What is Alkaline Hydrolysis and how is it used in your fertilizer?

Alkaline Hydrolysis is a water-based process that uses alkaline hydrolysis to gently break down organic matter. At BARCO, we repurpose the natural byproducts of Alkaline Hydrolysis into high-quality, nutrient-rich fertilizer — creating a sustainable alternative to traditional chemical-based products.

What product lines does BARCO offer?

We currently offer three signature fertilizer blends under the OrganiGro™ line:

  • Holy Carp! – A fish-based formula made from Alkaline Hydrolysis byproduct, rich in nitrogen and trace minerals.
  • Holy Cow! – A balanced, slow-release formula ideal for general soil health and long-term fertility.
  • When Pigs Fly! – A phosphorus-forward blend great for flowering plants and root development.

Each formula is designed to meet different soil and crop needs while staying true to our sustainable values.

Is BARCO fertilizer safe for organic farming?

Yes. Our fertilizer is made from all-natural ingredients and contains no synthetic chemicals, making it a safe and effective option for organic and regenerative farming practices.
