The cold weather has arrived, and while many gardeners will already have seedlings on the go, you can harness the power of Mycorrhizal fungi and other beneficial biologicals along with fulvic acid in your garden to produce nutritionally dense winter veggies.
In this blog, we want to talk about using Rootella, Mycorrhizal fungi and Superzyme for your seedlings and transplants to give them the best possible start, and Mobilizer, fulvic acid, to ensure your growing winter vegetables have access to nutrients and resilience in the face of changing weather conditions.
🥬 Fulvic Acid – Mobilizer – what is this essential molecule?
Fulvic acid is a natural organic compound which continues through evolution on Earth. It is one of the best, and most essential substances to encourage healthy plant growth. A biostimulant and plant electrolyte, Fulvic acid improves nutrient uptake, nutrient efficiency and overall plant health.
Fulvic Acid has chemical properties that allow plants to absorb more nutrients and increase water storage capacity within the plant. This translates physically into faster growing, stronger, more robust plants that are juicy and plump, and able to withstand weather fluctuations with improved disease resilience.
Our fulvic acid product is called Mobilizer and it literally mobilises minerals to ensure your plants have unhindered access to nutrients. This in turn means that the winter vegetables, and indeed all the produce you are growing will be more nutrient dense, nourishing and truly health-giving in warm family winter soups.
🍄 Rootella, Mycorrhizal fungi and Superzyme
Adding Rootella, Mycorrhizal fungi and other beneficial organisms, such as those found in Superzyme, will give your winter vegetables a better chance of survival and protection from a wide range of diseases.
How does this process work? Mycorrhizal fungi are naturally occurring organisms in healthy, fertile soil. Unfortunately, many soils are not as healthy or as fertile as they could be, or used to be, the natural mycorrhizal populations are either very low or even non-existent. Mycorrhizal fungi populations can be impacted by various factors including chemical inputs especially fungicides, over tillage and even too much synthetic phosphorus fertiliser.
These amazing fungi can be added back into the ecosystem of your garden through an application of Rootella. Rootella contains endomycorrhizal fungi and these fungi penetrate plant roots and effectively extend the root reach with the cobweb type hyphae they send out deep into the soil. This extra reach gives your winter vegetables and all growing plants better access to minerals and water. This symbiotic relationship between plant and fungi also offers protection from pathogens which might otherwise gain the upper hand over your growing winter vegetables.
Did you know:
- Rootella contains the highest propagules of Mycorrhizal fungi on the market
- The organisms in Rootella are native to New Zealand
- Glomalin, a substance secreted by Mycorrhizal fungi, is where Carbon Dioxide ( CO2 ) is stored in the earth, so not only would you be helping your garden and the health of your family, but the environment too.
🦠Superzyme – Beneficial Bacteria and Fungi
Soil is a living entity and healthy soil should be teeming with a complex ecosystem of worms, fungi, bacteria, and other microorganisms. Plants will not thrive in lifeless soil and this is where Superzyme comes in. Superzyme is an organic soil amendment that contains a proper ratio of specific beneficial bacteria and fungi to maintain the delicate balance of your soil’s microflora and fauna.
The four species of both beneficial bacteria and fungi found in Superzyme will promote germination and root development as well as acting as a biological shield in the soil root area, reducing the risk of harmful soil-borne pathogens.
With the combined impact of Superzyme and Rootella, the beneficial organisms in your soil can proliferate through improved soil structure, repopulating probiotic bacteria, and more. The benefits to your winter vegetables and all your produce include more nutrient-dense food, and greater disease resistance, all for a healthier you.
Consider adding these incredible biological organisms along with Mobilizer, Fulvic Acid to your winter vegetable garden for delicious and nutritious vegetables throughout the season.
