SoilPlex enriches soil giving plants the nutrition they need — while eliminating toxins.

With its humic and fulvic acids, SoilPlex also increases water infiltration and water-holding capacity in soil, making it a tool for growing the healthiest lawns, gardens and plants, while conserving water and fertilizer.

What is SoilPlex?

SoilPlex is a natural humic acid derived from humate and has a natural carbon source. The most prominent and well-known benefit of SoilPlex is the increased nutrient uptake in plants.

SoilPlex is OMRI listed, meaning it’s 100 percent certified organic, and processed using strict guidelines to ensure the highest quality available. SoilPlex may be used as a soil amendment, foliar spray or fertilizer enhancer.

Being in liquid form, it is fast acting and highly effective at delivering humic acids deep into the soil and to the plant. In combination with fertilization, it allows the user to get the most out of their fertilization program and will reduce the amount of nutrients necessary to produce healthy plants.

Soil Applications

In the soil, SoilPlex’s humic and fulvic acids are important chelators, binding minerals into organic compounds that are more available to plants. SoilPlex’s humic and fulvic acids also tie up the soil’s toxins, making them less available to plants.

Toxins are increasingly common, as they have been accumulating in soil for many years, including from pesticides and heavy metals. These pollutants degrade the soil, and without remediation, degrade plant and crop health as well. SoilPlex helps to bind and lock up these toxic molecules.

Further, the humic acids from SoilPlex allow the nutrients provided by fertilizers to become accessible to plants, so money is not lost and plant health doesn’t suffer due to poorly absorbed fertilizer. In this way, SoilPlex increases the health of plants while benefiting growers economically.

Foliar Applications

Soil Plex increases nutrient uptake through foliar applications as well as through soil.

Paired with fulvic acids, humic acids are vital for increasing cell wall permeability in plants. When cell membranes become more permeable, nutrients can more easily enter through the plant, often carried by fulvic acids, which are particularly good chelators, or binders.

ADDITIONAL BENEFITS OF SOILPLEX

• SoilPlex is a Geoponics‘ product that is OMRI Listed® for organic growing through the Organic Materials Review Institute.
• SoilPlex promotes healthy root growth as humic acid creates space for microbes. This is especially noticeable in high-clay and compacted soils, where soil particles are bound tightly together.
• SoilPlex increases water retention by actually reducing evaporation by up to 30 percent.
• Use of SoilPlex creates a healthy microbiome.
• Humic and fulvic acids in SoilPlex perform similarly to the plant growth hormone Auxin, which promotes plant growth and root development, and results in improved plant health as well as increased production of fruits and vegetables.
• SoilPlex will also increase and enhance microbial activity aiding in the maintenance of healthy aerobic soil profiles.
• SoilPlex aggregates soil, reducing sodium build up.

Better Together

SoilPlex works even better when combined with FertaFlow and Carbotein. Learn more about why and how to use the three in combination for ideal growing conditions in an upcoming blog coming soon to GeoponicsCorp.com.

Fertilize flower beds, gardens and lawns using FertaFlow organic fish fertilizer. Because it is organic and OMRI listed, it is ideal for growing fruits and vegetables you can feel great about eating.

FertaFlow provides the nutrients plants need to stay healthy and can be absorbed through foliar or via root absorption. FertaFlow is a food source of naturally occurring microorganisms readily available to the plant.

FertaFlow’s superiority is in part due to the slow, cool processing method that retains oils, enzymes, vitamins, hormones, proteins and amino acids essential for optimal plant growth. Many other brands strip away these essential nutrients.

WHEN TO USE FERTAFLOW

Fertilize your lawn and garden on time this spring. If you’re in a cold winter region, doing so when the soil temperature reaches 55 degrees Fahrenheit. When the grass starts growing, it’s time.

FertaFlow is appropriate for many uses in the garden and is useful as a lawn fertilizer in early spring and to feed leafy green vegetables.

An additional application may be planned about four weeks later, around mid- to late- May. Then fertilize every six to eight weeks after that straight through October, or beyond, depending upon the growing region.

FERTAFLOW IS ORGANIC, OMRI LISTED 

Be proud of what you’re growing using FertaFlow and be proud of how you’re growing it. FertaFlow is one of Geoponics’ products that is OMRI Listed® for organic growing through the Organic Materials Review Institute.

BENEFITS OF FERTAFLOW INCLUDE:

• Produces strong, beautiful flowers; deep green turf; and delicious fruits and vegetables.
• Promotes the growth of soil microorganisms.
• Will not burn plants or stripe.
• Efficient for use with spray or drip irrigation systems.
• Cold processed to preserve nutrients with no fishy odor.
• Environmentally-friendly, organic, biodegradable product.

WHY FERTAFLOW?

FertaFlow is made from fresh fish carefully processed at low temperatures to maintain the integrity of naturally occurring nutrients.

The majority of fish fertilizers on the market are known as emulsions, meaning the fish is cooked and the oil removed for industrial chemicals. Also, the protein is removed and dried to make fish meal for livestock feeds. The remaining waste is condensed into a thick liquid called an emulsion. FertaFlow, however, is cold processed to retain the living organisms and all the natural oils and proteins nature originally provided.

FertaFlow is made from a unique source of fresh fish. The enzymatic process used takes nature’s protein and makes it readily absorbable for plant leaves and roots. FertaFlow provides all the nutrients you would expect from fish without the unpleasant smell. FertaFlow will promote beautiful flowers, lush green lawns and turf, and delicious fruits and vegetables.

MORE BENEFITS:

• No strong fishy odor
• Low cost per application
• Ease of use
• Will not stripe or burn
• 100% organic
• Promotes the growth of soil microorganisms
• Cold processed to preserve nutrients
• Made from a renewable & sustainable resource
• Produces strong plants with abundant flowers & fruit and deep green turf
• Formulated for both foliar & root zone applications
• 100% fish protein broken down into readily absorbable nutrients

UNDERSTANDING FERTILIZER NUMBERS

For home users who may be less familiar, the three numbers that you see on FertaFlow, and other fertilizer labels, tell you what proportion of each macronutrient the fertilizer contains. The first number is always nitrogen (N), the second is phosphorus (P) and the third is potassium (K).

Nitrogen provides for lush, green plant growth; phosphorous and potassium will promote better root growth and potassium provides for overall health and vigor.

FertaFlow’s Guaranteed Analysis: 2-3-1

Total Nitrogen (N)………………………….. 2.0%

Water Soluble Nitrogen………………        1.7%

Water Insoluble Nitrogen…………….      0.3%

Available Phosphate (P2O2)…………….   3.0%

Soluble Potash (K2O)……………………..   1.0%

*Derived from protein hydrolysate, allowing for greater absorption

Florida’s climate is temperamental and seasonally volatile. Growing turf and healthy grass from Florida’s dry winter through summer’s frequent rain and high heat is a challenge. Geoponics gathered several expert tips on growing turf, especially growing Florida’s most popular turfgrass varieties through drought, floods, high traffic, sandy soils, salt and other challenging conditions.

A common Southwest Florida summer day on a golf course will bring afternoon thunderstorms to the second hole while players and grass stay completely dry on the third hole.

Florida’s weather includes extreme heat and humidity in summer months as well as severe periods of drought in winter and damaging summer floods. This can be challenging and expensive for lawn maintenance crews,

Many times adding water to a dry lawn, dry garden, dry farm, golf course or other dry soil will not help. Soil surfactants that improve soil health are a solution.

Soil surfactants, wetting agents and soil penetrants

Many soils may repel water, not allowing water to get deep into root systems. This of course leads to unhealthy turf and other plants. Soil surfactants can be used to help manage water.
