Product FAQ's

WHAT IS IT?

SOIL BOOSTER organic fertilizer is a 100% natural organic fertilizer. It is a by-product resulting from the bioconversion of agro-industrial residues by the controlled action of the insect Hermetia illuscens, in an economic circularity process. It is a product rich in organic matter and nutritionally balanced, containing plants' main macro and micronutrients.

WHAT IS IT USED FOR?

SOIL BOOSTER organic fertilizer feeds the potting soil replenishing it with the nutrients most important for the plants. Its high organic matter content improves the structure of the potting soil, maintaining good water retention capacity and adequate aeration. It also has a positive effect on the natural defense of plants.

WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?

SOIL BOOSTER organic fertilizer is a loose dry mix, dark brown with a tendentially sweet odor, with some notes of acidity, sometimes ureic. As a by-product of a bioproduction process in a circular economy, its appearance and smell may vary between batches. This in no way compromises its effectiveness.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Its composition, rich in humic and fulvic acids, promotes a balanced microbiological activity that converts the nutrients contained in organic matter into accessible forms for plants over time, following the needs of the plants. Its organic nature is directly responsible for maintaining the good physical structure of the potting soil, favoring a good water retention capacity and adequate aeration.

There is evidence that the chitin residues contained in SOIL BOOSTER organic fertilizer also trigger a response on the part of the plant, stimulating some of its natural defenses. It is assumed that the presence of chitin, a natural polymer present in the body of some insects, is perceived as a threat by the plant.

HOW SHOULD I APPLY IT?

The organic fertilizer SOIL BOOSTER must be spread over the surface of the potting soil, around the plant, and involved with the help of a small shovel or a rake.

Given the natural variability of SOIL BOOSTER organic fertilizer, sometimes more powdery, it is recommended to use a mask when applying it to people more sensitive to dust.

WHAT IS THE RECOMMENDED DOSE?

The recommended dose for SOIL BOOSTER organic fertilizer varies with pot size and uncovered potting soil surface area. It is recommended to cover all exposed potting soil surfaces with a thin layer (0.5 cm).

HOW FREQUENTLY SHOULD I APPLY IT?

Maintenance application: Quarterly

Recovery application: Whenever there is a degradation of the potting soil, recognizable by the dry, grossly loose, and crumbled appearance of the potting soil that does not recover after hydration.

WHAT IS ITS YIELD?

Each 1000 ml pack of SOIL BOOSTER organic fertilizer applied as recommended for maintenance will be enough to use on five medium plants (pots with diameters from 12 to 15 cm) for approximately 12 months.

WHAT SHOULD I KNOW BEFORE USING IT?

Being a natural product rich in organic matter, SOIL BOOSTER organic fertilizer can accumulate an intense odor when closed in the packaging. This odor dissipates quickly and poses no risk to the health of people and animals.

SOIL BOOSTER organic fertilizer can show the formation of a thin white fungus that is quickly incorporated into the fertilizer when it is stirred. This is a consequence of nature rich in organic matter and reveals the valuable microbiological activity that occurs in SOIL BOOSTER organic fertilizer. This fungus does not represent any danger to the health of people, animals, and plants.

DOES IT PRESENT RISKS TO PEOPLE OR ANIMALS?

When applied as recommended SOIL BOOSTER organic fertilizer poses no risk to people and animals.

DOES IT PRESENT A RISK TO THE ENVIRONMENT?

When applied as recommended, SOIL BOOSTER organic fertilizer poses no environmental risk.

HOW SHOULD I STORE IT?

Keep SOIL BOOSTER organic fertilizer in its original packaging in a dry place.

WHAT MAKES IT A SUSTAINABLE PRODUCT?

Each pack of SOIL BOOSTER organic fertilizer contains a product resulting from a bioprocess in a circular economy, which transforms agro-industry waste, some with a considerable ecological footprint, such as olive pomace, into a balanced product ready to restore plants nutrients to new plants.

The use of SOIL BOOSTER organic fertilizer contributes to a well-structured potting soil. A well-structured potting soil guarantees good water and nutrient retention, increasing the efficiency of water use and preventing nutrient loss carried over by irrigation water.

Its cardboard packaging, with a bio-compostable bag, reduces its environmental impact.

Its use maintains the nutrient-rich and well-structured potting soil, prolonging the healthy life of the plants. Each living plant extends the usefulness of the many resources used in plant production.
