Down To Earth Bio-Live (5-4-2)

Down To Earth Bio-Live (5-4-2) Down to Earth Bio-Live 5-4-2 is a premium, all-natural fertilizer designed to revitalize your soil and maximize plant growth. This unique blend combines nutrient-rich marine byproducts with a diverse array of beneficial microorganisms, creating a powerful synergy that enhances nutrient uptake and promotes robust root development. Bio-Live is ideal for all plant types, from vegetables and flowers to trees and shrubs, and is especially beneficial for organic gardening as it's OMRI listed.   Key Benefits: Enhanced Nutrient Uptake: The diverse blend of mycorrhizal fungi and beneficial bacteria colonize the rhizosphere (root zone) and surrounding soil, significantly improving the plant's ability to absorb essential nutrients. Humic acids derived from Leonardite further enhance micronutrient uptake.   Extensive Root Systems: Bio-Live encourages the development of expansive root systems, which are crucial for healthy growth, drought resistance, and overall plant vigor.   Increased Yields and Superior Quality: By optimizing nutrient availability and root health, Bio-Live helps plants reach their full potential, leading to increased yields and superior quality flowers, fruits, herbs, and vegetables.   Improved Soil Health: The beneficial microorganisms in Bio-Live contribute to a healthy and balanced soil ecosystem, improving soil structure and fertility over time.   Versatile Application: Bio-Live can be used for new plantings, established plants, and soil amendment in gardens, containers, and around trees and shrubs.   Ingredients and Guaranteed Analysis: Bio-Live's effectiveness comes from its carefully selected ingredients: Macronutrients: 5.0% Total Nitrogen (N) (0.4% Water Soluble Nitrogen, 4.6% Water Insoluble Nitrogen)   4.0% Available Phosphate (P2O5)   2.0% Soluble Potash (K2O) Derived From: Fish Bone Meal, Fish Meal, Feather Meal, Sulfate of Potash, Alfalfa Meal, Kelp Meal. Non-Plant Food Ingredients: 2.5% Humic Acids derived from Leonardite. Beneficial Microorganisms: Bio-Live's real power lies in its rich microbial life: Endomycorrhizal Fungi: A diverse mix of Glomus species (intraradices, mosseae, aggregatum, etunicatum, deserticola, monosporum, clarum, brasilianum) and Gigaspora margarita (725 propagules per pound total) form symbiotic relationships with plant roots, enhancing nutrient and water absorption.   Ectomycorrhizal Fungi: Rhizopogon species (villosulus, luteolus, amylopogon, fulvigleba), Pisolithus tinctorius, and Scleroderma species (cepa, citrinum) (3.5 million propagules per pound total) are particularly beneficial for trees and shrubs. Trichoderma: Trichoderma harzianum and Trichoderma koningii (12.4 million CFU per pound total) are beneficial fungi that can help suppress soilborne diseases.  Saccharomyces cerevisiae: (8.2 million CFU per pound total) a beneficial yeast that can improve nutrient availability and soil health. Beneficial Bacteria: A consortium of Bacillus species (azotoformans, coagulans, licheniformis, megaterium, pumilus) and Paenibacillus species (durum, polymyxa) help fix nitrogen, solubilize phosphorus, and promote overall soil health.   Application Instructions: Vegetable Gardens & Flower Beds: 5 lbs per 100 sq ft, mix into the top 3" of soil. For new transplants, 1-2 tbsp per hole.   Containers: ¼-½ cup per gallon of soil for new plantings, 2-4 tbsp per gallon for established plants. Or, 12.5-25 lbs per cubic yard.   Trees & Shrubs: 1-2 cups mixed with backfill soil for new plantings. Down to Earth Bio-Live 5-4-2 provides a complete and natural approach to plant nutrition, promoting healthy growth, abundant yields, and vibrant gardens.
