Niki loves using MARPHYL Soil Enhnacer for her vegetable garden. She says:
There may be a frost in the forecast for tonight but I still gave my hardy fall crops a dose of MARPHYL Marine Phytoplankton Soil Enhancer today. This organic, Canadian product is packed with nutrients, minerals and vitamins to encourage healthy plant growth. I’ve been using it all season long in my garden, polytunnel, on my seedlings, in my container gardens, and even on my houseplants with excellent results.

Does Marphyl take the place of another type of fertilizer, for example fish emulsion?
Hi! Our Soil Enhancer has all the necessary nutrients that a plant needs. There is no need to combine it with any other fertilizers.
