Why You Need It
Soil growers demand balance — and House & Garden 1-Component Aarde delivers it perfectly. Formulated for use with soil’s natural buffering properties, it provides steady, consistent nutrition that plants can access immediately. It eliminates the need for separate “grow” and “bloom” formulas, simplifying your feeding schedule while ensuring optimal nutrition from start to finish.
The addition of humic and fulvic acids improves nutrient absorption, microbial activity, and root vitality, while chelated iron prevents yellowing and ensures strong chlorophyll production. The result is vibrant, healthy growth throughout veg and bloom — with stronger stems, greener leaves, and higher yields of aromatic, flavour-packed produce.
How HOUSE & GARDEN 1-Component Aarde Works
Aarde provides a complete balance of essential elements, combining macronutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium with secondary nutrients such as calcium, magnesium, and trace elements. These components are delivered in a highly soluble form that plants can absorb immediately.
The formula also contains humic and fulvic acids that act as natural chelators — binding nutrients to keep them available for root uptake — while improving soil structure and microbial health. Chelated iron keeps plants lush and green by maintaining consistent chlorophyll levels, supporting photosynthesis and strong growth.
How to Use
- Prepare your water: Fill your watering can or reservoir with clean water (preferably filtered or conditioned).
- Add nutrient: Mix 1-5ml per litre of Aarde depending on plant size, growth stage, and soil nutrient depletion.
- Mix thoroughly: Stir well to ensure complete dispersion throughout your feed water.
- Check EC and pH: Aim for an EC of 1.2–2.0 and a soil pH between 6.5–7.0 (optimum 6.8).
- Feeding frequency: For hand-watered plants, apply once every second or third watering once soil nutrients begin to deplete. For drip-fed systems, follow your standard feeding schedule.
- Add boosters: Combine with House & Garden additives such as Roots Excelurator, Multi Zyme, and Bud-XL for enhanced results.
