Alternative Fertiliser Solutions
Australian soils are generally fragile, depleted and mineral poor. The need for alternative fertiliser solutions is growing as we’re discovering that long term use of chemical solutions aren’t working. Chemicals such as superphosphate tend to decrease the pH in soil that naturally tends to be acidic, and as soil becomes more acidic minerals are locked up, biology becomes dormant or dies, and farm or garden yield decrease. This is why alternatives for chemical fertilisers are the way of the future. What we need to do is work with the soil by adding the conditions that will allow the soil to remain in a pH band that allows for plant growth, with the minerals and elements that will support microbial and bacteria life. After adding these alternative fertiliser solutions, maintaining strong plant-growth is a seamless process.
