Balanced and Rich Nutrient Profile: Boasting a balanced N/P/K ratio of 3.5/2.5/2, Ecothrive Charge delivers a long-term supply of organic nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium—all essential for plant growth. It also nurtures beneficial soil microbes, creating a thriving root environment and leading to healthier, more resilient plants.
Enhanced Plant Health and Yield: Ecothrive Charge invigorates your plants from the roots up, encouraging robust growth, improving root zone conditions, and leading to vigorous, high-yielding harvests. It's not just a fertiliser; it's a complete biological solution.
Rich in Chitin: Derived from the skin and body parts of organically fed mealworms, the Chitin in Ecothrive Charge is a crucial component that feeds beneficial microbes, particularly fungi, in the soil. When introduced into the growing medium, chitin acts as a food source for these microbes, encouraging their proliferation. As the microbial community thrives, it breaks down the chitin into smaller, usable compounds that plants can easily assimilate. This microbial activity enhances soil fertility and nutrient availability; it also triggers a natural immune response in plants. Recognising the presence of chitin, plants activate their defence mechanisms, fortifying themselves against potential pathogens and pests. This natural stimulation of the plant's immune system leads to healthier, more resilient growth, and increased productivity.

Ecothrive Charge is an organic, insect-derived soil conditioner that promotes the growth of strong, healthy plants. It is made from the frass (excrement), body parts and residual feedstock of mealworms and is rich in natural plant growth promoters.
Charge works by improving soil structure, enhancing root development, and boosting plant immune systems. The chitin content in Charge encourages the natural production of chitinase enzymes, which plants produce as a defence against pests and diseases. Additionally, the beneficial microorganisms in Charge help to break down organic matter into nutrients that plants can easily absorb.
The main benefits include improved plant health and vigour, enhanced root development, increased resistance to pests and diseases, better nutrient uptake, and overall higher yields.
For best results, apply Charge every four to six weeks throughout the growing season. Regular applications will ensure that your plants continually benefit from the bio-stimulant effects and improved nutrient uptake.
Yes, Charge can be used alongside other fertilisers and nutrients. It acts as a complement to your existing feeding regime by improving nutrient uptake and providing additional bio-stimulant effects.
Yes, Charge is environmentally friendly and safe for use around children and pets when applied correctly. It is made from naturally occurring ingredients and does not contain any harmful chemicals.
Charge can be mixed into your soil or coco substrate at 1-7g per litre of potting mix. For established plants, top-dress by applying Charge onto the surface of your growing medium then water as usual.
