Unlike conventional fertilizers, organic fertilizers contain complex and long nutrient molecules. These need to be broken down in the growing medium/soil before they can be taken up by plant roots. The breaking down of these large nutrient molecules is undertaken by beneficial microbes feeding off the fertilizer and compounds exuded by the plant roots to feed them. As a result, ensuring that there is a large population of beneficial microbes in the growing media is essential in organic farming. Bacteria optimized to this task are provided in very high numbers in B.O.B. Organic Microbes.

In addition to solubilizing nutrients, the plant growth promoting bacteria in Organic Microbes will also protect against environmental stress (heat, cold, drought, over-watering etc). They can also help the plant resist attack by pathogens and pests.

Organic Microbes contain a range of species and strains of beneficial microbes to ensure that there is a strain suitable for your specific growing conditions and plant variety.
