What sets them apart from other fertilizers on the market?

The urban farmers at Vers la Terre are proud to present the first range of living liquid & solid plant care fertilizers for the health and happiness of plants. While others are (rightly) concerned with animal welfare, we're concerned with plant welfare J

Garden In Love, a biofermented fertilizer dedicated to flowering and fruiting, is the first biofertilizer in the collection to be released. We are also working on growth-boosting percolates, etc., to be released in 2021

Our living biofertilizers are ideal for urban gardening (balconies, houseplants, small plots), amateur gardening, as well as for market gardeners and horticulturists.

We call them "living" because their active ingredients, 100% plant-based, have remarkable life-giving properties. Let's take a closer look:
- 1 million bacteria per 10-gram spoonful, micro-organisms derived naturally from fermentation (for Garden in Love)
- Simple, 100% natural formulas
- Natural plant NPK in balanced proportions (according to biofertilizers), of the highest quality: potassium for flower and fruit production and enlargement, soluble phosphorus of plant origin for rooting and stress response, assimilable organic nitrogen in the form of amino acids.
-Packed with essential micronutrients of plant origin: vitamins, antioxidants, peptides to stimulate plant growth potential.
- Accepted in organic farming.
- Clean / Propre: all ingredients are accepted in organic farming. No heavy metals or pesticide residues
- Zero waste: the main components of our fertilizers are all derived from agricultural by-products (unused materials mistakenly considered as waste) or from vermicompost produced by the worms in our vermicompost farm.)
- Zero plastic (with the exception of bottle caps - we're still looking for a solution): containers in colored glass bottles, packaging in recycled and compostable cardboard.
- Save my planet: zero waste, zero plastic.
- French manufacturing AND harvesting (90% minimum harvest)

Our fertilizers are all Made in France and lovingly packaged in our urban farm in Pézenas (Hérault).

But unlike many liquid fertilizers on the market, they are French from harvest to bottle!
- At least 90% of the plant matter is harvested in France. a maximum of 10% comes from nearby European countries;
- The organic chelated iron of natural origin contained in Garden in Love is used for human consumption. It is innovative because of its high bioavailability and acts in synergy with the vitamins produced during corn fermentation.
- Our printers, cardboard and glass suppliers are French.

All our fertilizers are guaranteed:
- Free from any animal matter (bone powder, blood, etc.)
- Designed for the profound well-being of plants: naturally stimulates their growth without any artificial devices or dubious "boosters". Ultra-natural nutrient supply. Takes into account their "holobiome" (see fermentation section below)

Did you know that when a tomato or basil leaf is succulent in taste and color, it's because it has been able to retain the bacterial and fungal microorganisms that live in symbiosis with the plant? They act as beneficial probiotics and contribute to the vitality of our intestinal flora, our second brain.

Let's take a closer look. Plants should not be seen as independent entities, but as the visible part of a complex plant-microbe-bacteria-mushroom meta-organism called the holobiome.

These microorganisms are the plant's symbionts, endophytic microorganisms with mutual benefits. These endophytes play a role in plants quite similar to that of the intestinal microbiota in animals and humans, which has long been unknown and underestimated by science. They have innate properties that potentially stimulate plant growth, or its resilience in the face of certain stresses. They are companions that must be preserved and that we can use for our greatest benefit.

The colonization of plants by symbiotic microbes fascinates modern science. It preserves crop yields by:
- Promoting shoot and root growth;
- Improving soil nutrient uptake and fixation;
- Contributing to more efficient nutrient use;
- Improving plant resistance to pests, diseases and abiotic stresses (drought, salt and other environmental stresses);
- Supporting plant photosynthesis.
