Welcome to the home of Biocast, by Island Biologicals
If you’re looking to grow plants that are full of LIFE,
from soil to seed, then you’re in the right place.
What would you like to do today?
At Island Biologicals we believe that life creates life.
Biocast supports the whole plant, including its microbiome, thanks to the life-stimulating compounds of earthworms and beneficial microbes.
As a grower it can support you to add health and vigour to your high production systems, to get plants through stressful times (such at transplant, or climate extremes), or give you a stepping stone to get off the inputs treadmill.
It is a high quality, natural biostimulant that you can feel good about applying, and that will be good for you, your family, your customers and your land.
“The health of the soil, plant, animal and man is one and indivisible”

Biocast production to stop in December
After 13 years (or so), we are ceasing production of Biocast this December. Life is having a big shake up this year. A family situation has made it necessary to sell the farm where we make Biocast. But you know what? We were ready. It’s the right move for us. And...
What moss cover is telling you

An orchestra of plants
Multi species: an analogy We harp on about using multi species in your farming setting to improve soil health and production. To help conceptualise this, we have an analogy for you: Your plants make up an orchestra. They work in concert with each other and your soil...
What’s the best seed mix to start with?
Multi species seeding. "What's the best mix to start with??" We got this question on our Facebook page in response to the great results Chris Eggert and other customers are seeing when they use Biocast primed multi species seed. See our previous post 'Seeds as a tool...
