Ecothrive Soil Food Re-Gen 5kg is an organic powdered soil amendment specifically formulated to restore and revitalise depleted living soil between crop cycles. Built around slow and medium-release organic and mineral inputs, Re-Gen replenishes nutrients, supports soil biology and prepares previously used growing media for productive reuse.
Living soil is designed to be reused rather than discarded after every crop. However, plants remove nutrients and minerals from the soil as they grow, meaning these reserves need to be replenished before the next planting.
Soil Food Re-Gen is Ecothrive's answer to this process. Rather than treating reused soil as a blank growing medium, Re-Gen is designed to replace what the previous crop has removed while maintaining the biological ecosystem that has developed within the soil.
Its standout ingredient is olivine, a naturally occurring magnesium iron silicate that steadily releases magnesium and silicon. This is combined with bone meal, Ecothrive Charge mealworm frass and micronised rock phosphate to provide long-lasting nutrition and support biologically active soil.
Apply Re-Gen after harvest during soil preparation. For indoor containers and living soil beds, Ecothrive recommends 2-4g per litre of soil. For depleted outdoor soil, apply 400-600g per m².

Designed to keep living soil productive crop after crop
One of the major advantages of living soil cultivation is that the growing medium does not have to be thrown away after every harvest.
A mature living soil contains an established physical structure and biological ecosystem. Reusing that soil allows growers to retain these characteristics while avoiding the cost and waste associated with repeatedly replacing large volumes of growing media.
The challenge is nutrition. Each crop removes nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium and other elements from the soil. Unless those reserves are replenished, the following crop starts with progressively less fertility.
Soil Food Re-Gen is formulated specifically for this between-crop stage, helping restore the nutritional foundation while allowing the soil itself to remain in use.
Olivine for long-term magnesium & silicon
The standout ingredient in Soil Food Re-Gen is olivine, a naturally occurring magnesium iron silicate selected by Ecothrive for its long-term behaviour within living soil.
Rather than providing a rapid spike of soluble nutrition, olivine releases magnesium and silicon steadily over time.
Magnesium for chlorophyll production
Magnesium is an essential plant nutrient and a central component of chlorophyll. Replenishing magnesium reserves helps prepare reused soil to support healthy photosynthetic growth in the following crop.
Silicon for stronger plant structure
Silicon can accumulate within plant tissues and contribute to structural strength and resilience. Ecothrive uses olivine to provide a gradual source of silicon as part of the soil's long-term mineral reserve.
This slow-release behaviour is particularly well suited to living soil, where the objective is to maintain balanced fertility over time rather than create short-lived nutrient peaks.
What's in Ecothrive Soil Food Re-Gen?
Re-Gen combines four principal ingredients selected to restore depleted living soil and provide a foundation for the next crop.
Olivine
A magnesium iron silicate providing a steady source of magnesium and silicon for long-term soil fertility and future plant development.
Bone meal
A slow-release organic source of nitrogen and phosphorus that helps replenish nutrients removed during the previous crop.
Mealworm frass - Ecothrive Charge
Ecothrive's mealworm frass contributes organic nutrition while helping revitalise microbial populations and biological activity within the soil.
Micronised rock phosphate
Provides a mineral phosphorus reserve to help replenish soil fertility and maintain phosphorus availability through subsequent crop cycles.
Rebuild fertility without abandoning your soil biology
Living soil is more than a physical growing medium. It functions as a biological ecosystem in which microorganisms contribute to decomposition, nutrient cycling and the conversion of organic materials into plant-available forms.
Replacing the entire soil after every crop means replacing an ecosystem that has already had time to establish.
Re-Gen is designed around a different approach: retain the soil and replenish what the crop has removed.
Mealworm frass provides an organic input that supports biological activity, while the mineral and organic nutrient sources help restore fertility for continued cultivation.
How to use Ecothrive Soil Food Re-Gen
Soil Food Re-Gen should be applied after harvest and before replanting.
For indoor pots and living soil beds, use 2-4g per litre of soil. For larger containers or beds, calculate the application according to the volume of soil being regenerated within approximately the top 20-25cm.
Blend the required quantity thoroughly into the depleted soil and water thoroughly after application.
Ecothrive recommends using the lower end of the range where the previous crop showed relatively little depletion and the higher end where the soil has been more heavily exhausted.
For smaller containers that can be emptied easily, the soil can be removed and thoroughly remixed with Re-Gen before being returned to the pot.
Using Soil Food Re-Gen outdoors
Re-Gen can also be used to restore depleted outdoor garden soil.
Ecothrive recommends 400-600g per m² for depleted outdoor soil.
Work the amendment into approximately the top 20-25cm of soil and water thoroughly afterwards.
This deeper incorporation distinguishes Re-Gen from a conventional surface top dressing. The objective is to rebuild fertility throughout the active upper soil profile before the next crop is established.
Part of the complete Ecothrive Soil Food system
Soil Food Re-Gen forms one part of Ecothrive's three-product organic powdered nutrient system for living soil.
Soil Food Grow
Used during vegetative development to replenish nutrition required for vigorous roots, stems and foliage.
Soil Food Bloom
Used as plants move into flowering and fruiting, with nutrition targeted towards the increased demands of the generative stage.
Soil Food Re-Gen
Used after harvest to restore depleted soil before the next crop begins.
The three products are intended to be used sequentially according to crop stage and soil condition rather than all being applied together.
How much soil will a 5kg bag regenerate?
At Ecothrive's indoor application rate of 2-4g per litre of soil, a 5kg bag provides substantial coverage for large pots and living soil beds.
At 2g/L, 5kg is sufficient for approximately 2,500 litres of soil.
At 4g/L, 5kg is sufficient for approximately 1,250 litres of soil.
For outdoor depleted soil at 400-600g per m², a 5kg bag covers approximately 8.3-12.5m², depending on the application rate selected.
A more sustainable approach to growing media
Soil Food Re-Gen is built around the principle that productive growing media should be maintained and reused rather than automatically discarded.
Reusing established living soil can reduce the quantity of new growing media required from crop to crop while preserving the structure and biological ecosystem already present.
Re-Gen replenishes the nutrients and minerals that cultivation removes, helping growers maintain productive soil over repeated cycles.
For larger living soil beds in particular, this can create a more practical and resource-efficient long-term cultivation system.
