25.01.2022 Why do we mulch? Is it that important? When is the best time? What do I use? How do I mulch? Mulching serves several purposes. Mulch prevents the soil from drying out and keeps the soil moist, it can reduce watering by about 60 per cent. A well mulched garden will cope with the heat and the cold much better than an unmulched garden. It aids in keeping the soil cooler during summer and warmer during winter. Mulch also acts as a weed suppressor and one of the benefits of th...is, is that there are no weeds competing with your plants, for moisture and nutrition. Yes, it is critical to mulch. There is no comparison in the health, growth and flowers between a mulched and an unmulched garden. Always ensure that you do not have your mulch resting against the stems of plants. We recommend applying mulch as soon as the ground starts to warm up, but before it gets too hot. This will vary around the country, but ideally you want to capture the moisture of the soil from winter as well as the warmth of spring soil temperatures. There are so many choices around mulch and our mulch is called Whoflungdung. We unashamedly call it a super mulch. Whoflungdung is no ordinary mulch. It’s composted, biologically activated and contains nutrients. It’s spent three months in a chicken shed, then a further six months composting in chicken poo at our facility. After being immersed in this nutrient rich, bacterially diverse environment for nine months, it has well and truly started decomposing. This makes a massive difference. Whoflungdung is absorbent, it helps retain moisture and warmth in the garden. Whoflungdung is a feeder, it adds nutrients to the soil. Whoflungdung is a stopper. It aids in restricting and reducing the growth of weeds. Whoflungdung is sustainable.
24.01.2022 We’d like to thank all our factory staff at Neutrog in South Australia who have continued to work during the recent lockdown, albeit with everyone wearing masks in addition to their usual PPE. We hope that by all doing the right thing, very soon we won’t have to hear, see or speak of Covid, for a very long time! An extra thank you to one of our apprentices, Jordon for being the cheeky ‘monkey’ in the photos! We hope it brought a smile during a challenging few days for everyone.
24.01.2022 Gardening requires patience but how patient are you? Elaine and John from Melbourne have had a happy rhododendron in their garden for 30 years and yet it’s never bloomed. That is until Elaine heard Graham Ross talking about Kahoona and during Covid decided to give it a go. So you can imagine their delight when they discovered, poking out from behind their camellia, a big deep pink bloom. We loved hearing their story and seeing the beautiful photos.... Can you top 30 years? Tell us your story below.
23.01.2022 As Sponsors of the Garden Clubs Of Australia - Annual Photographic Competition - Neutrog would like to congratulate 2020's three Highly Commended finalists.
22.01.2022 Tune into Dr Uwe this weekend on 2GB radio and for those not in NSW, you can catch his segment on https://www.2gb.com/show/the-garden-clinic/ . But if you happen to miss either of those, here is a snippet from Uwe about the importance of disinfecting your garden equipment to minimise disease transfer: The cheapest and most effective way to minimise the risk of spreading disease on our gardening tools is a 1 in 9 dilution of household bleach in water. This will kill both the disease and the spores. But this solution won’t kill them instantly, you’ll need to soak your tools for 30 seconds or so especially if there is dirt attached. Also you need to make up fresh solution every day, the chlorine from the bleach is not stable so it will last only 1 day.
22.01.2022 This customer story is very close to our heart as it comes from one of our own staff. In late 2019, Kelly’s property was severely impacted by the Adelaide Hills bushfire. Luckily, her family, home and precious horses were able to be kept safe an unharmed but the impact to their surrounding property is evident. Since the fire, Kelly and her partner, along with their local farming contractor have worked hard to re-establish a perennial pasture that provides her 4 horses paddoc...k feed through-out the year in addition to being cut for hay. Prior to seeding, the paddocks were sprayed for weeds which were particularly bad post the fire and then re-sown using a Horse pasture mix in May. Fed with Neutrog product Undercover, Kelly says the pasture was quick to germinate and from early August onwards, the growth rate was incredible. When the pasture was ready to be cut for hay, Kelly told us that they baled an extra 25% over the entire paddock and further, the recovery post the cut was really noticeable. But while the new pasture providing ample feed is great, Kelly pointed out that after the devastating experience of a bushfire, to see the area regenerate so quickly was a big psychological lift. Walking around in feed that was thigh high on me and nearly over my daughter’s head as she picked clover flowers, made me feel very lucky for what we survived and what we have.
22.01.2022 The entire Neutrog team were excited to see our new bulk export container loader in action up at the warehouse with this container bound for export to Vietnam with pelletised fertiliser. This container was the first of a six container shipment, totalling 120 tonnes. Previously, fertiliser was 'blown' into a containter, but the new equipment allows the trucks that carry the export containers, to back up directly to a conveyor. This conveyor then delivers the fertiliser, via a ...belt right into the container. Once the container is full, it carries nearly 20 tonnes (or the equivalent of a thousand bags of retail sized product) but can increase to up to 24 tonnes. Zipped inside an export liner and sealed into the container, our product reaches its destination ready to be unloaded and out to our international customers. The arrival of this new piece of equipment on site means that we are now able to fill containers when it suits our production schedule and our customers needs (as opposed to when a contract blow system is available). #neutrog #fertiliser #export #innovation
21.01.2022 At Neutrog, we’re REALLY looking forward to Christmas this year and found this great idea for a table decoration using natives from your garden. The jars here are filled with water with a single Bottlebrush in each jar. If your natives have finished flowering when the festive season kicks into gear, consider another plant from your garden that could have the same effect. And remember, if you do have natives in your garden, don’t forget to give them a feed of Bush Tucker to he...lp support them before, during and after flowering. Note: Don’t forget the screw the lids on tight before turning these jars over! To find out more about Neutrog, sign up for our monthly newsletter and sign up to the Pooh Bah Club, head to www.neutrog.com.au Bush Tucker is a complete, organic based boosted fertiliser, specifically developed to meet the specialised needs of all Australian native plants. As native plant expert Angus Stewart says, Whilst native plants are great survivors in the garden, regular feeding helps them to thrive and reach their full potential".

