What is Great Big Plants?
Great Big Plants is an all-natural, organic certified, liquid compost that feeds the soil vital ingredients that are missing from traditional fertilizers. Great Big Plants is all-purpose; meaning it works for all types of plants.
Healthy plants require healthy soil and it takes more than fertilizer to build healthy soil. Carbon, minor nutrients, trace minerals and beneficial microbes are all necessary for balanced, fertile soil. That is why growers for Dole Foods, Del Monte, Blue Diamond, Sunkist, Anheuser-Busch, and many others use more Great Big Plants and less fertilizer to ensure the most robust plant health possible.
Why do I need Great Big Plants?
New Plantings arrive in soil that is severely lacking in beneficial microbes, micronutrients and bio-available carbon. This significantly reduces your plants' ability to absorb nutrients and invites soil diseases. Great Big Plants inoculates your soil with beneficial microbes and provides micronutrients and bio-available carbon to the root zone for immediate plant uptake. Use Great Big Plants to minimize transplant shock, growth lag time, and new plant mortality.
Mature plants, trees and shrubs continuously consume the soil's supply of carbon and micronutrients. Untreated, this not only creates a deficiency that degrades plant health, but also upsets the soil ecology leading to poor water retention, fertilizer leaching and increased disease pressure. Use Great Big Plants to replenish your soil to ensure new growth, blossoming and hardiness.
