For most things to work well there needs to be a healthy balance. With the constant demands on our precious time, there is a delicate balance between juggling our daily responsibilities with the need for some time to relax and have fun.
But did you know that your garden also needs balance to be productive and healthy, so your plants will grow well? So today Colin is going to show you just how you can do it.
The foundation of a healthy, highly productive and disease-free garden soil is the balance between the microbes, minerals and humus within it. And now you can provide all of these in one biological complete soil and plant food… Baileys Soil Matters Garden.
Soil Matters Garden is organically enriched with blood and bone and contains humates and zeolite to improve soil structure, boost microbial activity and nutrient uptake. The new biological coating contains a custom blend of beneficial strains of Bacillus microbes that are fermented in a way to help them function more effectively in a wider range of soil and garden conditions.
These microbes help plants by making nitrogen and phosphorus more available in the soil improving plant vigour and root growth. And they increase the overall number of beneficial bacteria in the soil to help improve resistance to pests and diseases. These microbes also stimulate the roots to interact with beneficial soil fungi to further increase water and nutrient uptake to the plant.
Soil Matters Garden is ideal when planting new plants as it contains a completely balanced supply of minerals. These include the essential major nutrients including Nitrogen, Phosphorous and Potassium along with trace elements vital for healthy blooms, root growth and food production.
For established garden beds and plants simply apply a handful of Soil Matters Garden per square metre every 6-8 weeks throughout the growing season. Lightly work the granules into the soil and then water them in well.
Humus is essential to the fertility of all soils and is the dark fully decomposed organic matter that cannot be broken down any further. This is vital for holding onto water and nutrients and provides the ideal environment for these beneficial microorganisms and bacteria.
When feeding vegetables and fruit trees all you need is half a handful per square metre every four weeks until harvest for strong growth and good health.
Remember for a balanced all in one way to biologically feed your plants, garden and soil at the same time, simply give them a handful of Baileys Soil Matters Garden every 1 to 2 months.
