This year mycorrhizal fungi has been mentioned many times on BBC Gardeners World which reflects the changing times to more sustainable gardening practices. This was further developed by PlantWorks Spring advertising campaign which asked gardeners, 'Given the choice would you garden with chemicals or would you use the natural power of pure biology?' This activity has seen a 30% increase in rootgrow sales so far in 2017.

It has always been an objective for PlantWorks to offer UK gardeners a very real alternative to the conventional chemical approach to plant nutrition so we are pleased to announce the extension of our popular After Plant granular feeds with liquid versions in seven types. In keeping with the core beliefs of the Empathy ethos, all products will contain natural and sustainable ingredients, pioneer new and exciting active components,  offer plants the best biological nutritional solutions modern day science has to offer and be highly effective and easy to use.

The Liquid After Plant formulations are specifically designed around the individual nutrient requirements of specific plant groups and the best method of application is considered very carefully. For instance After plant for Evergreens comes as both a granular and liquid formulation. Evergreens will benefit from a spring top dress with granular feed followed with regular liquid feed feed throught the season. Empathy products are designed to seed soil biology to create an environment where the fertility of the soil is kick started and can support the plant for its lifetime.

Other component parts of Empathy Liquid After Plant are Seaweed, Amino Acids, Nutrients derived from as sustainable sources as possible, Humic and Fulvic Acids, Potassium phosphite (Roses only).
