That’s high for a liquid, and it means every application is contributing something to soil biology and microbial activity, not just feeding the plant above ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe amino acid complex is the other piece worth understanding. Amino acids are the building blocks plants use for protein synthesis, and supplying them directly reduces the energy plants spend producing their own, particularly useful during periods of heat stress, drought, or after transplanting when plants are working hard to re-establish. It won’t rescue a seriously stressed plant, but it’s a useful support through those periods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eUse it as a liquid top-up alongside a granular base fertiliser during active growth. Given the nitrogen content and amino acid profile, it’s particularly well suited to leafy vegetables, lawns going into the growing season, and ornamentals that need a green-up without excessive push.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGarden beds, soil drench\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eMix with water and apply to moist soil during active growth.

Gives plants a faster uptake of amino acids and nitrogen.
