Ecothrive Soil Food Re-Gen is an organic powdered soil amendment designed to restore depleted living soil after harvest, replenishing nutrients and minerals so the growing medium can be prepared for another crop.
Unlike Soil Food Grow and Bloom, Re-Gen is primarily a between-cycles product. It is mixed back into used soil after harvest to rebuild the nutrient reserve before the next planting.
Key features
- Designed for soil reuse: restores depleted living soil before the next crop.
- Medium and long-release nutrition: provides nutrients and minerals intended to support the next growing cycle.
- Olivine-based mineral support: provides a gradual source of magnesium and silicon.
- Contains bone meal: provides slow-release nitrogen and phosphorus.
- Contains Ecothrive Charge: mealworm frass supports the biological character of the growing medium.
- Contains micronised rock phosphate: helps replenish phosphorus reserves.
Typical nutrient analysis
- Nitrogen (N): 3.5%
- Phosphorus (P2O5): 5.5%
- Potassium (K2O): 3.5%
- Calcium: 10%
- Magnesium: 1%
- Sulphur: 4%
How to use Ecothrive Soil Food Re-Gen
For indoor growing, use approximately 2 to 4g per litre of soil.
- 2g per litre: use when plants showed only minimal fading or nutrient depletion toward the end of the previous cycle.
- 4g per litre: use when the previous crop noticeably depleted the soil.
For larger containers and beds, calculate the application rate using approximately the top 20 to 25cm of soil and blend Re-Gen thoroughly through this upper layer.
For pots up to approximately 25 litres, empty the soil and mix the required quantity thoroughly through the growing medium before returning it to the container.
Outdoor application
For depleted garden or field soil, apply approximately 400 to 600g per square metre, work it into the top 20 to 25cm and water after application.
Why reuse living soil?
A properly managed living soil is designed to be reused rather than treated as disposable growing media. Re-amending allows the grower to replace what has been consumed while retaining the established soil structure and biological community.
Soil Food Grow, Bloom and Re-Gen explained
- Soil Food Grow: replenishes nutrition during vegetative growth.
- Soil Food Bloom: supports the flowering and fruiting stage.
- Soil Food Re-Gen: restores depleted soil after harvest and prepares it for reuse.
Contains animal-derived ingredients
Ecothrive Soil Food Re-Gen contains bone meal and mealworm frass. Growers specifically seeking a plant-based or vegan amendment should be aware that the product contains animal-derived inputs.
The NPK Gardening Solutions take
Re-Gen is not another additive to use throughout the crop. Its job is to make reusing living soil practical. If you have invested in a large pot or bed, it gives you a measured way of putting nutrients and minerals back without replacing the whole substrate.
Choose Ecothrive Soil Food Re-Gen if you want to restore used living soil between crops and prepare it for another growing cycle.
