Apply life to your fields and pastures!
Pasture Spraying and Revitalizing
Save money on hay costs by enhancing your pastures
We provide a healthy alternative to toxic and expensive chemical fertilization of your pastures with our freshly-brewed Aerated Composted Tea (ACT+).
Locally brewed and applied within 24 hours of brewing, our ACT+ inoculates your soil with billions of beneficial microbes which work to improve soil health, at a fraction of the cost of chemical/synthetic fertilizers. In addition, we add an organic nitrogen source, fish protein, to create our pasture mix to give you a slow, steady green-up and sustained, slow release nutrients long after the spray rig has left.
Your livestock herds benefit greatly by the minerals, nutrients and enzymes deposited on to the soil and then taken up by the plants. Many of our customers tell us their herds often prefer the pasture grass over hay most of the time!
However, please know that multiple applications of ACT are necessary to achieve success. This is NOT a one and done sort of thing. This is a program that we schedule times with you throughout the year, based on land and soil conditions, weather and your budget.

The Deep Dive
How does this work?
Application is made by direct spraying from our 500-gallon spray rig. This results in foliar (plant leaves) feeding primarily, which transports nutrients into the plants much more efficiently than just soil application, although that too occurs. The focus is on improving and enhancing the soil structure, which helps improve plant nutritional uptake.
For 2024, we've added some custom features to our mix. We now offer a blend of liquid fish hydrolysate as the nitrogen source. It's really hard to compare synthetic NPK numbers with organic NPK, because the biological activity adds a different dimensioin of feeding the soil as compared to the synthetic NPK. But, if you've got to know, our mix is roughly a 17-17-17mix.
What's the cost? When can this be applied?
Our ACT+ sells for $28/acre, but volume discounts can be applied. Please contact us by e-mail or phone to schedule a no-obligation visit to your property.
ACT+ can be applied most any times of the year for varying reasons, except when near freezing or freezing temperatures are forecast, and before a rainfall. It's best to apply this after a rain, but not too soon that will cause damage to pastures with tire ruts.
A few things to consider . .
- We strongly suggest that multiple sprayings take place, usually four to five throughout the year, depending on conditions. One treatment alone just does not work and is a waste of your money.
- Treatments can be made most any time of the year. However, we do reduce sprayings in the winter as temperature approach the freezing point.
- Payments are due upon completion of each individual application. For payments, we accept cash, check, Venmo, or credit/debit cards. We schedule with you several days in advance and let you know when we will be out there. We don't just show up and spray on a fixed schedule, and understand flexibility is necessary and communication is the key.
- If you choose to hire BLF, we will first schedule a no-cost appointment to come out to view your property, and to discuss how your property will benefit from our ACT, as well as to make some initial suggestions on how to help improve your property.
- We can spray 25 acres at a time and can spray up to 50 acres in a day. If the property is a distance from Decatur, TX, and the property to be sprayed is over 50 acres, we would need to bring the brewers on site and prepare the brew there on your property for more efficiency and cost savings.
