Bring Your Soil Back to Life with Equipment Built for It
Hiwassee builds the equipment that turns finished compost into a field-ready microbial extract, so you can rebuild soil biology on your own operation, at your own scale, and verify it's working.
Trusted by Growers Around the World.
What You're Buying
Four Equipment Lines, One Connected System
Grow biology in compost, pull it out into a field-ready liquid extract, and verify it worked - each line below handles one part, sold direct or through authorized dealers.
Compost Extractors
Manual to motorized systems that turn finished compost into consistent, field-ready microbial extract.
VermiFlow Systems
Continuous-flow vermicomposting systems (worm bins) that produce consistent compost tea, batch after batch.
Bulk Compost Program
Repeatable composting practices that cultivate the specific microbial biomass the rest of the system relies on.
hPACK Mobile Lab
Portable biology analysis for compost, extracts, and soil, so you can verify results without shipping samples offsite.
The Hiwassee System
Cultivate. Extract. Analyze.
One connected workflow, three purpose-built equipment lines. Select a step to see how it fits together.
Cultivate
Build beneficial microbial biomass with GROZOME Compost or an on-site VermiFlow system, using specific, repeatable composting practices that form the biological foundation every downstream step depends on.
Extract
Pull microbes and soluble nutrients out of finished compost with the X350 Bio-Extractor, producing a field-ready liquid extract you can apply as a seed coating, in-furrow, via fertigation, as a root dip, or as a foliar spray. Throughput scales from market gardens to large operations.
Explore Extraction Equipment
Analyze
Verify what's actually happening biologically in compost, extracts, and soil with the hPACK mobile lab kit, built to travel to the field instead of the other way around.

Extraction Efficiency
See the Biology Difference
Drag the slider to compare compost's microbial biology before extraction against what's left after. Hiwassee extractors pull as much of that biology into the extract as possible, batch after batch, independently evaluated by the Soil Food Web as more efficient than large-scale brewer-method extraction.
Left: the microbial biology living in compost before it enters the extractor. Right: that same compost afterward. Typically up to 90% of its biology has been pulled out into the liquid extract, ready for the field.
Regenerative Agriculture
Built Around the Six Principles of Soil Health
Hiwassee equipment puts the six core principles of soil health to work in the field.
1Understand Context
hPACK puts a microscope in the field to verify what's actually happening in your biology.
Analyze
2Minimize Soil Disturbance
Extract applies by foliar or fertigation, no tillage required.
Extract
3Maximize Crop Diversity
Biologically rich compost feeds the broad microbial community a diverse rotation depends on.
Cultivate
4Keep the Soil Covered
Extract over cover-crop residue speeds the cycling that makes cover productive.
Extract
5Maintain Living Root All Year
Extract feeds the rhizosphere biology that living roots rely on year-round.

6Integrate Livestock
Compost and VermiFlow often start with manure and bedding, cycling it back into the field.
