23.01.2022 Minerals and micro-organisms are the basis for soil health, plant health and human health and they are the essence of satisfying, problem-free productivity in the home garden. It’s not just about throwing on some nitrogen, phosphorus or potassium to feed up the plants, but rather it is a question of mineral balance. Similarly, the soil life equation involves more than applying lawn clipping compost to regenerate your microbe workforce. Poor yield, unhealthy plants as well as pest and disease pressure are invariably symptoms of imbalance. From a mineral perspective, imbalance is most commonly linked to a lack of calcium and some of the key trace minerals, or it can be related to an excess of phosphorus and potassium from over-application of chicken manure fertilisers.

21.01.2022 Before and after - We are very happy (and so is our client!) with the health and fast growth of this lawn we laid only 2 months ago... now you can't even see the joins. We laid this in the middle of winter, using all organic products to get the life going in the soil.

13.01.2022 Coming into spring, get the most out of your fruit trees this year... The product of the month is Organic Bloom. WHY? Plants and trees that bear fruit, flowers and vegetables require potassium. A lack of potassium can reduce the quality, quantity and health of produce and make plants more susceptible to disease. Organic Blooms offers a highly available form of potassium which all plants can easily access. How: Dilute 1 capful (15 mL) into a 9 L watering can and wet s...oil thoroughly. Avoid sensitive foliage. $18.50 for a 1L bottle. Send me a message if you would like to purchase.

11.01.2022 Going away for the holidays? Don't forget your indoor plants still need love! Has anyone ever tried this trick? A favourite self-watering hack is making an irrigator from an empty wine bottleit's super simple to do. Start by drilling 3-4 small holes in the lid of a twist-off wine bottle. Then, fill the bottle with water and place the lid back on the bottle. Invert the wine bottle into your potted plant to keep it perfectly irrigated for longer periods of time.

Sprinkle around tree crops and existing plantings. Blend the fertiliser into the topsoil for new planting areas. Blend 15 grams of Life Force Gold per litre of potting media. Where: Life Force Gold is ideal for your vegetable gardens, fruit trees, lawns, exotic or ornamental gardens and pot plants. Avoid over-application on natives.
