Living Soil, Stangl’s Way: Nature’s Brew Unleashes Plant Power

Soil Health – Stangl’s Enviro Lawn Care

Unveil the Secrets of Your Soil with Stangl’s Soil Health Calculation

Soil’s Alive — Stangl Proves It

I’m Michael Stangl — 45 years in St. Catharines turning dirt into living soil since 1981.
John Kempf said it best: “Keep the soil micro-organisms happy and the system runs at peak efficiency.” That’s exactly what my Soil Health Calculation does. We don’t just dump fertilizer and hope for the best. We look under the microscope and fix what’s really going on beneath your grass.

Stangl’s Soil Calculation: Your Dirt, My Microscope

I don’t guess — I look.
Our Soil Health Calculation is a deep dive into the living biology of your dirt:

Unlocking Soil Wealth

8,200+ Tests Since 2015 and counting

I’m Michael Stangl—45 years turning dirt into living soil since ‘81. Tested over 8,200 samples—soil’s secrets ain’t secrets to me. Here’s how I crack it:

  • Soil Health Calculation – Bright Field Microscopy digs deep—bacteria, fungi biomass ratio. Nematodes, Protozoa, micro arthropods and more, I spot what’s off, why your plants struggle. Commercial? Pics, vids, real talk. $125 + HST.
  • microBIOMETER® – Quick, lab-grade—microbe mass, fungal-to-bacterial ratio. Numbers fast, soil truth now. $75 + HST.
  • Epi-Fluorescence/Dark Field – Deeper microbial peek—activity, life, no guesswork. Pricing $175.00 + HST.

We’ll show you the results in plain English and recommend the right process for you.

Why It Matters

Plants don’t eat fertilizer — they rely on soil microbes to break it down and feed them.
Dump chemicals and you kill that crew. The plants starve slowly and you end up needing more bags and sprays every year. I’ve seen it for 45 years.

My way? Feed the ecosystem. Nature’s Brew wakes up the biology and rebuilds the living soil so your lawn can take care of itself.

Experience sharing:

“The workshop with Mike Stangl wasn’t just educational – it was an immersive experience in soil science. Mike generously shared his extensive knowledge, offering both theoretical insights and practical training. The hands-on microscopy tutorial and a tour of Stangl’s operations were invaluable. It’s a holistic learning journey that I highly recommend and look forward to revisiting.” Sean Smith of Crooked Farmz

Nature’s Brew

Your Monthly Living Soil Process

This is our signature all-in-one regenerative spray.
No bags. No synthetic fertilizers. No upsells on the core process.

What you get every month:

  • 7 applications (April–October) for home lawns & commercial properties

What’s really in every Nature’s Brew Application?

A typical NPK bag gives you just 3 minerals in salt form.
Our Nature’s Brew delivers dozens of minerals + natural growth compounds + living biology:
  • Nitrogen (as pure, plant-ready nitrate)
  • Phosphorus, Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium, Sulfur, Boron, Iron, Manganese, Zinc, Copper, Silicon
  • 90+ trace minerals from Sea-90 ocean minerals
  • Natural plant hormones, amino acids & alginates from kelp
  • Chitin & amino acids from squid juice
  • Carbon energy from molasses
  • Chelators from fulvic acid
  • Enzymes & prebiotics 
  • Beneficial microbes from Johnson-Su extract, LAB & BAM – LIFE!

Optional Add-Ons 

  • PUC (Pelletized Ultimate Compost) – broadcast 1–2 times per season for most clients
  • SRC Remineralizer every 3 to 4 years if needed

The Results You’ll See

  • Natural aeration and thatch breakdown
  • Stronger roots and better drought resistance
  • Fewer weeds, insects, and disease (because healthy soil doesn’t need rescue sprays)
  • A lawn that feeds itself instead of needing bag after bag
