Safe Gardening
Build healthy soil before planting. Feed growing plants with care. Learn where Thriva fits, why manure treatment matters, and what recent produce outbreaks can teach us about protecting a harvest.
Feed your plants through the growing season
Build your soil before planting. When your plants need extra nitrogen during active growth, reach for Thriva Boost Liquid. Its 5-0-0 formula supplies plant-available ammonium nitrogen, so plants can take it up without waiting for organic matter to break down.
Skip the unnecessary manure risk
Organic gardening still calls for careful choices. Raw manure and improperly treated manure-based compost can introduce illness-causing pathogens into your garden. Simply aging manure is not enough. Properly treated compost is much lower risk and remains a useful soil builder. Read Extension’s compost safety guidance.
Why add raw manure when your plants just need nitrogen? Thriva lets you meet that growing-season feeding need without another load of manure around your food crops.
Direct nutrition. Simple seasonal feeding.
Thriva’s nitrogen is recovered from dairy cow manure and delivered as a measured liquid concentrate. Use it according to the label when your crop needs supplemental nitrogen, alongside other nutrients your soil and plants require.
- Before planting: Build soil with properly treated compost from a trusted source.
- During growth: Feed with Thriva when extra nitrogen is needed.
- Through harvest: Use clean water and tools, and wash your hands and produce.
Direct feeding means plant-available nitrogen; soil microbes can use nitrogen too. Thriva is a fertilizer, not a treatment for pathogens. Learn how soil organisms cycle nutrients.
