Frequently Asked Questions

What is Food2Soil's All-Purpose Biofertiliser and how does it work?

All-Purpose Biofertiliser is a natural, microbe-rich biofertiliser crafted from recycled organic food and coffee waste. This powerful inoculant delivers billions of live beneficial microbes directly into your soil. These microbes enhance nutrient uptake, stimulate root development, and support strong, healthy plants. By improving soil health and boosting the activity of both fungal and bacterial communities, this fertiliser strengthens your plants’ resilience to stress, drought, and disease—naturally reducing the need for chemical pesticides and synthetic fertilisers. Ideal for any garden, this microbial biofertiliser promotes long-term soil enrichment, thriving ecosystems, and sustainable growing practices.

How do I apply All-Purpose Biofertiliser?

Dilute the All-Purpose Biofertiliser liquid with water, following label instructions. Apply it directly to the soil at the plant’s base or as a foliar spray using a watering can or spray bottle. For best results, use every 2–4 weeks throughout the growing season. Regular application introduces beneficial microbes, that enhance nutrient uptake, promote root growth, and improve plant resilience. The biofertiliser’s high organic material content helps enrich your soil, reducing reliance on synthetic fertilisers and improving microbial balance. It fosters a living soil system that supports fungal networks, suppresses harmful insects and pathogens, and encourages regenerative growing practices.

Is it safe for pets and the environment?

Yes! All-Purpose Biofertiliser is entirely safe for pets and pollinators, like bees, when instructions are followed. Made from 100% recycled organic material, this eco-friendly biofertiliser contains no synthetic additives, making it the perfect choice for environmentally conscious gardeners who care about sustainability and soil health.

Can I use it on all types of plants?

Absolutely. Whether you're growing vegetables, fruit trees, herbs, ornamentals, Australian natives, lawns, or indoor plants, All-Purpose Biofertiliser supports healthy growth across all plant types. Its diverse microbial blend adapts to various soils, enhancing nutrient availability, boosting plant growth, and fostering fungal and bacterial balance in any garden or food production setting.

What makes this fertiliser different from others?

Unlike conventional fertilisers, All-Purpose Biofertiliser is alive with beneficial microbes that actively improve soil health, enrich the rhizosphere, and maximise nutrient uptake. It’s made sustainably in Australia from diverted food waste, making it both eco-friendly and effective. This living biofertiliser acts as a natural inoculant, introducing plant growth promoting organisms that restore soil vitality, reduce pesticide reliance, and align with good growing and regenerative agricultural practices.

Does Food2Soil help prevent 'damping-off' in seedlings?

Yes. The beneficial microbes in Food2Soil All Purpose Biofertiliser help suppress the fungi that cause damping-off, a common issue that leads to sudden seedling collapse. Using a 1:1 drench at sowing provides strong early protection.

What dilution should I use for seed soaking or drenching?

Use a 1:1 dilution (equal parts Food2Soil All Purpose Biofertiliser and water). This provides dense microbial activity around the seed.

Can I soak all seeds?

Only larger seeds. Fine seeds should be sown first, then watered in with the 1:1 mix of Food2Soil All Purpose Biofertiliser.

How long should large seeds be soaked?

Just a few minutes—long soaks aren’t needed because the biology acts quickly in Food2Soil All Purpose Biofertiliser.

What about after the seeds sprout?

Switch to the standard 1:100 dilution for ongoing feeding and microbial support. This helps develop a strong root system and continues to reduce fungal issues.

Will the 1:1 mixture harm delicate seedlings?

No. The 1:1 dilution of Food2Soil All Purpose Biofertiliser is used only before germination. After sprouting, moving to 1:100 provides a balanced nutrient and microbe level for healthy growth.

A plant rejuvenator

I began using Food2 Soil on my balcony garden and indoor plants roughly 6 weeks ago.I used 1st the fertiliser followed 2 weeks later by the seaweed soil conditioner, the subsequent improvement in the health of my plants both indoor and outdoor is noticeable even after a relatively short time.

Greener healthier plants.

AfterI putting it on my plants, I noticed a difference after a week. Everything became greener and healthier and the leaves enlarged and multiplied. My recently planted rescued passionfruit vine sprang to life.

Good stuff I guess

I asked my plants what they thought about Food2Soil and they said... Nothing because my plants can't talk.
But I think it's pretty good.

Loving Food2Soil after just a few months

I'm an avid home gardener (veggies and herbs mostly) began using Food2soil in late September, toward the end of Winter - I can already visibly see how much more life, vibrancy, strength and growth my plants are experiencing!
I recently moved house and don't have much in the way of compost/worm castings set up here, so to be able to easily, quickly and affordably get my hands on this nutrient dense product and see results is amazing! This week I tried soaking my tomato seedlings in a dilute before planting out, and haven't lost any of the transplants so far, I usually do! So far so good and I'll be ordering a bigger bottle next time to use year-round.

Thanks so much!

Top product!

This is my second bottle of Food2Soil. I've come to rely on this product a lot in my stash of must-have gardening products. My only complaint is that 200ml per 10L bucket is a lot of product, and a small container does not go far. I would like to see it offered in a concentrated form, as currently I have to be selective about where and how often to use it. My order would have to be on an almost weekly rotation if I was to use it on all of my plants - and that's just not sustainable going forward. That said, I am experiencing great results in the veggie patch but would like to extend the application to my potted fruit trees and perennial borders. Fingers crossed a solution will be forthcoming in the new year.

Excellent Product!l

I purchased 2 of this product months ago and I was amazed at the growth improvement in my vegie garden as well as my flower gardens. I have been using a seaweed product for a long time but food2soil product proved how much the soil needed to improve.
I spoke to Josie on Friday and she was lovely to communicate with.
I've just ordered 2 more and looking forward to my delivery as the lack of rain is proving challenging.
