The Ultimate Guide to Using TerraSoil BioBoost Soil Enhancer

Thomas Grima

Overview


TerraSoil BioBoost Soil Enhancer is the ideal solution for gardeners and plant enthusiasts looking to enrich their soil with essential micro and trace nutrients, improve soil structure, and foster a thriving microbial ecosystem. Whether you're caring for potted houseplants, maintaining a lush garden, or cultivating a field, BioBoost ensures optimal growth during the vegetative stage by addressing nutrient gaps and enhancing soil health.


Did you know most common potting soil's are lacking in key trace and micro-nutrients. Many come pre-fertilised and are either based on peat, compost or coir, and even sometimes a mix of all three. When pre-fertilised, they often contain small balls of slow release fertiliser that give your plants enough food for the first few months or weeks after transplanting. Once these are used up the plants roots are looking for more nutrients and often take up the space of the entire pot. We recommend using organic blends by adding them to the top of the soil and watering them in, this allows the important nutrients to seep into where they are needed.

Why Use BioBoost Soil Enhancer?


  • Comprehensive Nutrient Profile: Supplies essential micro and trace nutrients often missing in potting soils, including calcium, magnesium, sulfur, and iron.

  • Mycorrhizal Symbiosis: Low phosphorus content encourages beneficial fungal relationships for enhanced nutrient uptake.

  • Soil Health: Includes biochar, leonardite, gypsum, and bentonite to improve aeration, water retention, and microbial life.

  • Sustainable: Long-term benefits from natural minerals like granite, basalt, and dolomite that provide sustained nutrient release.
