Frequently Asked Questions
What makes HardyGro different from other fertilizer brands?
HardyGro focuses on soil biology, not just plant feeding. Our products are powered by beneficial microbes and organic biostimulants that work with nature to regenerate your soil, increase nutrient availability, and boost long-term plant health—without synthetic chemicals.
Are HardyGro products safe for pets, children, and pollinators?
Yes! Our products are people-, pet-, and pollinator-friendly. We use naturally derived inputs and microbials that improve soil health without harmful residues, making them safe for use in lawns, gardens, and landscapes where your family lives and plays.
Can HardyGro products be used in organic farming?
Absolutely. Many of our soil amendments and microbial inoculants are OMRI-listed or compliant with USDA Organic standards. They're a perfect fit for organic, regenerative, or hybrid systems looking to reduce synthetic inputs and improve sustainability.
What types of crops or plants can I use HardyGro on?
Our solutions work across a wide range of plants—including home gardens, turfgrass, greenhouse crops, row crops, orchards, vineyards, cannabis, and hemp. We have formulas specifically designed for each type of grower, from backyard gardeners to commercial farms.
Do your soil amendments contain living microbes?
Yes! Many of our products contain live, beneficial microbes such as *Bacillus*, *Mycorrhizae*, and other biofertilizer strains that colonize the root zone and improve 0nutrient cycling, root development, and disease resistance.
How do HardyGro microbial inoculants work?
Microbial inoculants introduce beneficial organisms into the soil that break down organic matter, fix nitrogen, solubilize phosphorus, and support plant growth. They create a living soil ecosystem that helps plants access more nutrients naturally.
Will your products help my compacted, poor-quality, or dead soil?
Yes. Our regenerative products are specifically designed to restore damaged soils. By rebuilding microbial life and improving organic matter cycling, HardyGro helps break up compaction, improve water retention, and restore long-term fertility.
How often should I apply HardyGro products?
It depends on the product and crop. Many of our microbial inoculants are applied at planting, while biostimulants and soil amendments can be used every few weeks during the growing season. Each product has detailed instructions on the label or product page.
Can I use HardyGro in containers or raised beds?
Yes! Our products work great in pots, raised beds, and other container systems. They enhance microbial activity and nutrient uptake even in small, confined growing environments like patio gardens or urban farms.
