How to use Ecothrive Soil Food Grow
For established indoor plants, Ecothrive recommends applying 1 to 2g per litre of soil, calculated using the soil volume in approximately the top 15cm of the pot or bed.
- Measure the required amount.
- Spread it evenly across the soil surface.
- Lightly scratch it into the top 2 to 4cm.
- Water after application.
When should you apply Soil Food Grow?
Soil Food Grow is intended for established plants during the vegetative stage and into the transition period before flowering. Timing depends on plant size, soil volume, cycle length and how much nutrition remains in the growing medium.
Outdoor application
For established plants in garden or field soil, apply approximately 100 to 200g per square metre, lightly work it into the top 2 to 4cm and water after application. Repeat approximately every 4 to 6 weeks when required.
Soil Food Grow, Bloom and Re-Gen explained
- Soil Food Grow: replenishes nutrition during vegetative growth.
- Soil Food Bloom: used as plants enter flowering and fruiting.
- Soil Food Re-Gen: used after harvest to restore depleted living soil.
Contains animal-derived ingredients
Ecothrive Soil Food Grow contains mealworm frass as part of the Ecothrive Charge component. Growers specifically seeking a vegan or entirely plant-derived amendment should be aware of this.
The NPK Gardening Solutions take
Soil Food Grow makes most sense when living soil needs topping back up during a longer vegetative period or when container size means the original nutrient reserve is being used relatively quickly. Use it when the soil needs replenishment rather than automatically adding it at every watering.
