We have done it again, naturally innovating, we present you the new VGN – VEGANIC FERTILISER line. In this article we explain you more about it, what led us to create it, what products it includes, how to use them and much more. We hope you love it as much as we do!
What are VGN fertilisers? An eco-friendly revolution for your garden
The roots of the VGN line lie in the philosophy of the circular economy. We use different valuable plant residues as sources and transform them into top quality liquid fertilisers approved for organic farming by the Control Union.
Also, these new fertilisers foster a thriving soil life thanks to their richness in diverse organic molecules while providing plant-available nutrients. A healthy soil life is the foundation for healthy plants!
The higher the complex organic molecule content, the better it will feed the soil life. This supports healthier plants, fragrant flowers, and flavourful fruits – taste and feel the difference for yourself!
Why use VGN liquid VEGANIC fertilisers?
With this line we sought to connect innovation with sustainability. We wanted to create solutions for you and your crops, while taking care of the planet. Harvest results, in an environmentally friendly way, thanks to VGN:
● Certified as Organic Input for Organic Farming.
● Supports a healthy soil life.
● Nutrients are easily degradable.
● Rooted on the circular economy philosophy.
● Nutrients directly available for the plant.
Now you can taste & feel the difference for yourself!
Feed the soil while nourishing the plant!
Why is it so important to maintain the microbial life of the soil? Isn’t it the bacteria and fungi that infect my plant and make it sick?
Well, the answer to this last question is both yes and no. Of course, there are pathogenic bacteria and fungi that cause plant diseases such as root rot, etc. They are almost always present, but not always creating problems. This is because they need a number of conditions to do so. In order to prevent their proliferation and the associated problems, you need to maintain the root environment at an optimum state. Good oxygenation will do most of the work, and to achieve this, manage irrigation correctly and avoid waterlogging is key.
But we must not forget the beneficial micro-organisms.
Which is the role of beneficial bacteria? There are many!
● Improving plant nutrition.
● Defence against biotic and abiotic stress.
● Plant hormone regulation.
● The presence of beneficial micro-organisms displaces pathogenic micro-organisms and keeps their populations under control.
Maintaining a healthy and diverse microbial life therefore has many benefits. To maintain this ecosystem, keeping the substrate well aerated and oxygenated is essential. Once you can ensure this and avoid waterlogging, you can use products that contain organic matter and other compounds that can be degraded by bacteria. VGN products’ recipe contains amino acids, sugars, and other organic compounds. These complex organic molecules enrich the soil. As a result, plants will use less energy to support beneficial micro-organisms because the fertiliser is doing it for them!
This extra energy is used to perform vital plant functions such as growth, flowering, and fruiting. The result? Healthier plants, more fragrant flowers, and tastier fruits.
What makes VGN different? Great quality ingredients!
VGN nutrients are made from with by-products of the agri-food industry and all the ingredients have been checked and approved by Control Union as organic inputs for organic farming.
As a result, we have effective, environmentally friendly, and easy to use fertilisers. They are soluble in water, and by adding them to the watering, you will nourish and hydrate your plants in just one step.

“Who am I?
I’m the CALMAG supplement that will help you get rid of Ca/Mg deficiencies by supplying these elements. I combine great with the rest of the members of the team.”
Usually, the exact composition of the tap water we use is uncertain. We cannot rely on it as the only source of calcium and magnesium. If you grow with soft tap water, rainwater, or reverse osmosis, then the use of calcium and magnesium supplements is almost mandatory.
As you know, Calcium and Magnesium are vital elements for cell walls, cell production and photosynthesis. Everything a plant needs for robust growth and successful flowering!
This product blends the finest ingredients, checked by Control Union and approved for Organic Farming. All without introducing nitrogen! VGN CALMAG will not change the NPK ratio of your nutrient solution. Use it to correct solution imbalances and deficits in an easy, accurate, and natural way.
What a great team, isn’t it?
Get the most out of the new VGN line: How to use the products?
You can combine all four VGN products and adjust them to your plant’s needs! See the grow guide below and learn how to elevate your gardening experience.
To prepare the mixture, simply follow these steps:
1. Fill your watering can halfway with this water.
2. Add the desired amount of fertiliser.
3. Fill up the rest of the watering can with tap or rainwater.
4. Your solution is now ready to use!
A consideration to bear in mind is that all the dosages above are just indications! The exact dosage will depend on different things like plant type and condition, environment, and lightning. Also, it is worth to note that these fertilisers, due to their organic nature are less suitable for irrigation systems because they can cause odours & biofilm.
How do I keep my VGN fertilisers in better condition for longer? Storage and usage tips.
Getting the most out of your new VGN fertilisers also means make them they last longer in the best conditions. This is why our storage and preservation tips are important. It’s as easy as following these recommendations:
● Transport and store them upright! This is very important because due to the organic nature of these liquids, we have included vented caps. Vent caps prevent pressure changes in the bottle. You must keep the bottle in an upright position to prevent the cap from clogging and malfunctioning.
● Kept away from direct sunlight and stored between 15°C and 25°C. Some ingredients are sensitive to sunlight and higher temperatures will negatively impact the shelf life of the product. Unopened bottles can be kept for a long time, when opened you can extend the shelf life by storing the opened bottle in cold storage between 5°C and 10°C, if possible.
● Always remember to shake well before using. Some ingredients can settle at the bottom of the bottle after standing for a long time.
● Use clean utensils to keep them free of contaminants and keep them in tip-top condition for longer!
