How it Works

The Science Behind Roots, Shoots and Leaves Fertiliser:

Roots, Shoots & Leaves is a controlled-release, mineral-based fertiliser designed to optimise nutrient use efficiency (NUE), soil structure, and sustained plant growth across a wide range of systems. Its formulation combines readily available nitrogen with stabilised nutrient sources and mineral amendments to support both immediate plant response and extended feeding over time.

The granular delivery system provides a staged nutrient release, reducing volatilisation and leaching losses while maintaining a consistent supply of nutrients within the root zone. This is further supported by mineral components such as zeolite, which enhance cation exchange capacity (CEC) and improve nutrient retention in the soil profile. In addition, the inclusion of natural wetting agents and biologically supportive inputs improves moisture distribution and microbial activity, contributing to better nutrient mobility and rhizosphere function. These interactions promote improved soil aggregation, aeration, and water-holding capacity, creating a more stable environment for root development.

The overall effect is consistent vegetative growth, improved canopy development, and enhanced plant resilience, particularly in systems requiring sustained nitrogen supply. Designed for integration into standard fertiliser programs, performance will vary depending on soil type, organic matter levels, and environmental conditions.

In summary: 

  • High nitrogen content (16%) supports leafy growth & chlorophyll production
  • Slow-release potassium (10%) aids in root health, flowering and drought resistance
  • Trace elements like iron, zinc, manganese, boron, and copper improve plant immunity and vitality
  • Added silica and sulphur improve structural strength and nutrient absorption
  • Natural wetting agents improve growing media and soil penetration
  • Zeolite reduces leaching and enhances CEC (cation exchange capacity)

Review of Liquid Fulvic Acid Lawn & Garden Biostimulant, Premium Soil Nutrient Chelator - 1L

Seed Germination

I have tried the fulvic acid on seed germination with fantastic results. Soaked Adenium seeds overnight in diluted fulvic acid.. the results were amazing, once the seeds were planted they germinated a lot quicker than normal with nearly 100 % germination. Very happy with this product and can totally recommend to others.

Review of MSM Capsules – High-Purity Organic Sulphur 460mg

MSM Supplement 460mg

This MSM Supplement has made a significant difference to my recovery from a serious Lis Franc foot injury after months of little to no improvement. Less pain and more elasticity in the badly injured area of the foot. Could not be happier.

Review of Quantum H® Liquid Humic Acid Lawn & Garden Soil Conditioner - 1L

Brilliant

I have been using Quantum H on my Santa Anna lawn now for years in conjunction with other PD products and the results have been consistently brilliant. I have found that maintaining soil health is critical component in lawn care, and Quantum H is definitely a part of a “system” to use to achieve results.
