The power of #guano doesnβt stop there, it works great as a #soil conditioner, improves drainage and texture!
It works as a natural fungicide that controls nematodes in the soil and speeds up decomposition.
πThe benefits are endless!

Nitrogen is an excellent nutrient to encourage rapid and green growth in #plants , while other #nutrients found in #guano like phosphorus are great at promoting root growth and flowering and potassium which is great at strengthening stems.
