Nature’s Soil Wetter is a high-strength, plant-based wetting agent and soil conditioner designed for commercial turf management, landscape contractors, nurseries, horticulture, and broadacre operations. Formulated using organic colloidal suspension technology, it rapidly corrects hydrophobicity, improves water infiltration, and optimises fertiliser efficiency across all soil types, without petrochemicals or synthetic surfactants. Backed by CSIRO-supported research, this product is engineered for operations that need consistent water penetration, reduced input loss, and improved soil function at scale.

Nature’s Soil Wetter tackles one of the most overlooked soil challenges, hydrophobicity, or water repellence. Common in sandy soils, compacted clays, and degraded soils, this issue causes water to bead and run off rather than soaking in where plants need it. By reducing water’s surface tension, Nature’s Soil Wetter improves infiltration and rehydration, delivering moisture directly to root zones while enhancing soil structure over time. Unlike synthetic wetting agents, its natural colloidal chemistry and plant-based surfactants support soil biology. The formula binds and retains moisture, reduces nutrient leaching, and stabilises nitrogen fertilisers for up to 80 days. It also detoxifies soils by binding harmful residues and heavy metals, while buffering pH for a more stable growing environment. Whether on turf, in gardens, or across farms, Nature’s Soil Wetter does more than move water, it regenerates soil function, boosts nutrient efficiency, and builds long-term resilience in any growing system.
In summary, nature's soil wetter has the following functions:

Nature’s Soil Wetter is a commercial-grade, plant-based wetting agent and soil conditioner designed for large-scale treatment of hydrophobic or poorly structured soils. It improves infiltration by reducing surface tension, allowing irrigation and rainfall to move uniformly through the soil profile. This increases water-use efficiency, enhances fertiliser performance, and improves root-zone hydration across turf, horticulture, and broadacre sites.
Yes. The formula is non-toxic, biodegradable, petrochemical-free, and suitable for use on all turf varieties, ornamentals, horticultural crops, broadacre plantings, native landscapes, nurseries, and revegetation programs. It is safe for sensitive species and high-traffic turf such as sports fields and golf greens.
For commercial operations, Nature’s Soil Wetter can be applied via boom spray, fertigation units, irrigation injection systems, tank mixes, or broadacre sprayers. Post-application irrigation is recommended to drive the product into the soil profile. Uniform coverage provides the most consistent results across large turf or crop areas.
For ongoing soil conditioning, apply monthly or as part of routine irrigation maintenance. Severely hydrophobic sands, high-traffic sports turf, or soils with chronic water repellency may benefit from more frequent applications until infiltration improves.
Typical commercial rates begin at 100ml per 100m². Higher rates may be used for seasonal treatments or heavily water-repellent soils. Always adjust based on soil type, irrigation practices, and site conditions.
Allow 8–12 hours before mowing to ensure the product has fully soaked into the soil. Delaying mowing improves treatment effectiveness, especially in hydrophobic sands or compacted turf areas.
For large turf surfaces, mowing prior to application improves soil contact and reduces product loss on leaf material. This is recommended for golf courses, sports fields, and turf farm applications.
Yes. Nature’s Soil Wetter is specifically formulated to improve water distribution, reduce run-off, and restore infiltration in dry patch areas. It is widely used in sports turf, amenities turf, agriculture, and horticulture to maximise irrigation efficiency and reduce water waste.
Yes. The product is fully biodegradable and safe for waterways, pets, livestock, and beneficial soil biology. Its natural surfactants make it environmentally suitable for broadacre agriculture, council landscapes, turf farms, and environmentally sensitive areas.
First time owning lawn. Gave the team at plant doctor a ring and they supplied me with a wealth of information. Products turned up quickly.
Will definitely be getting more 8 weeks difference been using stimulizer, activ8mate, soil wetter, seaweed secrets and champion fertiliser. Was super fast delivery.
Only have great things to say about Plant Doctor. Organic products and a competitive price, fast shipping and easy to contact with questions. Have had great results with the special mix for lawns, and my plants (indoor and outdoor) love the seaweed secrets. I am excited to test out some of the animal products soon!
