3 Ways To Keep Your Soil Healthy Using Natural And Organic Fertilisers

From professional farmers to gardening enthusiasts, plant lovers are choosing to forego Synthetic Chemical Fertilisers in favour of Certified Organic Fertilisers. Our global community is increasingly working with Organic Fertilisers that support sustainable farming practices and land management.

Using a natural product is consistently showcasing a range of remarkable benefits for the health of plants and soil. Below are 3 advantages to making the switch to a natural fertiliser.

1: Add Organic Material For Nutrition and Moisture

Adding natural and organic matter, such as manure, Guano Gold, compost, mulch and peat moss, offers real benefits to your soil. Organic material stores useful moisture which will hydrate your plants as well as holding considerable nutrition. Livestock manure can add a range of nutrients, particularly nitrogen and phosphorus. These additions are loved by plants, flowers, fruits, and vegetables, and will help your crop to flourish.

2: Treat Your Soil Like A Living Eco-System

Fertiliser is not just a simple addition to your garden. It’s a nutrient-dense food source that enriches the life of your soil. Adding organic material to your plot feeds the many microorganisms that live within it, such as bacteria, fungi, algae, actinomycetes and protozoa. These organisms then cluster around roots, making nutrients available to your plants and improving your soil structure.

3: Take A Long Term Approach To Soil Health

Yet another benefit of organic fertiliser is its ability to offer lasting, long-term benefits to your soil. Synthetic Chemical fertilisers are designed to release bulk quantities of nutrients at a rapid rate of which most “Lock Up/Tie Up in the soils, producing fast, but often harmful plant growth. Instead, choose a natural product that offers a balanced and Fast & Slow sustained release for real benefits to your soil and plants.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY

Being so far away from our markets, durability is critical and the Silica is really good in terms of hardening up the skin and making the melons better to transport.Ord River WA irrigator David Menzel-Barradale

The problem with many organic fertilisers is that they have very low rates of nutrients, meaning you need to put out high rates. A product like Guano Gold has 12pc P, whereas Guano Sulphur Gold has 10.5pc P, obviously with additional sulphur. These figures compare very favourably with something like a single superphosphate product. Agronomically, it’s a good product in any setting, not just for organic producers.Garry Allison, Landmark Agronomist. Mount Gambier, SA

For the broadacre croppers, Guano Gold works really well in paddocks where they have had issues with nutrient tie-up. He said the majority of synthetic P products have large rates of water soluble P. The problem with that is that you can have instances where it ends up tying up zinc in the soil so you run into problems with zinc deficiencies. Not only does the slow release nature of the Guano Gold product work well over the entire season, it also contains zinc for the crop as well as the other nutrients.Moree agronomist Rob Drewitt

We strongly recommend the Guano Gold products to fellow farmers if they are looking at improving their Calcium and Silica levels using various methods of application such as foliar and granular.James and Aimee Thomas Falkirk Macadamia Farm

I have recommended Guano Gold products for 20 years and in all cases had excellent long-term results increasing in pasture productivity.Paul Baguely - PB Ag Consulting

They are high analysis products so you get your nutrients without having to put too much fertiliser out.Anthony Beutel, Googa Farm Organics

We have known since the 1930s that phosphorus is one of the main elements required to grow a successful crop of not just the (flax) plant but the seed. It was one of those products that was first out in a granular type form and it was so much easier to get an even coverage over the ground, rather than a powder form. Later on the product became a little more refined, so we could put it through our air-seeder. We also broadcast some of it, prior to seeding, when we are cultivating ground. The products have great characteristics in relation to phosphate and silica, which is exactly what we need for flax.Waltanna Farms flax-seed farmer & Ambassador for Guano Australia, Michael Nagorcka
