Autumn Gardening Tips with EMNZ
Compost Enrichment: As you prepare to compost fallen leaves and garden debris, incorporate Compost Boost + to accelerate the decomposition process and enrich the compost with beneficial microorganisms.
Soil Revitalization: Before planting autumn crops or overwintering perennials, treat the soil with Health Soil + to improve soil structure, boost activity and fertility. This will provide a nutrient-rich environment for plants to thrive during the cooler months.
Fruit Tree Care: Give your fruit trees a boost before winter sets in by applying Organic Plant Food +. This organic formulation nourishes trees, strengthens their natural defenses, and promotes healthy fruit development.
