Malt germs – what are they actually?

What are malt germs?

Malt germs are a byproduct of malting - a process in which grain, usually barley, is germinated for use in beer or whiskey production. During this germination process, the grain develops valuable nutrients and enzymes that are useful both in the brewing process and as fertilizers that benefit not only the plants but also the soil.

🌾 Why malt sprouts are ideal for Love Living Soil

Love Living Soil is based on promoting and preserving natural soil life. Microorganisms, fungi and other soil organisms work together to release nutrients and pass them on to the plants. Malt germs support this process in a unique way.

1. Promotion of microorganisms Contains malt germs Enzymes and amino acids that stimulate the growth of microorganisms in the soil. These microorganisms are crucial for breaking down nutrients and ensuring that your plants can access the nutrients more easily. A living soil that is full of beneficial bacteria and fungi not only promotes plant growth, but also ensures better soil structure.

2. Natural source of nutrients Malt germs are rich in Nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus and other important nutrients that are essential for the growth of your plants. These nutrients are released slowly so that they are available to the plants over a longer period of time. Nitrogen in particular promotes leaf growth and ensures a rich green color.

3. Support root formation The natural growth substances in the malt germs, such as Auxins and Cytokinins support root formation. Strong roots mean that your plants can absorb water and nutrients more efficiently. A strong root system is also more resistant to drought and stress.

4. Improvement of soil structure Malt germs not only promote plant growth, but also have a positive effect on the Soil structure By activating microorganisms and fungi, the soil becomes looser and can store water better. This means that less watering is needed and the soil stays moist even in dry periods.

5. Environmentally friendly and sustainable Malt germs are a Byproduct of the brewing industry that would otherwise remain unused. By using it as fertilizer, this natural product is sensibly recycled and promotes the sustainable use of resources. In addition, malt germ fertilizer is completely organic and contains no chemicals or synthetic additives, which makes it ideal for use in organic gardening.

Conclusion: The perfect addition to your Living Soil

Malt germs are a valuable, sustainable fertilizer that fits perfectly into the concept of LivingSoil They promote soil life, provide important nutrients and improve soil structure in a natural way. Malt sprouts are an indispensable tool, especially in organic and regenerative gardening.
