BAMBOO OASIS 8-2-6 is specially formulated to grow beautiful ornamental grasses with strong culms including bamboo, pampas, feather, fountain, muhly and many more. Made for the watering can and foliar sprayer, this blend makes it easy to supply a complete nutrient profile with beneficial microbes. Mycorrhizal fungi enhance and protect roots, Azospirillum bacteria convert air into useable nitrogen and several strains of Bacillus bacteria make nutrients available faster. Mix with water alone or enhance further with Root Love.

    Pairs With

    Use with Root Love to amplify benefits and soil biodiversity.

    Use after repotting with Fertile Ground or Desert Dessert to maintain soil fertility for years without repotting.

    Apply Desert Dessert every 6-12 months while using Desert Dust biweekly for exceptional results!

    Application Rates & Coverage Area

    MIX WELL AND AGITATE/STIR DURING USE. For easier dilution, pre-mix Desert Dust by creating a concentrated solution then adding to your total volume of water needed for coverage.

    SOIL DRENCH
    Biweekly: Use 0.5 - 1.5 tsp per quart of water.
    (2 tsp - 2 tbsp per gal)
    Monthly: Use 1 - 3 tsp per quart of water.
    (4 tsp - 4 tbsp per gal)
    Optional: Add 1-2 oz Root Love to increase biodiversity and soil vitality.

    Use up to max dosage anytime during periods of expected plant growth.
    Use minimum dosage during periods of dormancy to maintain the soil ecosystem and keep root systems protected.

    PRE-FERMENTATION
    Beneficial bacteria populations will grow in the soil as they consume and convert fresh nutrients but will double in size about every 30 minutes with pre-fermentation. To preferment add ingredients to a container (Water plus Desert Dust alone or with Root Love) and allow them to ferment prior to soil or foliar application. Consistent aeration is important and can be accomplished in a few ways:

    1. Use a bucket and aquarium pump with hoses weighted to bottom of bucket. Let sit for 24 hours then apply.

    2. Without a pump using two containers (no lids). Every hour, pour solution from one container to other. The splashing will introduce fresh oxygen. Do this throughout the day for as long as you want (usually 4-12 hours) but do not leave sitting still over night.