Gyganic for Veggies Fruit & Citrus has been specifically designed to enhance the size, quality & flavour of your fruit and veggies. We recommend an application of Gyganic every 8 weeks. Water it in with Gogo Juice and continue to apply Gogo Juice fortnightly. Gyganic is also great for container grown plants, with the application rate being 1/4 that of a ground grown plant.
20.01.2022 Research and product development happens at Neutrog across the business and most recently, in our manufacturing plant. We have been conducting a trial based on a way to apply beneficial fungi and bacteria in liquid form, directly to our bulk products as they are being loaded into the truck for delivery to commercial growers. What you are seeing in this video is a spray bar with several spray nozzles positioned over the conveyer belt. This new development would allow us to del...iver a measured dose of liquid per tonne of material, all captured by a flow rate meter. As part of this trial Dr. Uwe Stroeher, along with an independent testing facility, is measuring the fungi and bacterial count before they are put through the sprayer, directly after (before it leaves Neutrog), at the point of delivery and then after application to the crop by the grower. These tests will determine the viability of the overall process and create opportunities for a liquid application system for a range of Neutrog products.

20.01.2022 Growing in Neutrog’s garden is the beautiful yellow rose Our Golden Son. This particular rose is very special to Neutrog’s MD Angus Irwin and his wife Sarah as it was named in honor of their son Seth. The Rose Societies across Australia named this rose in recognition of the work Neutrog puts into their many societies. Our Golden Son is an Australian bred rose, it buds a beautiful golden yellow that pales into a lemon yellow as it ages. All our roses here at Neutrog re...ceive regular feeding with Sudden Impact for Roses. About Sudden Impact for Roses - ideal for all flowering and fruiting plants (not just roses), Sudden Impact for Roses combines the best of both worlds. Its organic base provides a full range of plant nutrients in a slow release form, whilst the carefully selected water-soluble nutrients have been added to maximise the performance of each application.

16.01.2022 Some of the administration team at Neutrog have been displaying their gorgeous Phalaenopsis orchids in their offices, and we have all been able to enjoy them as well. The beautiful Phalaenopsis, or Moth Orchid is a popular plant with both novices and experts. Popular to give, and receive as a gift, there a few tips to ensure ongoing success. Watering carefully is important. They don’t like too much, or too little. If you’re not sure whether to, or not; you could test the ...mix by popping your finger down the side of the pot. If it feels damp, then leave another day or so. Another option is to pick up the pot, if it feels very light, then it possibly is ready for a drink. As a guide, during summer you may water a couple of times a week, whereas in winter it may be every 7-10 days or so. They love a well lit and warm position either inside or in a very protected area outside. Try and find a situation where the conditions are stable. Keep them fed with Strike Back for Orchids every fortnight. We recommend the liquid version. You can also successfully bring a Phalaenopsis back into repeat flowering. A stem which has flowered can be trimmed back to slightly below where the last flower was. Below that spike nodes can produce more flowers. If the stem doesn’t rebloom and starts to dry out, trim it off at the base. Keep an eye out, as later new flowering shoots will emerge. Enjoy your orchids and we’d love to hear your success stories.

