EARTH RIGHT PRODUCTS IMPROVE HEALTH OF PLANTS IN CONTAINERS & SEEDLING GROWTH!
Next year begins our 30 year relationship with Toby Tobin. We love Toby because he tests everything himself and only advises you to use a product or service he really believes in. And we are grateful that he has gotten our message out to you all of these years.
Why should we use Earth Right in containers?
Earth Right Super Stuff opens clay layers in soil. Most of this know about this. But did you know that it help keep the soil in containers from being compacted? Or that if there are roots that are bound up it will help loosen those to reduce stress? That is right! Using Earth Right twice a year in containers is very helpful as long as the container is glazed inside if it is made of clay. Using it one month before you transplant anything also helps relieve root bound conditions that can occur in containers. That way when you do transplant to a larger container you reduce the risk of transplant shock. Remember when planting or transplanting in a container or in the ground to use The Mushroom Stuff to establish roots quickly at the time of planting and several times throughout the year that follows. It only takes a tiny amount to do the job!
Once you have established the roots, you may want to fertilize monthly indoors with Sure Bloom Natural (light feeders) or Sure Bloom 6-7-6 (heavier feeders). The really nice thing about these two products is that they will not leave a white, salty residue in the containers or garden beds. The plants really don’t love that. And when you are growing herbs Sure Bloom Natural is the best! Just use 1- 2 oz of either product in every gallon of water. You should just use enough of the mix to water as you normally would when you just water. You can save what you don’t use for the next month. I like to use Mushroom Stuff every so often instead to keep the roots happy. Happy roots make healthy plants and produce blooms on those plants that bloom. Sure Bloom sets the blooms.
SEEDLINGS DO BETTER USING EARTH RIGHT PRODUCTS!
I like to get my seedlings going in February or March. I use a little RTU sprayer, like I do with my laundry stain sprays. I mix 1 oz of Earth Right into 1 QT of water. Then I lightly spray all the mix in the seed trays. Then I water over that and this establishes the microbes in the potting mix. Once that dries out you can plant your seeds and then water as you normally would. When the seedlings come up 1/2 to 1 inch, mix Mushroom Stuff into a RTU spray bottle at the rate of 1 oz per quart. Spray just the top of the soil, not the seedlings and water in lightly. You will be surprised at how long and thick your roots grow very quickly. I actually had on plant that busted through the bottom of the seed tray! The Mushroom Stuff will make your roots grow bigger more quickly. This is an advantage in fall for getting them ready to plant outside … you never know when you we will get an early freeze! Not only will it benefit the lawn, but it will also benefit plants, shrubs and trees. Even if it looks like you have lost a plant, or lots of limbs, or shrubs appear to be damaged, the roots are protected and you have a much better chance of not losing the entire in your landscape or beds.
This is an example of a root from a seed tray. Seeds were planted in the basement with no special lighting and this is at 6.5 weeks. As you can see using a combination of Earth Right and Mushroom Stuff roots grow long and deep and big very quickly.
Use Mushroom Stuff to get big roots quickly … because here in KC you never know what the weather will bring.
