Its microporous structure gives it an exceptional exchange surface, capable of retaining water and nutrients like a sponge. Mixed into the substrate of your permaculture raised beds, it creates a network of micro-habitats where beneficial fungi and bacteria thrive, stimulating root recovery and improving nutrient bioavailability for your plants. It also regenerates humus in the soil for long-term fertility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(47, 167, 54);\"\u003eBenefits\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImproved soil life\u003c\/strong\u003e: micro-pores shelter bacteria and micro-organisms essential to plant nutrition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAccelerated root recovery\u003c\/strong\u003e: promotes rapid root development after transplanting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater and nutrient retention\u003c\/strong\u003e: reduces leaching and optimises nutrient efficiency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHumus regeneration\u003c\/strong\u003e: enriches the soil with stable humus for long-term fertility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncreased exchange surface\u003c\/strong\u003e: microporous structure maximises nutrient availability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCarbon sequestration\u003c\/strong\u003e: helps trap carbon in the soil, a virtuous ecological approach\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertified organic\u003c\/strong\u003e: NF U44-051, suitable for organic farming (EC 889\/2008)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(47, 167, 54);\"\u003eUsage \u0026amp; dosage\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecommended dosage: 500 g to 1 kg per m².
