As winter recedes and the first signs of spring emerge, it’s the perfect time to prepare your garden for a season of growth and renewal. Using Effective Microorganisms (EM) can significantly enhance this transition, promoting a healthy garden environment.
1. Improve Soil Health with our Garden+ Range: Soil health is the foundation of a thriving garden. Our Garden+ range based on EM Technology, a powerful, all-natural probiotic for plants and soils, provides all the products you need to optimise soil health. Healthy Soil +, Humic + and EM1 Concentrate can be applied directly to help increase beneficial microbes, improve soil structure, and enhance nutrient availability, allowing your plants to get a strong start in spring.
2. Prepare Your Garden Beds: Before planting, it's essential to condition your soil. Incorporate compost and organic matter, then apply either Healthy Soil +, Humic + and EM1 Concentrate or a combination to aid in breaking down any remaining organic residues. This not only enriches the soil but also helps suppress pathogens, creating a balanced and fertile environment for new growth.
3. Strengthen Your Plants: Use Garden + products like Organic Plant Food + to add beneficial biology and nutrients directly to your plants. This can be applied as a foliar spray or soil drench to support plant health and resilience. Regular use of EM will help plants resist disease, encourage faster growth, and improve overall vitality. For further plant health benefits consider trying Silicon+ in your foliar mixes.
4. Manage Pests and Disease: EM products can also be effective in pest and disease management. By enhancing the microbial diversity in your garden, EM products help create a hostile environment for harmful pests and diseases, while promoting beneficial organisms that naturally control pests.
5. Boost Your Compost: If you compost garden waste, Compost + can accelerate the decomposition process, producing nutrient-rich compost more quickly. Apply at a rate of 2-3 liters per cubic meter of compost to enhance microbial activity and improve compost quality.
By incorporating EM Garden+ products into your garden care routine, you can ensure a smooth transition from winter dormancy to the vibrancy of spring. Whether you are looking to improve soil health, enhance plant growth, or manage waste more effectively, EM provides a versatile and sustainable solution.
