Empathy Bioactive Compost Improver is designed for home gardeners and allotment holders who want to boost their soil biology and improve the performance of their plants. By introducing a potent blend of rootgrow mycorrhizal fungi and beneficial soil bacteria, this additive promotes superior nutrient uptake and stronger root systems for everything from vegetable planters to garden beds. While it is highly effective at increasing plant vitality and flowering, users should note that it requires direct contact with plant roots or seed contact points to achieve the best results.

To apply, sprinkle the powder directly into the planting hole so it makes contact with the roots, or mix it thoroughly through your potting compost before planting. It is compatible with most standard potting mixes and garden soils. To ensure the survival of the biological components, avoid using strong chemical fungicides in the immediate area, as these can inhibit the activity of the beneficial fungi and bacteria. Store the product in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the viability of the microbial population.
