Truly organic soil fertiliser Activearth is a truly organic soil fertiliser that behaves
like a spark plug for the garden, switching on and boosting the natural elements present in the soil that will help it recover.
Activearth began life in France, helping corn, rape seed and potatoes grow in heavy soils being impacted by tough climactic changes. Bio8 added a microbiological fungus, developed in the US, to the pellets to supercharge them. This unique strain of bacteria (no-one else has access to these bacteria) means Activearth is now an effective probiotic, improving worm activity and soil texture in flower beds and vegetable plots here in the UK.
Tests by six independent laboratories, including Bioemco, Proefcentrum voor de Groenteteelt and the French Public Works Research Laboratory, show increases in visible fauna and earthworm activity by 55.5 percent. Activearth breaks down clay- based soils to humus/loam by more than 30 percent.
Envii has new environmentally friendly products designed just for domestic gardeners set to be launched in 2021. In each case, envii has used lateral thinking and scientific know-how to completely re-think plant care and how best to counter the impact in our gardens of the changing weather. Look out for a step change in plant rooting, an advanced tomato fertiliser, and a super-charged probiotic for your compost.
Activearth costs £17.99 for 1.2kg including UK P&P from

Eco-friendly Slug & Snail Barrier Pellets
Pelsis Group brand, Green Protect has launched a new eco- friendly solution to slug and snail control ahead of the 2021 season. The Green Protect Slug & Snail Barrier Pellets
are a chemical free solution to protecting the garden from slug and snail damage. The pellets are made of a coarse, grain-like absorbent mineral with sharp edges,
designed specifically to deter slugs and snails. As these garden pests secrete mucus as they travel across the ground, their entire body makes contact with the ground meaning they avoid sharp and absorbent surfaces. They are packaged in a bottle made from
recycled plastic and the 1.5kg pack will provide coverage of up to 30m. The product is safe for use around children, pets and garden wildlife including hedgehogs. Green Protect Brand Manager, Gemma Hodgson, said: “There is increased demand for eco-friendly, chemical free pest control
for home and garden use. The upcoming Green Protect Slug & Snail Barrier Pellets offer a great method of protecting vegetables, fruit and ornamental plants from slug and snail damage without the use of poison. I particularly like that at the end of the season the pellets can be turned into the soil and left to biodegrade.”
