Omni BIO™
The life of Omni Infinity Media®
BIO™ is the biological engine of Omni Infinity Media — a probiotic top dressing designed to introduce life where none exists. BIO brings the essential building blocks of soil development, including more than 1,500 species of microbes, initiating the natural processes that transform inert rock into thriving soil ecosystems.
Key Benefits
Introduces life: establishes microbial communities that enable soil ecosystem development.
Drives soil formation: Initiates the natural biological processes that create living soil horizons.
Supports long-term plant health: Encourages rapid establishment after seed germination or live planting and cycles nutrients for plant availability.
Works in extreme environments: Enables ecosystem development in hostile growing conditions.
Efficient & effective: Applied in a thin layer to activate a full soil profile below.
Shelf stable: deliver year-round; store like other materials.
Sustainably American Made: 100% peat free.

From Rock to Living Soil
BIO doesn’t just support plants—it creates the conditions for soil to exist. By introducing intentional biology and enabling ecosystem processes, BIO activates soil formation in even the most extreme environments and transforms mineral aggregate into living soil.
Designed to Work with GEO
BIO works in partnership with GEO to create Omni Infinity Media. GEO provides the structural and hydrological foundation, while BIO delivers the biological systems that bring the media to life. Applied at just ¼-inch depth over GEO, it forms a living surface layer that supports seed germination, root development, and microbial colonization. Within weeks of installation, BIO begins forming a biotic crust. Over time, plant roots and fungal networks develop a stable biomantle—converting sterile aggregate into functioning living soil. Together, BIO and GEO rapidly form resilient, self-sustaining soil ecosystems capable of supporting diverse landscapes.
Current Applications
BIO helps Omni Infinity Media perform across extensive green roofs, intensive green roofs, bioswales and bioretention stormwater management, planters and tree pits (including suspended pavement), and brownfields and other challenging, constrained sites where lightweight, clean growth media is required.
Emerging Applications
Looking ahead, evidence indicates BIO + GEO may support emerging applications in pollution abatement/bioremediation, pollution control/biofiltration, and land restoration through biocolonization and biocrust formation, as well as possible improvements in compost, biosolids compost, and nursery production.
