NATURE'S SOIL WETTER is non-toxic and has no Petrochemicals. It contains over 70 trace elements/minerals. The ingredients used in NATURE'S SOIL WETTER are derived from 100% natural materials, including Complex Organic Compounds (COC), non-ionic plant derived surfactants, natural botanical extracts, corn, linseed & sunflower derivatives.

 

The CSIRO discovered that soils with a pH of 3.8 after just one application of Complex Organic Compounds (COC), one of the key ingredients…. changed the soil pH to an amazing pH 5.4, many times more powerful than lime, & leached out Aluminium (Al) irons, increased exchangeable Calcium (Ca) ions to a depth of 15cm. Published by the Australian Journal of Soil Research (Vol.40 2002).

Why use NATURE’S SOIL WETTER

• An ideal water management tool…. The natural media retains water.
• Improves soil substrate allowing better growing conditions
• Improves water percolation in wet soils.
• Easy to use granular formulation which can be top dressed by spreader.
• Provides immediate and long-term response. The natural media takes many years to break-down and therefore continues to improve the soil.
• Improves the efficiency of fertilisers and crop protection products such as fungicides.
• Non-toxic to plants and environmentally safe.

 

NATURE’S SOIL WETTER is best applied as a top dressing to the soil directly under the tree/plants dripline (the extent of the tree/plants overhanging branches & foliage). It can be spread on top of soil or under mulch etc.

 

The amount applied, depends on the quality of the soil, the worse the soil (i.e. the more sandy or heavy clay the soil is), the higher the application rate.

 

Crops	Top-dress at the rate of 1.5kg/100m2 and reapply every 1-2 months.