Roasted Strawberries with Almond Crumble... cup blanched almonds cup caster sugar cup plain flour 90g butter 1 kg of strawberries 1. Pulse the almonds, sugar and nuts in a food processer until the nuts are chopped. 2. Add in the butter and pulse again until the mixture forms clumps. 3. Spread the crumble in a thin layer on a lined baking sheet and bake at 180 degrees for 25-30 minutes, stirring once. 4. Remove from the oven and set aside. 5. Increase the temperature to 220 degrees and roast the strawberries in a baking dish for 6 minutes or until just tender. 6. To serve, sprinkle crumble over the warm, roasted berries.

16.01.2022 To our friends, customers and workmates in Victoria, we hope the recently announced lockdown passes quickly. Last year, we heard so often from our customers that during restrictions, time outside in their garden helped the days to pass. Using the time to tackle an overdue project, fertilise in readiness for autumn or planting some veggies will all help make use of the extra hours at home. And, if you're feeling inspired, remember that lots of stores offer online ordering and ...home delivery. So, we hope that in amongst the next five days, you can find some time out in your garden. #covidchook
15.01.2022 You may have picked your first tomatoes and are readying for a huge summer crop. There are a few things to keep an eye out for during summer. Ideally you are checking your plants closely, looking for any sign of insect attack or fungal problems. It you see yellow leaves then remove and place in a bag to discard with your rubbish. These leaves can be the first sign of issues to come. It’s worth removing the bottom 150mm of foliage which would generally rest on the soil and ...be constantly wet. Monitor for insects. Check the back of leaves regularly. You can often head off a major attack by simply removing any pesky critters early on. If you live in an area where summer sun is particularly strong, then you may need to protect your fruit from burning. A piece of shadecloth strategically placed will assist greatly. Keep watering deeply and if you’ve not done so then mulch with Whoflungdung. Feeding your tomatoes with Gyganic for Veggies, Fruit & Citrus every 8 weeks will ensure a plentiful crop. If you prefer a liquid fertiliser, then Sudden Impact for Roses liquid will give you impressive results as well. Gogo Juice watered into the soil on a fortnightly basis will mean lots of beneficial bacteria will be working for you too. A well grown, healthy and strong plant is the best way to keep any pest and disease attack away. Tomatoes can be picked once they start to colour and brought inside to finishing ripening. A windowsill is an ideal location. Gyganic for Veggies, Fruit & Citrus has been specifically developed to enhance fruit size, quality and taste. Gyganic is a premium organic based, chemically boosted complete fertiliser with the full range of nutrients in an organic form. Gyganic’s unique organic base of manure, humates and rock phosphate have been composted and blended with the biologically active GOGO Juice containing kelp and seaweed producing a very nutritious organic base product high in organic carbon.
15.01.2022 This weekend, encourage our future gardeners by sending them out to see what they can find with a Neutrog Garden Hunt! Our fun Scavenger Hunt can be printed out or viewed on an ipad or maybe, it’s just some inspiration to make your own. Older kids love a competition so you could make it a race.... Toddlers might enjoy exploring with you and finding the items together. And for those who love drawing, why not have some paper and pens ready to draw some of the things they find. Happy exploring!
14.01.2022 Christine and Bob Brimson are passionate about their garden in Manly West, Queensland. Bob describes Christine as the green thumb and at Neutrog, we hear that a lot. One partner describes the other in that way; but at Neutrog, we know it’s team work. Someone dreams and plans and someone brings those ideas to life. When they bought their home in January 2014, there wasn’t much of a garden except for two lovely camellia trees in the backyard and a dilapidated garden bed made f...rom old railway sleepers in the front yard. But from there, what changes have they made in those 6 years! Together they have created a carefully considered and planned garden that surrounds their home. Native frangipani for fragrance, flowering gum, lemon & lime trees, crepe myrtle and lemon myrtle. Sweet peas ramble, roses, pansies, salvia, nemesias, and olives. They have also skillfully mingled natives throughout, including gymea lily, grevilleas and kangaroo paw. Christine and Bob commented, We don’t think there is anything of Neutrog’s which we don’t use. Sudden Impact for Roses and Gogo Juice on our flowering plants; Seamungus as a general tonic, Gyganic for our veggies and fruit; Bush Tucker for our natives, as well as the liquids. We love the results in our garden using Neutrog makes us and our garden happy.

