Bio-Compost is an environmentally friendly natural compost with high water retention and unique microbial enhancers to stimulate and enhance plant growth.
It comes as dried out coins, which expand when added to water to provide a natural multi-use compost with a rich blend of Coir-pith, bio-stimulants, and microbial soil enhancers.
Coir pith is the coconut husk after the fibre has been removed from the coconut. Coir pith has exceptional water retention properties and its high lignin content results in a very slow rate decomposition thus ensuring a long life soil conditioner.
Bio-stimulants are materials that promote plant growth by stimulating hormonal activity. This activity is essential for root formation, cell division, and plant health and stress tolerance.
Microbial enhancers are naturally occurring microbes that augment existing microbes present in the soil and provide it with organic matter. Soil, then becomes more fertile and plants can absorb balanced nutrients which in turn, makes them more healthy.
Combined together these create a unique eco-friendly Bio-compost which:
Increases crop yield.
Stimulates plant growth.
Retains water in dry conditions.
Suppresses heat stress and frost damage.
Enhances root formation.
Stimulates plant enzymes and hormones.
Enhances seed germination.
Improves plant resistance to disease.
Usage
Coins are ideal for growing seedlings, 1-3 seedlings can be placed in the centre of 2 coins
in a tray ad 1/2 inch of water added. Top up as required.
Other Uses
Hanging Baskets: Excellent long life water retention reduces drying out in summer and produces vibrant plants displays. Use Bio-compost alone or with a 50:50 mix with other compost.
Garden Annuals: Bio-compost retains moisture, slowly releases fertiliser, promotes growth and protects against frost stress. Dig a handful of bio-compost around the roots of annuals; double the amount for perennials.
Shrubs and Young Trees: Bio-compost is ideal for strengthening roots and promoting growth. The need for watering is reduced and seedlings have a protective mulch to help against drought conditions. Drop 2/3 disks in the planting hole; add 2-3 litres of water and backfill the hole with soil.
Soil Conditioner: In heavy clay, hard or sandy soil, texture can be improved by incorporating Bio-compost into the soil. Add as required to produce a crumbly, easily broken up soil for improved gardening.
Vegetables and Fruits: Bio-compost improves yields, plant growth and disease resistance. Use Bio-compost alone or mix 50:50 with soil.
Lawns: Bio-compost retains water to keep surface roots moist and reduce stress. Its antioxidant properties help to create a healthy green lawn. Scatter dry or prepared Bio-compost across the lawn, rake in and water as appropriate.
General Use: Use Bio-compost as general multipurpose compost either alone or mixed with other organic composts, loam or sharp sand.
