HOT TIP: Activate before use
To maximise immediate benefits and help prevent temporary nutrient tie-up, pre-load the porous biochar with nutrients before applying it to soil.
Use a high-quality liquid fertiliser, such as an all-purpose biofertiliser or liquid fish product. Contact the Terix team for guidance on preparing the nutrient mix for your application.
