Microstart is an Australian-owned and family operated company run by father & son Darren and Ryan Kuchel, based in Mount Gambier, South Australia.
After working with Australian farmers locally to help organically improve soil biology and pasture health & production, Darren and Ryan are now excited to offer their biological solutions to Aussie farmers across the country.
Our goal is to help as many Australian farmers and gardeners to move away from harmful chemicals and artificial applications, so that they can grow the healthiest, most nutritious produce 100% naturally by utilizing the exciting science of biological and regenerative horticulture and agriculture.
We work closely with world renowned soil biologist Dr Mary Cole from Agpath Australia to ensure that our biological products are the highest quality they can possibly be.

What Is Biological Farming?
Biological Farming is a 100% natural way of farming and pasture management that focuses on building the essential biology required for health and self-sustaining productivity in the soil.
Where conventional farming methods are focused on attacking the symptoms of soil problems (infertility, pests, diseases, weeds etc) that continually degrade the health of the soil, biological farming focuses on correcting the root cause of soil problems by resolving imbalances in the soil biology and restoring it to normal health, rather than using the "band-aid" approach of treating symptoms.
Despite the fact that these conventional methods of farming have dominated the agriculture industry over the past 100 years, the only path to naturally healthy, productive and self-sustaining pasture is to cultivate and maintain the essential biology in your soil.
With all things being equal (rainfall, sunshine, grazing patterns etc) the right soil biology will make the difference between a compacted, weed-ridden paddock of sterile dirt and a thriving paddock of lush green feed with meters of healthy top soil.
Cultivating the right soil biology is the “hidden” half of the equation that allows your pasture to survive, grow and maintain good health without the need for any artificial inputs.
