I am concerned that a one-size-fits-all approach could introduce in invasive species to regions that don't have them.

What steps are you taking to prevent damaging existing ecosystems with your products?

The types of microbes used in our products naturally occur in the soil. Our products pass through the required registration processes to ensure safety.

Yes, but which soil and sourced from where? This is an insufficient answer to the question "will our selection of microbes destroy existing biomes?"
