Q&A
- i'll need a 20kg bag of MO Bacter. I like that it's organic. you don't seem to have na 20kg bags at present so you're offering Turf Food Bionik instead. 1. Is it the same product? if not what's the difference? Can I use a normal lawn speader? I don't need an expensive one like the one you're advertising.
- Good afternoon, sorry for the delay in getting back to you. We have some stock of the 20kg Mo Bacter coming in tomorrow and some more the first week of June. We only recommend alternatives when we are having stock flow issues. If you are happy to wait, stock does come in regularly. Kind regards,
- In the description you say the ground temperature must be 10 degrees plus but in the table of distribution rates you say the temperature should be between 5 and 10 degrees.
- Thank you for taking the time to get clarification on this as we can use the feedback to amend our website. Mo Bacter is most effective when soil temperatures are above 10 degrees. Hope this helps. Kind regards, SW
- I have a very small lawn, so would only use a small amount in one season. Does the MObacter keep for use in the following couple of years, or will it deteriorate? Or is it possible to buy in smaller quantities? many thanks
- Good morning, Mo Bacter is available in 4kg, 10kg and 20kg sizes. The product will keep fine as long as it's stored in a cool, dry place. Hope this helps. Kind regards, SW
- Is Mo Bacter to be used annually ?
- Good morning, As an organic product Mo Bacter is dependent on ground temperature. It can be used all year round but usually only spring through to October where the ground temperature is above 10 degrees. We hope this helps but if you need anything else, our technical sales team can be contacted at sales@pitchcare.com. Kind regards, SW
