LAWN ECO-NURTURE
It’s an organic based fertiliser derived from chicken manure, paired with endomycorrhizal fungi, trichoderma – the natural defense against pathogenic fungi, nitrogen fixing bacteria and other beneficial bacteria. The product also contains humics, carbohydrates, enzymes, yeast, protein and algae extract.
In this micronised form, the product dissolves very well in water and is ready to give your plants an immediate boost of nutrients.
BENEFITS
- The chicken manure in powdered form provides your lawn with immediately available nutrients that stimulate fresh green growth.
- Eight species of endomycorrhizal fungi. Most terrestrial plants benefit from a symbiosis with these organisms. They effectively increase the volume of soil penetration of your plants by connecting their hyphae with the roots and provide them with water and minerals in exchange for sugars and protein.
- Beneficial bacteria. There is a nitrogen fixer called Azospirillum, another one called Azotobacter, and several species of Bacillus. The former are capable of fixing atmospheric nitrogen when the soil runs low on the food from the manure. The latter can help with making micronutrients from the soil more available to the plants, and also help outcompete pathogens. To top it off there are a couple species of Pseudomonas which help with the decomposition of complex organic matter and also assist in pathogen control. All of these together, additionally can promote plant growth and root development through the production of beneficial plant hormones such as cytokinins and auxins.
- Two species of Trichoderma. These guys can actually attack pathogenic fungi, which gives you another layer of defense against potential disease in your garden and lawn.
- It is designed for use on lawn, as the powder mixes well as suspension in water and readily infiltrates without leaving unsightly clumps in the lawn.
- Works well with The Goop.
