AQUA DIRT™ Liquid Biochar

Smart carbon. Active roots. Living soil.

Standard Use:

  • Dilute at 5 mL per litre of water

    (1 teaspoon per litre)

  • Apply monthly or as required

  • Suitable for fertigation, drench, or tank mix

  • Always mix well before use

 

Product Description:

AQUA DIRT™ Liquid Biochar is a high-performance liquid carbon input designed to activate soils, stimulate root development, and improve nutrient efficiency from the very first application. It creates a carbon-charged scaffold around root hairs that retains moisture, nutrients, and beneficial microbes—forming a more dynamic, resilient rhizosphere.


What makes it unique is the preloaded biological profile:

  • Endomycorrhizae to foster symbiotic root expansion

  • Bacillus species to drive biological activity and soil aggregation

  • Crushed rock dust for long-term mineral replenishment

With an NPK ratio of 1:7:1, this formula supports transplanting, rooting, and early-stage growth—without disrupting your existing feeding program.

It is especially suited to growers who want to supercharge microbial life and improve soil function while maintaining precision and control.

 

Built-In Efficiency Gains:

Thanks to its high cation exchange capacity (CEC), the carbon matrix acts like a nutrient sponge, reducing leaching and holding key minerals at the root interface. Over time, this increases fertiliser efficiency and allows for gradual reduction in synthetic inputs—lowering costs while improving plant resilience and long-term soil health.

 

Key Benefits:

  • Fast-acting, bioavailable liquid carbon

  • Boosts microbial colonisation and root symbiosis

  • Improves nutrient uptake, retention, and delivery

  • Enhances soil structure and water-holding capacity

  • Strengthens root development and vegetative growth

  • Preloaded with beneficial fungi, bacteria, and trace minerals

  • Compatible with soil, coco, hydroponic systems, and compost

 

AQUA DIRT™ Liquid Biochar is not just an additive—it’s a live infrastructure for your root zone.
It’s designed to help your nutrients go further, stay longer, and build healthier plants from the ground up.

 

⚠️ Caution & Use Advisory:

1. Use with a Balanced Feeding Schedule

AQUA DIRT™ Liquid Biochar contains a 1:7:1 NPK ratio, with a moderate phosphorus load. It’s designed to support—not replace—your base nutrients.

Do not combine with additional high-phosphorus products unless you’re adjusting your program accordingly.


2. Risk of Phosphorus Lockout (Especially in Coco)

In coco coir and soilless media, excess phosphorus can bind with other minerals like calcium or iron, forming insoluble compounds that lead to nutrient lockout.

Avoid overfeeding, especially when coco is over-dry or paired with bloom boosters.


3. Watch for Early Signs of Imbalance

Too much phosphorus can block uptake of other nutrients like iron, zinc, and copper.

Look out for: 

  • Yellowing between leaf veins (chlorosis)

  • Purpling of stems or leaves

  • Stunted growth despite adequate feeding


4. Reduce Rate for Young Plants or Sensitive Systems

For seedlings, cuttings, or early-stage growth:

Start at 2–3 mL/L before moving up to the full 5 mL/L rate.


5. Monitor EC in Recirculating Systems

In hydro or coco-based systems, nutrient retention is amplified.

Track EC levels and flush occasionally if salt buildup occurs.
