{"product_id":"vegepod-booster","title":"Vegepod Booster","description":"\u003cp\u003eContainer soil works hard, and Vegepod Booster is made for it: a soil feeder and conditioner for edible plants grown in raised garden beds, pots, Vegepods and Vegebags. Every crop draws on the same limited volume of soil, and after a few harvests it can be left tired and depleted. Booster is formulated to stimulate and rejuvenate that soil for edible plants that need vigorous, sustained productivity from one planting to the next. It's made here in Australia, developed over two years of controlled experiments and testing after Vegepod customers kept asking how to rejuvenate their soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBooster's formula is built on seaweed and fish, reinforced with humates and a mix of minerals and trace elements. Seaweed and fish have long been used to feed garden soil, and they're the feeding side of this blend. The humates are humic materials, and they're there for the soil itself. They improve its structure and help it hold on to nutrients, which counts for a lot in a bed or pot where the same soil has to carry crop after crop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat pairing is why Booster works as a conditioner as well as a feeder. Vegepod say it triggers the roots and plant hormones so the plant actually takes in the nutrients it needs. The aim is to boost and sustain the hungriest parts of an edible plant: its roots, fruits, large leaves and flowers. That's where an edible crop puts most of its growth, and those parts are the first to suffer when the soil runs thin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBooster earns its place at three points in a growing season. It lifts poor-quality soil before planting and refeeds depleted soil after a harvest. It also carries crops through their heaviest growth, as they flower and set fruit. Vegepod describe it as a premium, complex formula of a kind otherwise found in commercial farming, and say that as part of spring soil preparation it supports rapid growth, improves yields and strengthens plant health.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause Booster goes into a small, closed volume of soil, more isn't better. Over-fertilising a pot or bed can cause nutrient imbalance or plant stress, and that's why the label's recommended amount is the one to stick to. The easiest moment to use it comes when a Vegepod or raised bed has been emptied after a crop: an application while that soil is being turned and prepared is the simplest way to give the next planting a refreshed start!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vegepod","offers":[{"title":"1 L","offer_id":67424454607006,"sku":"9350815002005","price":28.49,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/5261\/6094\/files\/Vegepod_Booster_1L.png?v=1791979892","url":"https:\/\/www.hydrooasis.com.au\/products\/vegepod-booster","provider":"Hydro Oasis","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
