Good Bacteria

• Just like us, plants need good bacteria in their diet especially when planting plants in pots.
• To promote good microbe levels we strong recommend Bactivate, which will provide an extra 30% moisture retention around the root zone.
• A handful of Bactivate best applied to the base of the hole for the plant so that the microbes attach themselves to the roots, protect and promote healthy growth.
