Easy as Organics BacTerra
Plenty of the phosphorus and potassium in your soil is already there, just locked up where roots can't reach it. Easy as Organics BacTerra is a soluble powder blend of beneficial Bacillus bacteria that brings the soil around your roots to life, with five specific strains working together in one consortium. Between them they free that locked-up phosphorus and potassium, help convert atmospheric nitrogen into plant-available forms, improve soil structure and strengthen the plant's natural resistance to pests and disease. A root zone like that does more of the work itself. The nutrients already in your soil, compost or organic fertiliser become easier for plants to take up. Easy as Organics credit the blend with higher yields and superior crop quality, and with reducing the need for synthetic fertilisers.
Each of BacTerra's five species has its own job. Bacillus subtilis solubilises inorganic phosphate, supports plant resilience under high salinity and produces enzymes and antibiotics that suppress pathogenic microbes. Bacillus megaterium secretes organic acids that mobilise insoluble phosphorus and other bound nutrients, which keeps microbial turnover and nutrient cycling moving in organic substrates. Bacillus mucilaginosus helps with nitrogen fixation and releases mineral-bound phosphorus and potassium. That raises nutrient density in the rhizosphere. Bacillus licheniformis contributes to both nitrogen fixation and phosphorus solubilisation for sustained vegetative growth. Bacillus thuringiensis rounds out the five: it inhibits soil-borne pathogens and releases plant-available phosphorus as well.
Easy as Organics describe these as antagonistic strains. In other words, they actively push back against harmful microbes in the root zone instead of simply taking up space!
BacTerra also helps regulate pH at the root zone. That gives roots a steadier environment for absorbing nutrients and developing well. The consortium also aids the remediation of soil carrying heavy metals, pesticide residues and herbicides. All of that makes it a natural fit for living soil and organic gardens, raised beds and pots, and it can go in at several points along the way: soaked into seed propagation media, as a drench for transplants and fresh soil, mixed straight through growing media, or as a small amount placed directly in the transplant area. It pairs well with worm castings too. Its fertiliser enhancement drench follows the same idea as the rest of the blend: the bacteria go in right where the solid organic fertiliser's nutrients are waiting to be freed.

Directions for Use

Directions for Use
Application Rate
- Seed treatment: 2 g/L (approximately 2 tsp)
- Transplant and organic fertiliser drench: 2.5 g/L (approximately 2.5 tsp)
- Soil and growing media: 75 g per 10 L of media
- Direct application: 1 tsp per transplant area
Application
- For seed treatment, dissolve the powder in water at the seed rate and soak the seed propagation media with the solution.
- At transplant, dissolve the powder at the transplant rate and drench the transplant and fresh soil. Where solid organic fertiliser has been applied, water it in at the same rate.
- To treat soil or growing media, mix the powder through the media, then water thoroughly and consistently to activate the inoculant.
- For direct application, place the powder in the transplant area and water it in with the rooted cutting or transplanted seedling.
- At transplant, spread a handful of worm castings on the soil (a few handfuls for larger pots) and water them in with BacTerra.
- Spread a handful on the soil at transplant and water them in with BacTerra to help break down nutrients while protecting and promoting root development.
- When mixing the dry powder through soil or media, water thoroughly and consistently afterwards, because that moisture is what activates the inoculant.
Safety
Store in a cool, dark, frost-free place.
