The Rise of Terreplenish and the EES Revolution

Revolutionizing Soil Regeneration

Conceived originally by Feed Earth Now (FEN) and scaled commercially by Easy Environmental Solutions (EES), Terreplenish® regenerates soil health and decomposes food waste via its nutrient-rich, organic microbial solution.

Living microbes pull, trap, and solubilize essential nutrients for plant growth through optimal nutrient delivery. Only a fraction of popular chemical-based additives may reach a plant’s root system, the rest either dissolving or rendered inaccessible. Generated from anaerobic fermentation emitting neither heat nor gas, and validated by agronomical scientists for generating verifiable results, Terreplenish® confers a multitude of benefits on growers and producers.

✅ Fixes atmospheric nitrogen, reducing synthetic fertilizer use by up to 60 lbs./acre
✅ Releases up to 20 lbs./acre of legacy phosphorus (P₂O₅), improving nutrient availability
✅ Boosts soil water-holding by up to 125%, cutting irrigation needs up to 25%
✅ Accelerates maturity, increases yields
✅ Enhances pathogen and pest resistance, minimizing synthetic fungicide use
✅ Reduces nutrient loss through improved retention and minimized leaching
✅ Builds lasting soil fertility for sustainable yield potential
✅ Third-party validated by accredited research

These outcomes position Terreplenish® at the nexus of regenerative agriculture and circular sustainability—two once-divergent approaches now unified by a scalable, proven solution for both conventional and certified organic systems.

Certified for Organic & Regenerative Farming

As markets shift toward climate-resilient production, certification is essential. Terreplenish® meets top-tier benchmarks:

• OMRI Listed – Complies with USDA National Organic Program

• USDA Certified Biobased Product – 97% renewable, plant-based content

• CDFA Organic Input Material (OIM) – Approved for organic use in California

Whether for organic acreage or conventional fields transitioning to low-input systems, Terreplenish® makes sustainable farming immediately actionable.

Beyond Fertilizer: A Natural Defense System

A healthy soil microbiome plays a crucial role in plant defense against harmful pathogens and pests. While Terreplenish® is not a bio-fungicide, pesticide or biopesticide, its anaerobic fermentation process produces microbes that naturally suppress prevalent soil-borne and airborne plant disease.

Terreplenish®: Enhances Health, Suppresses Disease

Terreplenish® further enhances plant defense by:

✅ Disrupting pathogen cell membrane growth.
✅ Preventing spore germination and attachment to plant surfaces.
✅ Enhancing plant resilience by boosting mineral and sugar content.

Terreplenish® inhibiting pathogen development naturally proves its necessity in any producer’s Integrated Pest Management (IPM) plan to protect crops effectively.

Testimonials Fueled by Science

“It just works—everywhere I’ve tried it.”
Roy Winings has used Terreplenish® across his farm—from row crops to raised vegetable beds—and reports consistent, positive results. For him, corn treated with specifically Terreplenish® showed darker, healthier foliage and tasseling up to two weeks earlier, even under drought stress. On flowering and fruiting plants, the benefits exceeded expectations: vegetables grew larger with deeper flavor, and blooms appeared more vibrant and earlier than usual.

“Same yields, less fuel, fewer passes—Terreplenish® pays for itself.”
In one side-by-side test, a 40-acre corn plot treated by Winings with only Terreplenish®—no supplemental nitrogen—yielded 206 bushels per acre. A neighboring plot receiving 50 lbs. of traditional nitrogen and yielded 212 bushels per acre—a mere 6-bushel difference. Priced at $4, the bushel discrepancy proved negligible while the cost-savings proved exponential.

Terreplenish®: A Liquid Microbial Soil Amendment with Many Benefits for Growers

When scaled to 110 acres or more, Winings estimates Terreplenish® has saved him between $15,000 and $20,000 annually just in diesel fuel, time, and additives while discounting conventional fertilizer costs that, when priced in, reveals the magnitude of Wining’s savings: “We used to apply 3,000 gallons of ammonia at around a cost of $12,000,” he reveals. “With Terreplenish®, that has changed” delivering savings now approximating $27,000 – $32,000 per crop cycle.

These short-term cost savings cultivate a legacy of sustainability extending beyond the environmental to define what a closed-loop system resembles at scale while demonstrating how purpose-driven innovation and persistence can transform organic waste into a valuable resource, validating regenerative agriculture and circular sustainability to build a resilient global bioeconomy.

Origins of Feed Earth Now and Terreplenish®

“My journey with FEN and Terreplenish® has been a direct reflection of my core values—resilience, purpose, and responsibility to both people and the planet.”

– Founder and CEO Cathy Scratch

Prior to partnering with Easy Environmental Solutions (OTC: DUTV) in 2022, Feed Earth Now (FEN) had already established itself in the sustainable agricultural space, refining its flagship product into a certified organic plant growth accelerator. Founder and CEO Cathy Scratch likens Terreplenish® to human microbiomes that reestablish one’s immunity and reoptimize nutrient digestion; likewise, Terreplenish® revives soil health with critical minerals to revive productivity and improve nutrient solubility.

Scratch states the product concept emerged more from circumstance than commitment: Her prior consultancy work as owner and President of Green Planet Waste & Recycling Solutions, Inc., in the Chicagoland area had exposed her daily to remarkable scale of food waste designated to be landfilled, originating among hotel chains and hospitals alone. Witnessing this directly and extrapolating similar waste stream from additional segments and industries inspired Scratch to refocus her career on transforming food waste into a value-added product while diverting it from municipal landfills. Her foresight and persistence culminated in the 2011 debut of Terreplenish®, cautiously launched in small batches.

People noticed—quickly.

Retail demand, industry backing, and scientific validation soon followed. In 2014, the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity awarded Scratch and Feed Earth Now a $225,000 grant through its Food Scrap Composting Revitalization and Advancement Program (F-SCRAP).

For Scratch, this was a pivotal moment: “It was the first real validation that others saw the potential in what I was building.” The guidance of veteran agronomist Ron Doetch, Managing Partner at Solutions in the Land, LLC added further clarity: “I knew I had something real.”

With quintupled capacity to process food waste into Terreplenish®, FEN gained broader recognition, more press, and rising sales: The innovation earned accolades in both 2011 and 2013 from Cleantech Open, the world’s largest cleantech accelerator. In 2014, Scratch also received Green America’s People & Planet Award, joining 60 U.S. green businesses honored for commitments to social justice and sustainability.

Terreplenish® did not originate in a lab or a boardroom. It began with a moment of clarity—a visceral realization of food waste’s true cost. What followed defied convention and credential, but not conviction.

“Trust your instincts, even if you feel like an outsider,” Scratch reflects. “I started with no formal background in agriculture or science—just a strong belief that food waste held untapped potential. Don’t wait for permission to start. Begin where you are and let curiosity and purpose guide you. Challenges are invitations to innovate.”
