THE PROBLEM: Modern soil tests are revealing that chemical fertilisers & harsh manures are causing imbalances that lock-up nutrients, kill-off important soil microbes & reduce water retention.

Unfortunately, these imbalances restrict roots and plant health plus invite unwanted weeds, pests and diseases which further affect your quality and yield, and the extra expense of treatment is cruel.

Some people turn to soil conditioners such as seaweed & worm castings, but with hardly any macronutrients, the results are often minimal.

A big step-up is a quality fish fertiliser, but many producers are cheap & nasty. They profusely boil various low grade, sometimes half-rotten fish scraps, then add acid to breakdown the bones which destroy any remaining goodness, then water-down to a low-price point. Some producers even add potassium chloride which kills soil microbes quick. Don’t risk it!
