Good 4 Plants
GOOD-4 PLANTS has the ideal combination of soluble seaweed, humic, and fulvic extracts to rejuvenate struggling plants and maintain vitality in healthy ones.
GOOD-4 ensures better seed germination, low transplant mortality, quick recovery from transplant shock, faster and more dense root development, and accelerated growth.
GOOD-4 is a great amendment for COMPOST TEA, FLOWERS, FRUIT, GREENHOUSES, TRANSPLANTS, TREES, TURF, and VEGETABLES
GOOD-4 Compost Tea has the ideal combination of soluble seaweed, humic, and fulvic extracts to accelerate both bacterial and fungal proliferation.
Once introduced to the plant or soil, these extracts proffer secondary responses from both introduced (tea organisms) and indigenous soil flora and fauna.
Residual extract helps sustain tea organisms on leaf surfaces for longer protection against pathogens.
Subsequent applications of GOOD-4 Compost Tea can be made to extend survival and proliferation of both tea and indigenous organisms.
Application: Add 3 oz weight (approximately 5/8 cup, volume) per 50 gallons of tea when brewing begins, another 3 oz mid-way through the brewing process, and another 3 oz near the end of the brewing cycle. For subsequent applications, mix ½ pound per 100 gallons of water and spray leaves to point of runoff 3-7 days after initial tea application. For best results dissolve powder in 1-2 gallons of warm water before adding to tank.
