Product function
Food and habitat for soil biology
- Fish hydrolysate supplies organic nutrients, amino compounds, and marine-derived inputs.
- Molasses provides an accessible carbon source to help feed beneficial soil microbes.
- Charged biochar provides stable carbon structure and habitat around the root zone.
- Water We supply the biology. You add the water!
Fungal Feeder is deliberately positioned as a biology treatment rather than a replacement for a complete fertiliser programme. Its role is to support the living system around plant roots.
