De-nat Advanced Insect Shield - 10KG

De-nat utilizes natural earth minerals (silica compounds) to prevent soil pests and improve substrate quality. Diatomaceous Earth (DE) creates an effective barrier at the top of the substrate with abrasive properties to deter fungus nat (Sciarid fly). De-nat is comprised of specially sized DE particles that control nat and other various pests at different points in their lifecycles.

De-nat is made from ancient fossilized remains of a unique sea-kelp. This naturally refined compound provides many benefits for your garden. Not only for protecting plant roots, De-nat provides a natural source of silica and increases substrate aeration, while reducing compaction. De-nat also improves nutrient uptake and microbial activity, whilst acting as a thermal barrier against fluctuations in substrate temperature.

How to apply:

• add a layer of 3cm of De-nat on top of the substrate
• Make sure all growing media (substrate) is fully covered at all times
• Re-apply during the growing cycle to keep this physical barrier intact
• Irrigate with care to avoid disturbing the protective layer of De-nat

Secondary usage: Mix with cocoa or peat substrate as a natural improved alternative to perlite.
