It’s no secret that for a garden to flourish, it needs great soil. But how do you ensure your soil stacks up? The answer is organic plant food and it’s time to embrace it for your garden.

But first, what exactly is organic plant food? Many people assume plant foods are all the same, but organic varieties pack a lot of punch. Scotts Organic Plant Food is a rich blend of essential nutrients designed to enrich your soil, promote plant health and grow nutritionally rich produce. It’s made with the good stuff and is certified for organic gardens.

Provides goodness for growth!

In the same way that organic food has health benefits for us, organic plant food is the bee’s knees for garden flora.

Made with natural and organic plant fertilisers like fish, humic acid and seaweed, Scotts new Organic Plant Food Concentrate is brimming with essential minerals, protein and amino acids that provide a host of benefits to plants. It encourages robust root systems, strengthens plants against heat, drought and frost, and promotes stronger growth and more luscious foliage.

From herbs and natives, fruit to veggies, it’s the goodness your garden needs for happier, healthier and stronger plants.

Nourishes soil

We’ve touched on the fact that organic plant food plays an important role in the quality of soil. But how does it do it exactly?

The beauty lies in the way organic fertilisers work with nature to feed and nourish your plants over time. As soil-based microorganisms break down the organic matter in plant food, nutrients are gradually released and absorbed by the plants over a long period. Because the nutrients are available to plants continuously, they sustain a crop for longer.

Not only do microbes release the nutrients like potassium and nitrogen that plants need to grow, but they’re also the answer to a healthy soil structure that retains more water and beneficial minerals and gives plants the support they need as they grow. Robust soil also means less erosion and greater biodiversity in your plant patches.

So do your plants a favour and make their next feed organic.

Helps grow yummy veggies!

If you want loads of flavour in your homegrown veggies and herbs with minimal environmental impact, organic plant food is a must-have ingredient in your garden. Plus, it’s good to know what your family is eating!

By enriching the soil with loads of nutrient-rich matter, organic fertilisers like Scotts new Organic Plant Food Concentrate helps grow tough plants with excellent nutrient uptake. The more goodness your plants absorb, the more flavoursome your homegrown veggies will be.

Trust us, spring salads never tasted so good!

It’s the more sustainable option

There’s a lot of buzz around the team ‘sustainable gardening’ in Australia and with good reason. It refers to growing plants in a way that conserves resources and minimises environmental impacts. And if you’re ready to embrace it, switching to organic plant food should be one of your first steps.

As mentioned earlier, organic plant food uses ingredients that improve the soil without depleting it. It fully supports a healthy, balanced garden ecosystem without the need for chemical interference.

Eco-awareness doesn’t end with the ingredients either. Many sustainable products like Scotts Organic Plant Food are packaged with less plastic to minimise the environmental impact of waste.