14.01.2022 Last week, we spent some time with Kelvin and Melanie Trimper from The Rose Society of SA. They shared with us this video, walking through the over 2,000 individual roses that make up their suburban Adelaide garden. Melanie said the smell in the early morning is heavenly and makes the herculean pruning job worth it! Kelvin is a past President of The World Federation of Rose Societies and, along with Melanie, has had a long involvement with The Rose Society of SA. The Trimpe...r’s passion, along with many like them in rose societies around Australia, has made Neutrog’s Sudden Impact for Roses a product that is constantly being tested by the best in the business. So if you have two roses or 2,000! Sudden Impact for Roses will ensure they get everything they need to be the envy of your neighbours. Video credit: Melanie Trimper

12.01.2022 We were "seeing red" at Neutrog today with plenty of staff leaving the comfy shoes at home in favour of injecting a bit of colour to celebrate International Day of Rural Women. And who knew that a certain Neutrog bloke had his own red kicks? Can you guess which ones are his - it might not be what you expect....!
11.01.2022 These beautiful flowers just arrived at Neutrog for Suellen who works in the front office and we were all impressed that: a) her partner is they sort of man who sends "just because" flowers; b) he found a florist who would deliver all the way out here; c) he wrote a genuinely great card, and;... d) that he chose flowers that had half the office wondering what exact variety they are! We've all had a bit of a guess, but now putting it out to you! We recognise the oriental lily's but who can identify the conical shaped pink and white blooms? Once we know what they are, we will then know what Neutrog products will achieve stunning results like this. #justbecuaseflowers
10.01.2022 This beautiful close up photo of a bee in our Rare Fruit Arboretum was taken by a member of the Rare Fruit Society of South Australia during their Working ‘Bee’. They’ve been busy this month already preparing for fruiting and the upcoming warmer weather.
10.01.2022 Some people prefer not to fertilise their native plants. They are great survivors and can manage well on their own, but how much better could they be if fertilised regularly? On Graham Ross’ radio show tomorrow on 2GB, https://www.2gb.com/show/the-garden-clinic/ Dr Uwe Stroeher will be talking about how Neutrog specifically developed Bush Tucker for even the most phosphorus sensitive plants. Bush Tucker is a complete, organic based boosted fertiliser, specifically developed... to meet the specialised needs of all Australian native plants. Utilising a unique process, trace elements have been added to lock up Phosphorus, making Bush Tucker ideal for even the most phosphorus sensitive plants such as Grevilleas, Banksias and Proteas. So if you have natives in your garden who have rewarded you with a beautiful show of flowers, why not give them a little something extra? Mid to late spring to early summer is the perfect time as many of the plants have used not only energy to make their flowers and nectar, but also nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphate and those micronutrients, and by replacing these with Bush Tucker you’ll be well on the way to a magnificent display next season.
09.01.2022 November was a busy month in the Neutrog R&D lab. We received new equipment in advance of renovations to our facilities in 2021 and Dr. Uwe was also growing out some specimens of the 'bad' fungi that can be found in gardens and crops. It's equally important to understand the behaviour of a 'bad' bug as it is a 'good' bug. Each of their unique attributes help us to work towards creating products that promote a balanced environment in the garden (or on the farm) where your plants will thrive.

08.01.2022 Pomegranates are such hardy plants. The foliage is a gorgeous glossy green, flowers are a brilliant vermillion and during late autumn, the globes of crimson fruit hang beautifully on the tree. Deb and Robert live near Albany in Western Australia and grow a significant number of pomegranates 5000 in fact. Deb is a breast cancer survivor. Whilst dealing with chemotherapy Deb's niece suggested including pomegranates as part of her diet to help in Deb's healing after finishi...ng chemotherapy and radiation treatment.

