Good bacteria for Organic Growth
Unlike conventional fertilizers, organic fertilizers contain complex and long nutrient molecules. These need to be broken down in the growing medium/soil before they can be taken up by plant roots. The breaking down of these large nutrient molecules is undertaken by beneficial microbes feeding off the fertilizer and compounds exuded by the plant roots to feed them. As a result, ensuring that there is a large population of beneficial microbes in the growing media is essential in organic farming. Bacteria optimized to this task are provided in very high numbers in B.O.B. Organic Microbes.
In addition to solubilizing nutrients, the plant growth promoting bacteria in Organic Microbes will also protect against environmental stress (heat, cold, drought, over-watering etc). They can also help the plant resist attack by pathogens and pests.
Organic Microbes contain a range of species and strains of beneficial microbes to ensure that there is a strain suitable for your specific growing conditions and plant variety.
Use
Apply at 2-3ml per litre of water throughout the vegetative and flowering /fruiting periods for healthy roots and high yields.
Tips
Microbial activity(beneficial bacteria and funghi) is a key part of organic gardening, to avoid harming the soil life we avoid using fresh tap water due to the presence of chlorine. We can use filtered water, leave tap water to stand for 24 hours or a simple solution is to apply Ecothrive Neutralise to instantly dechlorinate tap water.
