Hortimate


What is it? A 100% natural Soil and Plant Conditioner containing Natural Phosphate, Potassium, Sulphate, Calcium, Magnesium, Iron, Zinc, Copper, Boron, Molybdenum, other trace elements, minerals, plant available silica and beneficial soil microbes.
What does it do? Planting: Promotes a healthier, more robust root system and stronger thicker stem growth on all plants. This allows plants to withstand adverse conditions. Also encourages earthworm activity within the root zone, which enhances nutrient availability.

Clay Soils: loosens heavy clay soils. Provides better moisture penetration, softer soil, improves drainage and nutrient availability.

Sandy Soils: binds sand particles together in sandy soils which, reduces nutrient leaching and improves moisture availability.
Where and when to use it? All established Orchards and new plantings. Extremely beneficial when planting or transplanting all plants, including all small crops.
How often do you use it? Established Orchards, generally every 3 to 4 months. All other crops, before each new planting.
