It's not just a fertiliser; it's a complete biological solution. Rich in Chitin: Derived from the skin and body parts of organically fed mealworms, the Chitin in Ecothrive Charge is a crucial component that feeds beneficial microbes, particularly fungi, in the soil. When introduced into the growing medium, chitin acts as a food source for these microbes, encouraging their proliferation. As the microbial community thrives, it breaks down the chitin into smaller, usable compounds that plants can easily assimilate. This microbial activity enhances soil fertility and nutrient availability; it also triggers a natural immune response in plants. Recognising the presence of chitin, plants activate their defence mechanisms, fortifying themselves against potential pathogens and pests. This natural stimulation of the plant's immune system leads to healthier, more resilient growth, and increased productivity.Soil Association Approved: Ecothrive Charge has been certified for use in organic agriculture by the Soil Association Volume Weight 1 teaspoon 3g 1 tablespoon 9g How To use Coco Coir Cuttings / Seedlings / Low Fertility – Mix 2-3g per Litre of coco Established Plants / High Fertility – Mix 4-6g per Litre of coco 500g of Charge treats 80-250L of coco.
