When introduced into the growing medium, chitin acts as a food source for these microbes, encouraging their proliferation. As the microbial community thrives, it breaks down the chitin into smaller, usable compounds that plants can easily assimilate. This microbial activity enhances soil fertility and nutrient availability; it also triggers a natural immune response in plants. Recognising the presence of chitin, plants activate their defence mechanisms, fortifying themselves against potential pathogens and pests. This natural stimulation of the plant's immune system leads to healthier, more resilient growth, and increased productivity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoil Association Approved:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eEcothrive Charge has been certified for use in organic agriculture by the Soil Association\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVolume\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 teaspoon\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 tablespoon\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection id=\"shopify-section-template--22136324686110__images_with_text_scrolling_y7A69D\" class=\"shopify-section shopify-section--images-and-text-scrolling\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section  section--narrow section-blends section-full\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"images-scrolling-desktop__content-list\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"images-scrolling__content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"prose\"\u003e\n\u003cp reveal-on-scroll=\"true\"\u003eCoco Coir\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCuttings \/ Seedlings \/ Low Fertility – Mix 2-3g per Litre of coco\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEstablished Plants \/ High Fertility – Mix 4-6g per Litre of coco\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e500g of Charge treats 80-250L of coco.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor best results mix thoroughly with the coco coir before planting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFollow up with top dressings every 2-4 weeks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLast Application 5 weeks before harvest. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"images-scrolling__content opacity-0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"prose\"\u003e\n\u003cp reveal-on-scroll=\"true\"\u003ePotting Soil\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCuttings \/ Seedlings \/ Low Fertility – Mix 1-2g per Litre of Soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEstablished Plants \/ High Fertility – Mix 3-4g per Litre of Soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e500g of Charge treats 125-500L of potting soil.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor best results mix thoroughly with the potting soil before planting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFollow up with top dressings every 2-4 weeks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLast Application 5 weeks before harvest. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"images-scrolling__content opacity-0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"prose\"\u003e\n\u003cp reveal-on-scroll=\"true\"\u003eTop Dressing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePots:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e15-20L Pot - 3-6g (1-2 Teaspoons) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e50-60L Pot - 9-18g (1-2 Tablespoons)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBeds:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdd 50-100g per M2 of soil surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eScratch into the top 2-4 cm of soil\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWater after application\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eRepeat top-dress every 2-4 weeks.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"images-scrolling__content opacity-0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"prose\"\u003e\n\u003cp reveal-on-scroll=\"true\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutdoor Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAt planting or sowing: Add 250-500g per M2.
