Basket Starter biscuits are the better way to get the absolute best results from your hanging baskets and containers. This specialized product contains five active components designed to address the fact that container compost often lacks the complex biology found in natural garden soils. Each biscuit is packed with rootgrow mycorrhizal fungi, beneficial bacteria, up to 4 months of nutrients, water-retaining crystals, and bioadditives. Using just a few biscuits whilst planting provides the essential support needed for the efficient transfer of nutrients and water, leading to thriving plants in all your portable displays.

Directions for Use

How to Use

• Planting Time: When planting your baskets or containers, simply place a few Basket Starter biscuits into the soil or compost mix.

• Covering: Once placed, cover the biscuits with a thin layer of soil or compost to fully integrate them into the planting medium.

• Timing: Apply Basket Starter biscuits at the time of planting your baskets or containers to provide immediate support.

• Frequency: Additional applications can be made as needed throughout the growing season to replenish nutrients and maintain soil health.

Cautions

• Proper Use: Use only as directed, and do not exceed the recommended amount of Basket Starter biscuits per planting.

• Storage: Store the product in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture, to maintain its effectiveness.

• Safety: Keep the product out of reach of children and pets to prevent accidental ingestion or contact.

• Not a Substitute for Proper Plant Care: While Basket Starter biscuits provide essential nutrients and support, they are not a substitute for regular watering, fertilizing, and overall plant care.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• Q1: How do the water-retaining crystals help hanging baskets?

  • A: Hanging baskets dry out quickly. The crystals absorb and hold moisture, releasing it slowly to the roots, which reduces watering frequency and risk of plant stress.

• Q2: Do I still need to fertilize if the biscuits provide 4 months of nutrients?

  • A: While they provide a strong nutritional base, heavy feeders may benefit from supplementary liquid feeding after the four-month nutrient release period is complete.

• Q3: Can these biscuits be broken up for small pots?

  • A: It is generally recommended to use the biscuits whole to ensure the even release of all five components, but for very small pots, a reduced number of biscuits may be appropriate.
