and fly control. 1 L of concentrate makes ~100 L for soil.
Stronger for deader soil, gentler for balanced soil. Pick your soil’s condition and how much you want to mix.
