What is energized carbon?
It is our proprietary process where we use carbon, instead of salt, as the "truck" to bring energy to the plant. Read more >
Why use your products?
Our products introduce a high-energy carbon/oxygen food source that balances nitrogen levels for efficient uptake of already-present nutrients. Read more >
Why Charged Carbon?
Carbon is the most essential element for life on earth. Carbon is the "C" in C - H - O (Sugar) which is the primary component of all plants and the only three elements not toxic to any plant life. Unlike ordinary carbon sources - compost, peat, etc., our products contains charged carbon, which produces more rapid results for sugar production through enhanced microbial activity.
What is the difference in your products than others?
Our products are all natural products which duplicate and enhances Mother Nature normal processes. Read more >
Are your products compatible with other products?
Most definitely. That is one of the many perks of our products.
How do your products work?
Our products uses energized carbon and oxygen to replenish the carbon/oxygen-based diet all plants need for maximizing production. Putting charged carbon back into our soils detoxifies in the soil, reducing salts and harmful chemicals, which allows maximum root penetration and water/nutrient uptake during the growth of the plant. With this addition carbon and oxygen, the root system develops more rapidly and improves the plant's ability to uptake water and nutrients, thereby enhancing the plant's ability to make sugar. This increased sugar flow maximizes plant health and yield.
Do your products require mixing before use?
Most of our products should be mixed well before use.
Does your products require mixing with water before use?
Most definitely! Actually the more water applied with our product the better! But we realize most growers do not like to "haul" water so we recommend a minimum 10-1 ratio (10 gallons of water to 1 gallon of product) for most of our agricultural products. Check with your product specialist or our Product Guides for the correct mix and application times.
Can I mix your products with other fertilizers and nutrients?
Our products are compatible with many products, however, to be sure, we recommend a simple jar test to be sure and/or check with your product specialist.
Should I still use traditional fertilizer?
Yes. Our testing and crop trials show the best results were obtained when growers reduced their fertilizer input 10-40% when using our products. We recommend applying a reduced rate of traditional dry fertilizer since our products, through its highly charged content, will bring enhanced microbial activity and increased water/nutrient uptake through a larger root system. This allows nutrients that are already present, to be more readily available, therefore reducing the need to use as much. With this much enhanced plant environment, you will achieve greater utilization of the nutrients already in your soil profile.
Doesn't fertilizer contain salt?
Yes, the basic element of synthetic fertilizer is salt. That's why we ask that you reduce your synthetic fertilizer (commercial fertilizer -NPK) so our products does not have to use its "energy" reducing more salt.
Doesn't your products reduce salts in the soil?
Absolutely! Our product RESTORE™ contains microbes that consume salt as their diet which when applied to the soil, will help to lower the salinity of your soil. But, once again, we ask that you reduce your use of commercial fertilizer by at least 10% or more to help reduce the salt content as well. Our products do not contain salt and will deliver the same energy naturally with carbon and oxygen and leaves no side effects.
How are your products applied?
Our product can be injected directly into your existing irrigation system via drip tube, micro-jet, sprinklers, or pivot. They can also be applied foliar with any spray equipment including herbicide booms, spray booms, speed sprayers, and helicopters or airplanes.
Should your products be applied to the soil or foliar?
RESTORE™ is applied as a soil solution and BALANCE™ is applied foliar. Both products "energizes" water by lowering the pH, which in turn, greatly stimulates microbial activity and root development. Normally it is recommended that RESTORE be applied directly to the soil profile at time of planting and emergence to achieve maximum initial results, then BALANCE be applied at "flowering" & "bulking" (max. energy need) to maximize crop production and yield. However, each crop has specific needs at different times and following our crop guides would be most beneficial.
Are there specific times to use your product or not?
Yes, we utilize different products at different times - normally our products are used at these plant timings:
- Planting - Use RESTORE™
- Emergence - Use RESTORE™
- Pre-bloom - Use RESTORE™
- Bloom - Use BALANCE™
- Fruit Set - USE BALANCE™
- Fruit Fill - USE BALANCE™
- Fall Energy Storage - USE RESTORE™
- Soil and irrigation treatment, remediation - USE RESTORE™
Consult our Crop Guides for more accurate rates and applications.
How are your products packaged and sold?
All of our products are sold by the gallon and are delivered in a container called Mini Bulk Tote - a four foot cube with a capacity of 250 - 275 gallons. Our totes contain 250 gallons.
Are your products expensive?
Our products cost much less than you might think. Many have told us that our products are under-priced based on the results they have achieve and the monies saved. As with most bulk products, significant price discounts are available by volume purchasing and "drop-shipments" to your site. We encourage you to contact us for your individual price. Don't forget, by reducing your input costs for traditional dry fertilizer applications, significant cost savings will be realized as well as product application expenses when our product is injected right into the irrigation system versus hauling and spraying.
Why don't you show any prices on your web site?
Our web site has been designed to show you the types of products produced and available by Carbon Works, Inc. Our independently owned and operated Dealers establish prices of our products and so we are not able to make them available on our web site. If you are interested in the prices of our products, please contact your nearest Authorized Carbon Works™ Dealer. A list of these Dealers can be found through our Dealer Locator.

If your local Dealer requires assistance on tracking your order, please have them contact their Carbon Works™ Customer Service Representative.
Can I be directed to a store that carries Carbon Works™ products?
Our products are packaged in large 250 gallon totes and designed for larger applications than most retail stores have the room or equipment to handle. If you are interested in a particular Carbon Works™ product, please feel free to contact us through our Contact Us page. We will be happy to have one of our Carbon Works™ Sales Representatives assist you in finding a Dealer that handles the products you are looking for.
