The soil is rich, but the plants are poor?
Some soils may be rich in nutrients, but if
the soil is very compact (for instance clay), plants can’t
absorb them easily. If that is the case where you live, you
need to enhance the soil with special enzymes.
You can use enzymes with regular soils, too,
if you simply want bigger and healthier plants.
What are enzymes and
how can they help your plants?
Enzymes are natural, non-toxic and non-polluting
proteins that enable or speed up biochemical reactions. Reactions
that would normally take years to complete, can take place
in seconds! Enzymes tend to be highly specialized, each being
responsible for only one type of reaction.
In the past, enzymes for the agricultural industry
used to be extracted from the pancreas of slaughtered animals.
Nowadays, due to increased demand, this cruel practice has
been replaced by breeding special bacteria cultures that are
safe for humans, animals and plants, and can form desired
enzymes in large quantities. The enzymes are separated from
the bacteria before inclusion in soil enhancing products.
Enzymes in soil enhancing and plant growing
products loosen up the soil and break down the nutrients found
in it so it’s easier for the plants to reach and absorb
them.
Products that contain enzymes work particularly
well in the presence of water, so the best time to apply enzymes
to the soil is either just before you water the plants or
while you are watering them. You can apply both the enzymes
and water simultaneously by combining them in a watering can,
or using a special spray nozzle to attach a bottle with enzymes
to a garden hose.
Enzyme-based soil enhancers can be used for
all kinds of plants: potted flowers and herbs, flower and
vegetable gardens, fruit and ornamental shrubs and trees,
lawns, you name it.
And it’s great to know that it’s
safe to eat fruit and veggies even from a freshly sprayed
garden!
WARNING: Allergies to enzymes are rare,
but if you are allergic, then, obviously, enzyme-based products
are NOT recommended.
