Ecothrive Soil Food

Unlock the full Potential of Ecothrive Living Soil

The Soil Food range is a premium line of organic soil amendments, expertly crafted for Ecothrive Living Soil. This powerful system includes Soil Food Grow, Soil Food Bloom, and Soil Food Re-Gen, each designed to support plants at key growth stages while promoting long-term soil health and sustainability.

Packed with vital organic nutrients and beneficial microbes, Soil Food ensures your plants receive everything they need while boosting soil life. This easy-to-use powdered top dressing simplifies soil management, making it ideal for growers using pots or soil beds. Whether you're establishing strong vegetative growth, maximising flower production, or regenerating soil between cycles, the Soil Food range makes organic growing effortless.

Soil Food Grow – Vigorous Vegetative Growth

Soil Food Grow is formulated to fuel rapid root and foliage development, delivering fast-absorbing amine nitrogen to drive strong, lush plant growth. This top-dress amendment stimulates microbial activity, ensuring a steady and balanced release of nutrients without overwhelming the soil.

By promoting healthy root and stem growth, it helps plants establish a solid structure, while its nutrient-rich composition supports overall vitality. Key ingredients like soy amino hydrolysate provide an easily available nitrogen source, mealworm frass enhances microbial life, and micronised rock phosphate encourages root expansion.

The addition of potassium sulphate and gypsum strengthens plants by supplying essential minerals such as potassium, sulphur, and calcium, ensuring they develop resilient, thriving foliage before transitioning into the flowering phase.

Soil Food Bloom – Maximise Flowering Potential

Once plants enter the flowering stage, their nutrient needs shift, requiring less nitrogen and more phosphorus and potassium to fuel bud and flower development. Soil Food Bloom is specially designed to support this phase by providing a well-balanced nutrient mix that enhances phosphorus availability, improves nutrient uptake, and ensures sustained flower production.

This formulation includes potassium lignosulphonate, which not only supplies potassium but also improves phosphorus absorption, leading to compact, dense blooms. Mealworm frass sustains microbial life, ensuring a steady release of nutrients, while gypsum and kieserite supply calcium and magnesium to maintain plant health.

Micronised rock phosphate helps to maintain phosphorus reserves, ensuring continuous and prolific flowering. With Soil Food Bloom, plants receive the precise nutrients they need for bigger, healthier, and more aromatic yields.

Soil Food Re-Gen – Recharge & Restore Soil

After harvest, Soil Food Re-Gen revitalises soil, replenishing key nutrients and microbial life to prepare it for the next growing cycle. This formulation restores soil fertility while improving soil structure and resilience, ensuring plants have the best foundation for future growth.

The inclusion of olivine, a slow-release magnesium and silicon source, strengthens plant cell walls and enhances their ability to withstand stress. Bone meal supplies nitrogen and phosphorus to balance the soil, while mealworm frass enhances microbial diversity, encouraging a thriving soil ecosystem.

Micronised rock phosphate prevents phosphorus depletion, ensuring that essential nutrients remain available for the next crop. By incorporating Soil Food Re-Gen at the end of each cycle, growers can maintain a sustainable, nutrient-rich soil environment, reducing the need for additional amendments and promoting strong, healthy plant growth from seed to harvest.

How to Use Soil Food

Soil Food is applied as a top-dress and gently worked into the top layer of soil. The following dosage guide ensures plants receive the right amount at each stage:

Smaller pots deplete nutrients faster than larger containers, so always monitor plant needs and adjust accordingly.

Calculating Soil Volume for Ecothrive Soil Food

To use Soil Food correctly, calculate your soil volume based on the recommended mixing depth:

Grow & Bloom: Mix into the top 15cm
Re-Gen: Mix into the top 20–25cm

Calculation:

1. Measure your surface area (m²).
2. Multiply by depth (0.15m for Grow & Bloom; 0.20–0.25m for Re-Gen).
3. Convert m³ to litres (multiply by 1,000).

Example:
Grow & Bloom: 2m² × 0.15m = 0.3m³ (300 litres)
Re-Gen: 2m² × 0.25m = 0.5m³ (500 litres)

Application Rates:

Grow & Bloom: 1–2g per litre
Re-Gen: 2g per litre

Follow these steps for the best results.
