Unlock the true potential of your food with Florifi's Mediterranean Herb Blend, a nutrient-dense, 100% plant-based solution designed for the modern grower. This vegan friendly soil amendment provides a sustainable, ethical, and highly effective alternative to traditional animal-based fertilizers. By combining high protein botanical meals with volcanic Basalt, we’ve created a "living soil" powerhouse that respects the environment while delivering professional-grade results.

Optimized for Mediterranean & Sun-Loving Herbs

Not all plants feed the same way. Florifi,s Mediterranean Herb Blend is specifically formulated to enhance the essential oil production and terpene profiles of culinary herbs. By including volcanic Basalt, we mimic the mineral dense, rocky soils of the Mediterranean coast, providing the trace elements that woody herbs require for peak aromatic intensity.

Ingredients

  • Alfalfa & Full-Fat, GMO-Free Soybean Meal: These are our primary Nitrogen sources. Alfalfa contains Triacontanol, a natural growth stimulant, while the healthy fats in the Soybean meal provide a long-lasting energy source for beneficial soil fungi.
  • Diastatic Malted Barley: This is the "biological spark." Packed with active enzymes like Chitinase and Protease, it helps break down organic matter and recycle nutrients, making them available to your herbs exactly when they need them.
  • Flaxseed Meal: A unique addition that provides essential fatty acids and proteins, acting as a "superfood" for the microbial life that protects your plant’s root zone.

Volcanic & Ancient Minerals

  • Basalt Rock Dust: Sourced from volcanic deposits, Basalt provides over 70 trace minerals. It is highly paramagnetic, which helps pull nutrients toward the roots and mimics the fertile, mineral-dense soils of the Mediterranean coast.
  • Wollastonite: A vegan-friendly source of Calcium and Silica. Silica is the "armor" of the plant world, strengthening cell walls to help your Basil and Dill resist heat stress and pests.
  • Micronised Rock Phosphate: A slow-release, finely ground Phosphorus source that ensures your herbs develop deep, resilient taproots and vibrant, aromatic flowers.

Coastal Vitality

  • Seaweed (Kelp): Rich in cytokinins and auxins, seaweed acts as a natural stress-reliever. It helps your herbs bounce back from heavy harvesting or dry spells.
  • Sulphate of Potash: A clean, chloride-free source of Potassium and Sulfur. This is the key to the "essential" in essential oils—it maximizes the scent, flavor, and medicinal potency of your harvest.

Herbs that thrive with this blend include:

  • Rosemary & Lavender: The Basalt and Wollastonite provide the silica and minerals needed for strong, woody stems and high fragrance.
  • Thyme & Oregano: These herbs love the mineral diversity provided by our rock phosphate and seaweed.
  • Basil & Sage: The high nitrogen from Alfalfa and Soybean meal encourages lush leaf growth without synthetic salts.
  • Bay Laurel & Marjoram: The slow-release nature of the botanical meals provides long-term stability for perennial herbs.
  • Parsley & Corriander: These leafy heavy-feeders love the steady Nitrogen from our Alfalfa and Soybean meals for continuous harvesting.
  • Dill & Fennel: The Silica from Wollastonite and Basalt provides the structural strength these tall, airy plants need to stay upright.

The Science of the Blend: Premium Plant-Based Ingredients

What sets the Mediterranean Herb Blend apart is our commitment to "Soil-First" nutrition. Instead of using synthetic salts that can bypass your plant's natural systems, we use a sophisticated array of botanical meals and volcanic minerals to create a self-sustaining ecosystem.

To get the best results from the Mediterranean Herb Blend, it is important to remember that this is a living soil amendment. It works best when in direct contact with moisture and soil biology.

Here is a guide on how to apply the blend for different gardening scenarios.

Pro-Tips for Success

  • Don't over-apply: Because this blend contains high-protein Soybean meal, applying too much in a small, unventilated space can sometimes create a temporary fermentation smell. Stick to the recommended doses!
  • Storage: Keep your Mediterranean Herb Blend in a cool, dry, and dark place. The malted barley contains live enzymes that will stay potent longer if kept away from moisture and high heat.

