Why Use Turbo Garden Blend in March?
Each component of Turbo Garden Blend plays a crucial role in optimising soil and plant health:
- Worm Castings (40%) – Packed with readily available nutrients, beneficial microbes, and natural growth stimulants, worm castings improve soil aeration, enhance moisture retention, and promote healthy root development.
- Humate (40%) – Derived from ancient decomposed organic matter, humate enriches soil with humic and fulvic acids, improving nutrient uptake, buffering soil pH, and stimulating microbial activity.
- Trace Elements (20%) – Essential for plant growth, trace elements like magnesium, zinc, and iron ensure plants receive a well-rounded nutritional boost, leading to healthier, more resilient crops.
How to Apply Turbo Garden Blend
- Clear and Refresh Beds – Remove spent summer crops and compost any disease-free plant material. Lightly fork over the soil to aerate it.
- Incorporate Turbo Garden Blend – Apply approximately 200 grams per square metre, mixing it evenly into the topsoil before planting.
- Boost with Additional Organic Matter – If needed, supplement with compost, aged manure, or seaweed to enhance soil fertility further.
- Mulch and Maintain – After planting, mulch with straw or compost to retain moisture and protect soil from temperature fluctuations.
