What’s Happening Below the Surface This Spring

Soil temperatures are rising, bringing the opportunity to activate biology and set the tone for the season.

While things are just getting started above ground, critical activity is already happening below the surface. Roots are expanding, and early decisions will shape performance all season long.

Spring isn’t just about growth; it’s a key recovery window. After seed head production, turf is often depleted and needs to rebuild energy before facing seasonal stress.

At the same time, soil biology is still waking up, limiting nutrient cycling. This is where many programs fall short, pushing growth instead of supporting recovery.

Right now, the focus should be:

  • Rebuilding energy

  • Supporting roots

  • Activating soil biology

Jack says it best in this video, recovery starts below the surface.

How EarthWorks Supports Recovery

That’s where EarthWorks comes in. Through Biological Soil Management, we focus on feeding the soil so it can do the work.

  • Renovate Plus → Fuels soil biology with concentrated carbon energy

  • Sea3 → Drives plant metabolism, nutrient uptake, and overall health

The result: A stronger connection between soil activity and plant performance when recovery matters most.

By activating the soil and supporting the plant at the same time, we build resilience, improve efficiency, and set the stage for consistent performance heading into summer.
