Life in Soil
Without ‘life’ in the soil it
can do little more than prevent growing plants from falling over!
It is ‘life’ in the earth that
provides its fertility. Life in soil is
comprised of earthworms, bacteria, fungi, protozoa, beetles, centipedes,
slugs, snails and ants to name a few (source Wikipedia). Life
in a healthy soil works to break down decomposing organic matter on
the surface, creating humus and that adds to the soil’s volume
and texture, thereby improving its structure and its fertility. This
process releases locked up nutrients to better grow plants that contain
a balanced mix of nutrients, minerals and trace elements. The end
result is the provision of healthier nutrition to the animals or humans
that consume the plants as food.
Our products Nitrosol and PhloLime
are strongly oriented towards the procreation of ‘life’
in soil. PhloLime, a sprayable
rapid action fine lime provides a source of readily available calcium,
an essential element and a pre-requisite for healthy soil, plants,
animals and humans. Nitrosol is
made from fish based or ovine blood and bone that also contain calcium
as well as a full range of plant available nutrients, minerals and
trace elements that will feed and nurture plants through both foliage
as well as roots. The organic content that includes humates, amino
acids, carbohydrates (energy), contributes to the development of the
soil biology and this leads to better nutrient uptake by plants, raising
brix levels and increasing dry matter production.
Farmers and growers find that Nitrosol
and PhloLime make a significant
contribution to enhancing the life in their
soils, improving crop yields and quality, improving the health of
their grazing animals and also reducing their reliance upon, expense
and harm, often associated with the use of chemicals. Enhancing your
soil biology with Nitrosol and
PhloLime has the added benefit
of sequestering carbon a fact that will have growing importance in
the years ahead.
Nitrosol has been made and sold
throughout New Zealand for over thirty
years and has been distributed around the world for almost all of
that time.
