The result is often weak roots, poor nutrient uptake between feeds and growth that stalls whenever a watering is missed. Slow-release organic tablets sit in the root zone releasing nutrition as microbes break them down, keeping supply matched to demand and giving roots something to colonise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlacement:\u003c\/strong\u003e push tablets \u003cstrong\u003e5-10cm deep\u003c\/strong\u003e into the potting compost or coco around the root ball, then water as normal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePots under 5L:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e1 tablet\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e10L pots:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e2 tablets\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e20L pots:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e3 tablets\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e30L and 50L pots:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e4 tablets\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e70L pots:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e6 tablets\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTiming:\u003c\/strong\u003e place at transplant, and keep the medium evenly moist – the bacteria need moisture to break the tablets down\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003epH:\u003c\/strong\u003e water in around \u003cstrong\u003epH 6.0-6.5\u003c\/strong\u003e in soil and let the biology buffer the root zone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"hcs-specs\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Organic slow-release fertiliser tablet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNPK:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15-7-8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e Slow-acting organic nitrogen, bone meal, blood meal, feather meal, fish meal, natural humic acids, beneficial soil bacteria\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable Media:\u003c\/strong\u003e Soil and coco\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUse:\u003c\/strong\u003e Indoor and outdoor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Flowers, vegetables, herbs, trees and shrubs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication Depth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5-10cm into the medium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertification:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fully organic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BioTabs","offers":[{"title":"10","offer_id":53445709365514,"sku":null,"price":14.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"100","offer_id":53445709398282,"sku":null,"price":122.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"400","offer_id":53445709431050,"sku":null,"price":486.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0748\/7127\/5786\/files\/biotabs-1.jpg?v=1785337873","url":"https:\/\/hydrocropshop.co.uk\/products\/biotabs","provider":"Hydro Crop Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
