Great Big Plants Natural Compost Extract Fertilizer, 1-Gallon
Great Big Plants Natural Compost Extract enriches ordinary garden soil to help plants grow bigger. It is designed to improve the soil where it matters most - in the plant's root zone. It flows to the root zone upon application where it begins to work right away. This all plant type formula is an all-natural, organic certified, compost extract that feeds the soil vital ingredients that are missing from traditional fertilizers. Healthy plants require healthy soil and it takes more than N-P-K fertilizer to build healthy soil. If you are using only fertilizer in your garden, you are only adding nitrogen (N), phosphorous (P) and potassium (K) to your garden soil. Great Big Plants Natural Compost Extract also contains bioavailable nitrogen and potassium, but in small amounts that won't burn plants. Just as importantly, it supplies minor and micro-nutrients, trace minerals, beneficial microbes, humic acid and kelp to build balanced, fertile soil. Humic acid helps the plant uptake micronutrients and improves the soil's carbon to nitrogen ratio, thereby helping the plant uptake nitrogen. Kelp is known to be a microbe food and a source of micronutrients and is believed to be a source of plant growth hormones such as gibberellins, cytokines and auxins. Our product has been proven to increase fertilizer availability and uptake by the plant. If using Great Big Plants Natural Compost Extract in addition to chemical fertilizers, use about half the prescribed amount of fertilizer. To use, simply add one tablespoon (1/2 ounce) of compost extract per pint of water and apply to soil around the base of the plant. One quart of this concentrate will make eight gallons, equal to 64 pint-sized, every other week feedings for medium sized plants or bushes.
