You can pour in ready-made minerals and bypass the soil entirely, or you can feed the living soil and let it hand nutrients to the roots at the pace they need. The second way is slower to start, but it builds healthier soil, healthier plants and better-tasting harvests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlagron Alga Grow\u003c\/strong\u003e is an \u003cstrong\u003eorganic, algae-based base feed\u003c\/strong\u003e for the growth stage.
