Ecothrive Charge is a unique product, comprised of 100% natural ingredients. It is a potting soil enhancer that carries a plethora of benefits for your plants, especially their rooting system.
This 100% natural plant growth catalyst is full of beneficial microorganisms. They work symbiotically to promote a healthy biological balance in your soil or coco medium. Using Ecothrive Charge leads to improving nutrient availability, root growth and root zone health. The product is approved by The Soil Association.
Produced entirely from beetle droppings (aka mealworm). The substance of Ecothrive Charge resembles sand a lot. Therefore, this ‘insect frass’ is easy to mix into any potting medium (still keep in mind that the manufacturer recommends it for soil and coco only). The soil enhancer will not only boost but also prolong the fertility of your potting mix.
By adding a balance of long-lasting primary nutrients in a highly available form (NPK-3/2/3), alongside micro and macronutrients and a whole load of beneficial rhizosphere bacteria, you can expect increased growth rates, a healthy fruitful crop, increased resistance to pests and diseases and improved root zone conditions. A definite winner for any professional gardener!

Ecothrive Charge contains only one ingredient – insect frass. Surprisingly or not, this is the technical term professionals use for bug droppings. In this case, the droppings are supplied by the larvae of Tenebrio Molitor beetles (Mealworms). Needless to say the final product is 100% clean of any live elements. Meaning, you will not get any unwanted visitors by using Ecothrive Charge. The product goes through a number of processes and tests before being packed to ensure that the product meets the highest standards of quality and doesn’t include any critters!
HOW DOES THIS SOIL ENHANCER WORK?
Charge will improve your plants’ lifecycle and span in a variety ways. On the one hand, it provides a range of macro and micro-nutrients that are a must-have for healthy plant growth. On the other, it is packed full of beneficial microorganisms.
Laboratory tests have shown that Ecothrive Charge contains more than 450 million colony-forming units of beneficial rhizosphere bacteria per gram! When growing organically these beneficial bacteria ‘charge’ the potting mix, making it more favourable for root growth and function, and vastly improving nutrient cycling and availability.
Last but not least, being an organic waste from insects, Charge contains derivatives of chitin, which is a modified polysaccharide found in large concentrations in the cell walls of insects. The chitinous derivatives found in Charge are able to naturally elevate the plants in-built resistance to pests and disease, as well as increase growth rates and productivity; ensuring a healthy and fruitful crop.
HOW TO USE
Here are the general use scenarios:
- For best results, mix Ecothrive Charge into your potting mix before planting.
- If your growing media has little nutritional value, such as Coco fibre or a lighter soil mix, mix it at 2% by volume.
- If you use heavily fertilized soil, mix it at 1% by volume.
- For outdoor use add 50-100g per metre squared at planting or sowing. In the weeks after mixing Charge into the growing media, water and feed your plants just as you would do normally.
- Charge contains a mild kick of nutrients and will compliment your nutrient regime without interference.
- For continued plant health and growth improvements, top-dress Ecothrive Charge every 4 weeks.
