I was at a nursery over the weekend and stumbled across this product http://www.saveyoursoils.com/portfolio- ... juven8tor/anybody have any experience with this 'fertiliser'?
I am switching to totally inorganic soil mix - with the exception of a little chopped sphagnum, i wondering if this would be of any use? On top of my usual seasol/go-go juice and power feed regimen.
Thanks

Curious to know your reasoning behind a total inorganic fertiliser method for your trees.
Edit- I didn't read the post clearly, you are using inorganic potting mix only.

Re: (Plant) food for thought
It seems to be a soil conditioner rather that fertiliser, so I can't see how it would be useful in an inorganic, soilless potting mix. However it may provide some minerals that your fertiliser regime may not.

I just use Charlie Carp and Miracle grow alternating, and top the soils with a small handful of Neutrog Sudd3en impact pellets.
work Ok for me with inorganic mix
Would not think you will have to worry about Rejuvenating anything.

Re: (Plant) food for thought
Im not specifically worried about the way my soil mix is working - i was more curious, would these so called micro-organisms and whatever else they are claiming have any benefit in a totally inorganic environment? Yes is has some sort of an NPK rating and a few trace elements - but i would like to think my trees are already provided those things under my current reigeme.
