Troubleshooting
Liquid feed appears cloudy or has sediment.
This is normal for organic feeds. Stir thoroughly before application. Ensure all pellets have fully dissolved; if not, steep for longer.
Plants show no sign of improved growth.
Ensure the pellets are being applied correctly (either scattered or as a properly diluted liquid feed). Check for other limiting factors such as sunlight, water, or pest infestation. Soil pH may also affect nutrient uptake.
Pellets are slow to break down when scattered.
This is expected as they provide a slow-release of nutrients. If faster action is desired, use the liquid feed method. Ensure adequate moisture in the soil to aid decomposition.
