Rootgrow rootfood is a natural fertiliser based on humates. Humates are recognized by soil scientists and agronomists as the most important component of a natural healthy fertile soil. They result from the breakdown of organic matter, which has been forming and reforming on our planet over millions of years. They are a form of concentrated super compost and essential to life in the soil.
Many gardens can be deficient in these natural humates and this can lead to poor plant growth and establishment, poor soil water-retention, and a depletion of beneficial micro-organisms such as friendly mycorrhizal fungi (rootgrow).
Humates work at much lower rates of application than traditional fertilisers so are better for the environment and far less likely to leach away, unlike chemical fertilisers.
