The last 70 years have produced huge strides in alternative agricultural technology. Hydroponics has been a stand out achiever in this field but could never be considered the perfect solution. Though crop yields and presentation improved, nutritional values and secondary qualities – taste, smell, hardiness – diminished. Bioponics™ completes the cultivation equation to recreate the nutritive conditions of the best living loams. Bioponics™ is both a stand-alone growing science, and an extension of traditional inorganic methods.

BiOMEGA®'s and Luther’s collaboration began in 1990 and led to the technology of his choice. Low-salt steeps are inadequate for aggressive annuals and high-output fruiting crops. Only a concentrate with stable organic metabolites could keep pace. Luther again demonstrated his brilliance by identifying the specific metabolite type and range preferred by such varieties in living soils. By late 1992 we had successfully trialled a commercial non-biological product that conforms to the formulation Luther considered the only bio-certain spectrum. His contention was that anything less was, in aggressive or commercial conditions, a compromise. Anything more was unnecessary to the crop or the grower’s pocket! ‘It’s about balance – you can’t just throw it all there,’ he would say, and he was right!
