What’s included in The Living Soil Brew Bundle and what does it do?
The bundle includes High Tea (Compost Tea Extract), Root Roids 1kg, Fruit Roids 1kg, and Boost 500g. It’s designed to boost soil biology—High Tea provides fast microbial diversity, while the Roids support long-term root health, nutrient cycling, and flowering performance.
Is The Living Soil Brew Bundle only for living soil?
No—it works in coco, soil, no-dig beds, and even hydro (with more care). It's suitable for veggies, herbs, fruiting crops, ornamentals, and indoor plants. Just adjust rates based on pot size and keep pH, irrigation, and airflow in check to avoid overwatering issues.
What is High Tea, and how is it different from compost tea?
High Tea is a ready-to-use compost extract loaded with beneficial fungi and bacteria. Unlike compost tea, which you brew yourself, High Tea delivers biology without brewing. You can shake/agitate to oxygenate or use a bubbler—but always apply fresh for best results.
How often should I use High Tea, and when’s the best time to apply it?
Weekly to fortnightly is a common rhythm. Apply early morning or evening, avoid hot sun, and use it as a soil drench. Foliar spraying is possible but requires straining and careful timing. Don’t store mixed tea—it can go anaerobic and lose effectiveness.
Can High Tea be used in coco, hydro, and irrigation systems?
Yes, but it needs care. In coco, maintain stable pH and avoid overwatering. In hydro, be prepared to clean biofilm and avoid letting mixes sit. Drip lines may clog—strain your mix and flush systems after use.
Does High Tea replace fertiliser?
No. It’s a biology booster, not a full nutrition plan. You still need compost, organic inputs, or a base fertiliser to feed the plant. High Tea can help improve nutrient availability, but not replace core feeding.
Can I use High Tea with pesticides, peroxide, or fungicides?
Avoid mixing High Tea with sterilising products like peroxide or broad-spectrum fungicides—they can kill the microbes. Apply High Tea separately, after chemical effects wear off. It’s generally safe with IPM sprays if applied thoughtfully.
What do Root Roids, Boost, and Fruit Roids each do?
Root Roids delivers mycorrhizae and bacteria to support root uptake. Boost adds bacillus strains to reinforce microbial balance. Fruit Roids is a flowering enhancer aimed at better set, density, and quality. They’re complementary, not redundant.
When and how should I apply the Roids products?
Use Root Roids at transplant or early growth—get it on the roots or in the planting hole. Boost can be added weekly or fortnightly to support the root zone. Start Fruit Roids at early flower and run through the bloom window. Mix fresh and water in thoroughly.
Can I use the Roids products together or with High Tea?
Yes—they can be used in the same week or even same watering, just not at max dose all at once. A good habit: apply Root Roids at transplant, Boost regularly, and High Tea as a microbial top-up. Fruit Roids comes in once flowering starts. Keep your mix simple and fresh.
Will chlorine or synthetic fertilisers reduce microbial performance?
Chlorinated water and strong synthetic feeding (especially high phosphorus) can reduce microbial efficiency. Use filtered or dechlorinated water where possible, and avoid stacking too many inputs—start light and watch your plant’s response.
Do Roids or High Tea shift pH or EC?
They may cause small changes, especially in coco or hydro setups. Always mix everything, then check pH/EC before applying. These are low-salt products, but they can still interact with your overall nutrient plan.
How should I store the Roids products?
Keep them sealed, cool, dry, and out of direct sunlight. Moisture and heat reduce shelf life. Don’t store mixed High Tea or Roids solution—make fresh batches and use them promptly to preserve microbial viability.
What’s a simple weekly routine using The Living Soil Brew Bundle?
Apply High Tea weekly or fortnightly as a soil drench. Use Root Roids at transplant, Boost regularly through veg, and introduce Fruit Roids when flowering begins. Don’t mix everything at once—stagger use and stay consistent.
How do I know the bundle is working?
Look for stronger roots, improved growth, better stress tolerance, and healthier soil texture. Over time, you’ll notice steadier plant performance—especially when paired with good compost, mulch, watering habits, and proper light.
