Testimonials

As a cultivator, using an experienced crew such as DBS to create rock-solid results each time we turnover our operation is the best business decision a farmer can make. Amending hundreds of yards of soil effectively on that scale requires solid professional experience. Savings in labor, increased output, and ease of management are incalculable. I regularly use this service and recommend it to others.” ​

“DBS helped us develop an essential virus and viroid testing protocol which is tantamount to our nursery success. DBS also created a solution for our real time inventory reporting that no other CRM had been able to resolve.”
Daniel Hendricks
HendRx Nursery
“Feeling confident about what our soil needed helped us to save money by not spending it on unneeded amendments for our garden. Having their Bloom & Grow mixes helped a ton with the simplicity of the amending process. The DBS team helped us feel confident about what nutrients we needed for that season. Savings of about $3000-10,000 a year, maybe more! 10x more efficient in applying our amendments through DBS. We love getting our soil results from DBS and the advice they always have for us. We get to start our year off feeling great about what we're providing for our plants. DBS is so helpful for our farm!! Incalculable saved labor, increased output and ease of management."

This season we have not needed liquids on our plants we attribute that to the strong compost teas and the amazing nutrient management plan. Can’t have one without the other. It’s the trifecta. First need food in the soil. Bringing the soil to life with compost tea and have right equipment brew and apply the teas."
Craig Johnson
Alpenglow Farms
“ DBS testing took all the guess work out of what our soil needed. We had a lot of hypotheses of what was wrong but the tests confirmed what we needed to know. I have nothing but the best to say for Sarah at DBS. I credit their soil analysis in 2015 a huge component in our top 10 placement in the emerald cup - I’d love to get my soil tested with them again.”

"DBS provides an incredible service to the community which helps growers save money on unnecessary plant nutrients, which in turn decreases nutrient loading into our ecosystem.
