BacTerra is a soluble bacillus inoculant from Easy As Organics that puts five strains of beneficial bacteria to work in your soil: Bacillus subtilis, megaterium, mucilaginosus, licheniformis and thuringiensis. Easy As formulates it to solubilise phosphorus and potassium, fix nitrogen, strengthen plant resistance to pests and disease, balance root-zone pH and help remediate heavy metal, pesticide and herbicide residues in soil. It suits living soil growers, organic gardeners and anyone treating seed media or transplants. A 400g pouch goes a long way, with rates from about 2g per litre for seed media. It is a biological, not a fertiliser, so pair it with organic amendments for the bacteria to work on.

Five Strains, One PouchMost bacillus products carry one or two strains. BacTerra carries five, each with a different job in the root zone.
Less Fertiliser DependencySolubilises phosphorus and potassium and fixes nitrogen, so plants get more out of the nutrients already in the soil.
Stronger Plant DefencesFormulated to boost plant immunity and resistance to pests and diseases from the roots up.
Balanced Root ZoneHelps balance root-zone pH, keeping conditions right for nutrient uptake and soil life.
Soil RemediationWorks to remediate heavy metals and pesticide and herbicide residues, useful when bringing tired garden soil back.
Seed To Established PlantPublished rates for seed treatment, transplant drenches, bulk media and direct application at planting.

Grower's Tip
  • Use dechlorinated water. Chlorine is there to kill bacteria, so let tap water stand overnight or use rainwater before mixing.
  • Mix it and use it the same day. Live biology in a bucket does not wait around.
  • Feed the bacteria. BacTerra works on organic matter, so it shines alongside dry amendments, worm castings and compost.
  • Pair it with MycoBiome at transplant. Bacteria and mycorrhizal fungi do different jobs in the root zone and work well together.
  • Keep it away from fungicides and harsh sterilants in the same drench. They will knock back the biology you just added.
  • Store the pouch sealed, cool and dry between uses.

How To Use It
1Seed treatment: dissolve 2g (about 2 tsp) per litre of water and soak your seed raising media before sowing.
2Transplanting: dissolve 2.5g (about 2.5 tsp) per litre of water and drench the root zone after planting out.
3Bulk media: mix 75g evenly through every 10L of soil or potting mix, then water in.
4Direct application: sprinkle 1 tsp into the planting hole at the transplant site, set the plant in and water well.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is BacTerra a fertiliser?

No. It is a biological inoculant. The bacteria make nutrients in the soil more available and fix nitrogen, but they need organic matter and amendments to work on.

Which bacteria are in it?

Five bacillus strains: Bacillus subtilis, megaterium, mucilaginosus, licheniformis and thuringiensis.

How much do I use?

It depends on the job: 2g per litre for seed treatment, 2.5g per litre as a transplant drench, 75g per 10L of bulk media, or 1 tsp direct at the transplant site.

Can I use it with mycorrhizal fungi?

Yes. Bacillus bacteria and mycorrhizal fungi do different jobs and work alongside each other. MycoBiome is the Easy As partner product.

Can I use it in hydroponics?

No, it is not designed for it. Easy As publishes rates for soil, potting mix and seed media, and that is where we recommend using it.

Will it help plants resist pests and disease?

Yes, that is one of its roles. Easy As formulates BacTerra to boost plant immunity and resistance to pests and diseases. It supports plant health rather than acting as a pesticide, so keep up your usual monitoring.

Growers First, Retailers Second

Welcome to The Grow Guys

We built The Grow Guys from the soil up — well, coco and perlite. Before we sold gear, we bought it, ran it, and learned the hard way what's worth the money and what ends up in the shed. That's the filter everything on our shelves passes through. No sales scripts, no rebadged junk, no telling you what you want to hear. Just gear we'd run ourselves and advice from people who actually grow. Chasing higher yields, tighter flowers, or your first harvest? You're in the right place.