Simple Application

Whether you're potting up supermarket herbs or tending an established outdoor bed, the Mediterranean Herb Blend is straightforward to use and works with your existing routine.

For top-dressing, scratch the blend gently into the top few inches of soil and water in thoroughly. The botanical meals and volcanic minerals get to work immediately, feeding soil biology and releasing nutrients at the root zone.

For new soil mixes, blend thoroughly into your potting media before planting. For best results, mix a week ahead and keep the soil slightly moist, this gives the Malted Barley enzymes time to pre-digest nutrients so your herbs hit the ground running.

How to Use Florifi Mediterranean Herb Blend

Fueling Your Growth: From Windowsill Pots to Outdoor Herb Beds

The Mediterranean Herb Blend is a versatile soil amendment for any scale of herb growing, whether you're nurturing a few pots on a sunny windowsill or maintaining a sprawling outdoor herb garden. Its combination of botanical meals, volcanic minerals, and active enzymes makes it the ideal foundation for consistent, aromatic, flavour-rich growth.

Method 1: Top-Dress Application

Perfect for established herbs in pots, raised beds, or the ground.

  • Dosage: Apply 1 tablespoon per 5 litres of soil. Scratch gently into the top 2–3 inches.
  • Frequency: Heavy feeders (Basil, Parsley, Dill) every 4–6 weeks; woody herbs (Rosemary, Thyme, Lavender) once in early spring and once in mid-summer.
  • Activation: Water in thoroughly after application to activate the botanical meals and kickstart microbial breakdown.

Method 2: Botanical Tea (Quick-Release Boost)

Ideal for a fast-acting nutrient lift when herbs look pale or stressed.

  • The Mix: Add 2 tablespoons per 5 litres of unchlorinated water.
  • The Steep: Stir and leave for 12–24 hours, stirring occasionally.
  • Application: Pour the liquid and sediment directly onto the root zone for an immediate biological recharge.
  • Why it works: Brewing the blend into a tea accelerates nutrient availability, delivering growth regulators and minerals straight to the rhizosphere without waiting for slow-release breakdown.

Method 3: New Soil Mixes & Potting Blends

The ultimate starting point for new containers, raised beds, and herb gardens.

When building a new growing space or refreshing tired potting media, the Mediterranean Herb Blend acts as a long-term nutrient foundation — seeding the mix with enzymes, minerals, and organic matter that support root colonisation and beneficial fungal growth from day one.

  • For Potting Mixes: Blend 2 tablespoons per 5 litres of potting media. Mix evenly so roots encounter active nutrition in every direction.
  • The "Cook" Period: For best results, moisten after blending and allow the mix to rest for one week before planting. This stabilises biological activity and lets the Malted Barley enzymes begin pre-digesting nutrients before your herbs go in.
  • Why it works: Integrating the blend directly into the mix ensures volcanic minerals and botanical growth stimulants are available at the root zone from the start, leading to stronger stems, more resilient plants, and a more intense harvest.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about Florifi Mediterranean Herb Blend

Yes — it's specifically formulated for Mediterranean and sun-loving herbs, but works well across the board. Woody herbs like Rosemary, Thyme, and Lavender benefit from the Basalt and Wollastonite minerals, while leafy heavy-feeders like Basil, Parsley, and Dill thrive on the steady nitrogen from the Alfalfa and Soybean meals. Whatever you're growing, there's something in the blend working for it.

Because the blend contains high-protein Soybean meal, over-application in small, unventilated spaces can occasionally produce a temporary fermentation smell. Stick to the recommended doses and ensure good airflow, and this won't be an issue. The smell dissipates quickly as the soil biology gets to work.

Keep it in a cool, dry, and dark place with the bag tightly sealed. The Diastatic Malted Barley in the blend contains live enzymes that remain most potent when kept away from moisture and heat. Proper storage ensures every application delivers the full biological benefit.