08.01.2022 The birth flower for February is Primrose and we thought that we'd highlight the Pink Evening Primrose for all those celebrating a birthday this month. Pink Evening Primrose or Oenothera speciosa is a species of evening primrose known by several common names, including Pinkladies, Showy Evening Primrose and Mexican Primrose. This perennial wild flowering plant is characterised by delicate, papery pink petals with fiercely bright yellow centres that open in the morning, close ...during the day and re-open in the evening. Their vibrant green stems hold an abundance of blooms from late spring through summer and into the early autumn. Planted on mass they create a stunning effect but they can be aggressive in the garden so suit being against an edge or wall to help keep them contained. They thrive in full sun and all types of soils, but the soil does need to be well-drained. They will tolerate light shade, but will bloom more when placed in full sun. If you'd like to plant Pink Evening Primrose, look to our friends The Diggers Club where you can order online and make sure you incorporate some Seamungus at planting. To ensure your pink blooms maintain their colour during their long season, a regular feed with Sudden Impact for Roses will help. For monthly articles about Neutrog products, fertilising and gardening, sign up to our free e-newsletter at www.neutrog.com.au #neutrog #fertiliser #gardening #eveningprimrose #suddenimpactforroses #seamungus Sudden Impact for Roses is ideal for ALL flowering and fruiting plants, not just roses!

Users of Sudden Impact for Roses consistently report an increase in the number of flowers and an increase in the quality of individual blooms.
08.01.2022 This photo is from our Managing Director, whose lawn, while regularly fed with Sudden Impact for Lawns and Gogo Juice, didn't quite make the cut (pun intended) for him to secure the title of Neutrog's "Lord of the Lawn".

01.01.2022 This beautiful Indian Rope Hoya has been proudly nurtured by Melanie, our graphic artist. Melanie tells us that she’s been pampering and feeding it with Strike Back for Orchids. I love the delicately sculptured, wax-like flowers, she says, and it’s still very young, but a second flower is on the way and I am enjoying watching it develop nicely. In a couple of years, it will be a real talking point. Hoyas popularly known as the wax flower, are an epiphytic plant and u...sually live in trees and feed on leaf matter which has broken down. They don’t need a lot of room for their roots and are ideal as pot or hanging basket specimens. There are a number of varieties. One of the most commonly grown is Hoya carnosa. All varieties feature the beautiful waxy flowers which form tight clusters and have a delightful scent. They like to grow in an open mix similar to orchids and do well in tropical areas. They will also grow in many areas including colder climates, where you should try to provide them with dappled light and frost protection. Keep them moist during summer and ease off on the watering over winter. They flower during summer and through until mid-autumn with the flowers produced from the same stem each year. It is important not to cut off flowers after they finish, they will drop off on their own. As Melanie does, feed them with Strike Back for Orchids liquid, every fortnight and you too can enjoy the gorgeous hoya. Strike Back for Orchids Liquid Concentrate is an organic based chemically boosted fertiliser ideal for all potted flowering and fruiting plants not just orchids!
01.01.2022 Recently I had a fantastic garden club presentation with the members of the Australian Plants Society Victoria - Mornington Peninsula group. It was in the form of a Zoom meeting and I must say that I was a little nervous presenting with an unfamiliar system. Needn’t have worried though as everything worked like a dream, thanks to the tech savvy of the club. We had lots of great questions and feedback too, which is always a delight. Over the weekend, Roo Rawlins sent me thro...ugh these photos of her everlasting daisies growing through her citrus. The lemon tree is is over 2 metres in height so that makes the daisies well over 2 metres absolutely incredible! What is amazing about these photos is that the everlasting daisy normally reaches perhaps a metre at best. Roo told me, I fed my citrus with Bush Tucker and all of these daisies self- seeded & just popped up. I couldn’t believe it and felt like I was growing something from Jack and the Beanstalk. Roo also said, I really enjoyed your talk, and it must be wonderful to be part of such a great family owned company. I am most impressed with Neutrog and try and get your products onto my garden a few times a year. Bush Tucker is fantastic, and I get lots of great feedback on my kangaroo paws as well, which look sensational. I’m also a fan of liquid Seamungus. We thank Roo very much for this feedback and couldn’t wait to share it with you all. Helen Lovel Neutrog Victoria/Tasmania Bush Tucker is a complete, organic based boosted fertiliser, specifically developed to meet the specialised needs of all Australian native plants.

He has promised us a follow up video in November so you can see how the bed and the Kangaroo Paws develop.
