This spring, EcoGro, a local company based in Cumbria, will launch a range of innovative, eco-friendly and specialist plant foods.
These new products are made using natural and sustainable ingredients to help effectively aid plant growth without damaging the planet.
EcoGro founders, Chris Harrison, Kevin Beaty and Mark Goulay, are farmers who know how to work with the soil and protect pollinators. Using their specialist knowledge, EcoGro are looking to safeguard the future of the planet for gardeners across the UK.
As the EcoGro family are not made using chemicals, they work naturally to ensure the long-term health of both plants and the soil. The absence of chemicals helps to reduce soil acidification, increase soil microbe activity, and reduce water loss in the soil structure. On average, it will also produce 30% less CO2 emissions in production, further helping to promote sustainable and eco-friendly gardening.
The EcoGro family comprises of:
- EcoGro Booster, which aids fruit and vegetable growth to ensure your crop is healthy and vast on harvest
- EcoGro Bloomer for flowering plants in borders, hanging baskets and pots
- EcoGro Ericaceous which works with the micro-organisms in the soil to create perfect growing conditions for acid loving plants
- EcoGro EcoMyst, a handy spray bottle ideal for indoor plants.
The plant foods are made using by-products from anaerobic digesters which create renewable energy on EcoGro’s farms. The by-product is concentrated to create a nutrient rich plant food which is free from artificial chemicals. Through research and development during the Covid-19 pandemic, EcoGro refined their products with added natural nutrients to create purpose specific products.
