End transplant shock, promote nutrient and water uptake, grow healthier plants with Big Foot Granular! It is a must have for gardening in Florida’s heat. Big Foot Granular has a unique advantage when it comes to soil amendments as it contains endomychorrizae, biochar, kelp, worm castings and humic acid providing the essential building blocks for plant growth.
Apply directly to roots to create a fungi and microbe rich soil food web for your plant to thrive in. Roots establish quicker and your plants grow faster with better yields and healthier soil.
This Granular formula is full of viable Endo-Mycorrhizae – no fillers!
Big Foot Mycorrhizae with Organic Fertilizer can be a valuable tool for establishing and growing healthy native plants, and here's why:
1. Enhanced Nutrient Uptake: Mycorrhizal fungi form a symbiotic relationship with plant roots, extending the root system's reach and increasing its surface area. This drastically improves the plant's ability to absorb essential nutrients, especially phosphorus, which can be less available in Florida's sandy soils.
2. Improved Water Absorption: The fungal network also helps plants access and retain water more efficiently. This is particularly beneficial in Florida's climate, which can experience periods of drought. Drought stress can be a significant challenge for newly planted natives, and mycorrhizae can help them become established more quickly.
3. Increased Stress Tolerance: By improving nutrient and water uptake, mycorrhizae help plants better withstand environmental stressors like heat, drought, and even transplant shock. This is crucial for native plants as they adapt to their new environment in your landscape.
4. Healthier Soil: The organic fertilizer component of the product provides essential nutrients and promotes beneficial microbial activity in the soil. This creates a healthy soil ecosystem that supports the growth of native plants and enhances their long-term health.
5. Reduced Need for Chemical Fertilizers: Since mycorrhizae improve nutrient uptake, you may find that your native plants require less frequent applications of chemical fertilizers, which can be harmful to the environment.
Specifically for Native Plants:
Adaptation to Lean Soils: Many Florida native plants are adapted to nutrient-poor soils. Mycorrhizae can help them thrive even in these conditions by maximizing nutrient extraction.
Competition with Invasive Species: By giving native plants a "boost," mycorrhizae can help them outcompete invasive species, which often have aggressive root systems.
Ecosystem Support: Mycorrhizae play a vital role in natural ecosystems, facilitating communication and nutrient exchange between plants. Using this product can help you create a more balanced and resilient native plant community in your landscape.
How to use:
Big Foot Granular must make direct contact with the roots of the plant – if you are looking for a water-in application see our Concentrate or Gold.
Spread Granular evenly around the bottom and sides of the planting hole. Ensure thorough coverage of product to maximize root contact.
Planting: Sprinkle ¼ tbsp of granular around the planting hole. Place plant into the planting hold and backfill with soil.
