What It Does

Plant Juice is our all-purpose organic plant food, designed to provide complete nutrition and beneficial microbes to all types of plants. Unlike conventional fertilizers that can damage soil health over time, Plant Juice works with nature to build a living soil ecosystem.

Key Benefits

• Strengthens roots and stems for healthier overall growth
• Enhances natural growth processes through beneficial microorganisms
• Increases drought tolerance and stress resistance
• Improves soil health with each application
• Safe for all plants, pets, and people
• No synthetic chemicals, salts, or harmful ingredients

How It Works

Our unique formula delivers balanced nutrition through multiple pathways:

1. Immediate Nutrients - Plants can access readily available nutrients right away
2. Microbial Activity - Beneficial microbes break down organic matter into plant-available forms
3. Root Enhancement - Special compounds stimulate root growth and function
4. Soil Building - Each application improves soil structure and biological activity

Dilution Chart

Always shake the bottle well before using. For maximum microbial activity, use dechlorinated water (tap water left to sit for 24 hours, well water, or rain water).

What is Dechlorinated Water?

Dechlorinated water is water without chlorine, which can harm the beneficial microbes in Plant Juice. You can create dechlorinated water through these methods:

• Let tap water sit in an open container for 24 hours to allow the chlorine to evaporate
• Use collected rainwater
• Use well water
• Use distilled or filtered water

Application Instructions

Using a Hose End Sprayer

For larger areas like lawns, gardens, or multiple trees, a hose end sprayer is the most efficient application method:

1. Fill the reservoir with undiluted Plant Juice
2. Set the sprayer to 2 oz per gallon (most of our hose end sprayers are pre-set to this dilution rate)
3. Spray evenly over the target area
4. Rinse the sprayer thoroughly after use

Plant-Specific Usage

While Plant Juice is beneficial for all plants, here are some specific recommendations for common plant types:

Vegetable Gardens

Trees & Shrubs

Tips and Tricks

Getting the Most from Plant Juice

• Consistency is key: Regular applications at recommended intervals will build up soil health over time
• Start early: Begin applications early in the growing season to establish strong root systems
• Pair with good watering practices: Water deeply but less frequently to encourage deep root growth
• Use with Ancient Soil: For new plantings or repotting, combine with Ancient Soil for optimal results
• Transition to Bloom Juice: When plants begin to form flower buds, alternate with or switch to Bloom Juice

Storage Instructions

• Store in a cool, dark place between 40-80°F (4-27°C)
• Keep bottle tightly sealed when not in use
• Do not expose to freezing temperatures
• Use within 1 year of purchase for maximum effectiveness

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Plant Juice safe for edible plants?

Absolutely! Plant Juice is 100% organic and safe for use on all edible plants including vegetables, herbs, and fruit trees. There are no synthetic chemicals or harmful ingredients, making it perfect for organic gardening.

Can I use Plant Juice on seedlings and young plants?

Yes, but with a lighter touch. For very young seedlings, use Plant Juice at half strength (1 oz per gallon instead of 2 oz). Wait until seedlings have their first true leaves before applying, and gradually increase to full strength as plants mature.

How does Plant Juice differ from conventional fertilizers?

Conventional fertilizers typically provide only NPK (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium) and may contain synthetic chemicals that can harm soil life over time. Plant Juice delivers a complete spectrum of nutrients plus beneficial microorganisms that build soil health while feeding plants.

Will Plant Juice burn my plants?

No, when used as directed, Plant Juice will not burn plants. The organic formulation releases nutrients gradually, eliminating the risk of fertilizer burn that comes with synthetic options. Always follow the recommended dilution rates for best results.

Can I mix Plant Juice with other fertilizers?

We recommend using Plant Juice alone or with other Elm Dirt products for best results. You can use Plant Juice with synthetic fertilizers to boost the effect of the synthetic fertilizer and reduce fertilizer runoff. Do not use with fungicides. If you do use fungicides, apply them at least 1 week apart from Plant Juice applications.

What's the shelf life of Plant Juice?

Plant Juice remains effective for up to 1 year when stored properly in a cool, dark place with the bottle tightly sealed. The living microbes in the formula are most active within the first year.
