Yes, it is an organic-based feed that promotes natural soil health through the inclusion of mycorrhizal fungi.
Always adhere to the recommended dosage. Over-application of any concentrated feed can potentially stress sensitive root systems.

This is often the mycorrhizal fungi colonizing the soil; it is a normal part of the process and generally harmless.
Ensure that the feed was placed in direct contact with the roots and that the plant is receiving adequate water to activate the biological components.
To achieve optimal results, always apply the feed at the time of planting. For bare-root stock, you can dust the roots directly with the granules. For container-grown plants, incorporate the feed into the backfill soil surrounding the root ball.
