Plant Magic Soil Supreme 50 Litre Bag

Product Information

CHANG: Mendoza was in middle school when he watched "The Martian" for the first time, and the concept intrigued him. MENDOZA: Frass does seem to have a certain added benefit. At about 10% mixture, it seems to add enough nutrients to the soil but also not add too many.

SHAPIRO: Soon he'll harvest the pods. And once he's done collecting that data, he says he'll compile his results into a paper. And thinking far into the future, Mendoza would jump at the opportunity to go to Mars himself. More exotic seeds have dormant periods that can last years. Or require unusual conditions to break their dormancy such as fire. The study used simulated regolith rather than the real thing because genuine lunar soil, as one might imagine, is in short supply on Earth. The researchers used volcanic material from the Changbai mountains of China's Jilin Province to create soil with similar chemical and physical properties to lunar regolith. Plant Magic are particularly well known for their soil nutrients in both their A&B mineral version, and also their single bottle organic oldtimer nutrients. Both of these nutrients are the best soil nutrients that you can buy. Also, they also have a unique, innovative, and dedicated nutrient for the DWC (Deep Water Culture) method of growing. The AdditivesSHAPIRO: Mendoza recently presented his experiment and initial findings at the Entomological Society of America's 2023 conference.

The three bacteria used in the study were: Bacillus mucilaginosus, Bacillus megaterium and Pseudomonas fluorescens. The researchers tested other bacteria as well, but those did not produce the same beneficial effects. A special blend of Sphagnum Peat, Fytocell Foam, and our unique Organic Growth Stimulant. Plant Magic – Soil Supreme makes for a superior growing medium that always yields the best results. Our Organic Growth Stimulant has been extracted from prehistoric plants and animal remains that have decomposed naturally over millions of years. As well as improved quality, flavours, and aromas from flowers, you can expect to see an increase in your yield, especially if you are hoping to grow fruits and vegetables. Our Organic Growth Stimulant is also a great food source for beneficial fungi and microorganisms.Seeds have a shelf life. Use them as soon as possible to increase their chance of growth. However, make sure the germination environment is suitable for the plant to grow in. MATT DAMON: (As Mark Watney) So I got to figure out a way to grow three years' worth of food here on a planet where nothing grows. MENDOZA: All of the plants that are growing right now are exhibiting flowering. If they haven't already started growing pea pods, they are flowering, which is awesome. CHANG: But he's not quite done with the project. Pea plants take about 10 to 12 weeks to fully mature, and Mendoza's are almost there. CHANG: He's even seeing growth in 100% simulated Martian soil, though the plants are less healthy and have smaller leaves.

Seed coatings (Testa) often need soaking to soften or scratching (scarification) to help it to break open and germinate. In the wild this would happen with weathering or animal interference. The first key factor is age. Seedlings need moisture and humidity. Their root systems are too small to draw up enough water if their leaves lose too much to the atmosphere. However, too much water/humidity can lead to damping off (pythium). So careful monitoring with a hygrometer (humidity monitor) and ventilation to keep the levels between 50-70% is desirable.

In the 2015 movie "The Martian," Matt Damon played a botanist stranded all alone on the inhospitable planet. MENDOZA: To maybe not be Mark Watney - I'd prefer not to get stranded on Mars - but to be an archetype, inspiring people to learn more, and you really do a lot with available resources. SHAPIRO: Now in college, he's running an experiment, trying to do what Matt Damon's character did - grow plants in Martian soil - well, simulated Martian soil. MENDOZA: It doesn't have organic matter, and it's also missing some certain macronutrients that contain nitrogen, phosphorus and sulfur. They make a full range of both mineral and organic origin, with a range of matching boosters and additives to boot. Not just for Soil
