Maximize
Maximize contains almost every mineral nutrient that occurs naturally in soil and higher level microbes (bacteria, fungi, protozoa) that digest thatch and dead leaves.
Maximize can be applied next to the roots of new plantings or near the roots of existing plantings. It contains mycorrhizae fungi which attaches to roots and aids in nutrition, disease suppression, and stimulation of root growth.
For more comprehensive soil-building results, try our Blend, which contains Optimize, Maximize, and Nourish-Biosol.
You can create your own Blend with 1 part Optimize, 2 parts Nourish-Biosol, and 3 parts Maximize. Or you can purchase pre-mixed Blend for your convenience.
