The soil is alive with biology like an army with many types of microbes doing different jobs. Research has pointed out that in order to thrive, these tiny creatures require a pre-biotic, carbon diet. Pre-biotic carbon supports the biology in transforming mineral and nutrient compounds into available plant nutrition. The growing cycle is an ideal time for a foliar application to balance out the soil conditions and stimulate root growth. Growth Plus/Instant Compost Tea also provides great foliar protection and a healthy energy boost. These products are formulated using the proper balance of pro-biotics, fertilizer and bio-stimulants to trigger a growth response, causing roots to grow more filaments. This action allows the plant to tap into a new dimension of fertility and more efficiently absorb nutrients. This process helps to create a nutrient dense high quality harvest which is highly marketable and economical to produce. For additional carbon and nitrogen fixers we recommend Fish Alive/SeaStar.
