Stop Using Chemicals And Fertilisers
#1 Organic Soil Solution
For Schools, Golf Courses, & Sports Fields
Our natural organic solution means no dangerous chemicals, improved soil biologicals, and far less maintenance.
Plus, you save a fortune compared with costly fertiliser programs and never have to ‘rest’ areas, meaning better and safer play with no downtime.
Safety First
For Schools
The primary concern for every parent is the safety of their child.
By eliminating costly fertiliser maintenance programs, every school can safely know they’re doing the right thing for their pupils.
Save Big
For Golf Courses
Golf Courses typically spend hundreds of thousands of dollars each year in fertiliser programs to maintain playing standards.
By using our organic soil solution, golf clubs can provide a higher quality of play, never need to renovate greens or rest any areas, and save a small fortune — typically 20-30% annually.
No Toxic Exposure
For Sports Fields
Sports fields using fertiliser programs expose players to toxic chemicals increasing chances of respiratory ailments and serious diseases such as cancer.
Switch to our organic solution and eliminate these toxins, while at the same time saving money in costly maintenance.

Resource links & FAQ
How does synthetic fertiliser affect soil?
Synthetic fertilisers kill beneficial microorganisms in the soil that convert dead animal and plant remains into nutrient-rich organic matter. Nitrogen and phosphate based synthetic fertilisers leach into ground water and increase its toxicity causing water pollution.
How do synthetic fertilisers increase carbon emissions?
The majority of emissions from synthetic fertilisers occur after they are applied to the soil and enter into the atmosphere as nitrous oxide (N2O) – a persistent greenhouse gas with 265 times more global warming potential than carbon dioxide (CO2).
Are synthetic fertilisers bad for the environment?
Synthetic fertilisers can harm the environment because their nitrogen and phosphorous levels are often higher. Phosphorous runoff from farms and lands that use synthetic fertiliser has contributed to the algae bloom in Lake Erie, which has been disastrous to aquatic life in this region.
How do synthetic fertilisers affect global warming?
Excessive use of nitrogen based fertilisers in agriculture is contributing to nitrous oxide emissions. Leftover nitrogen that hasn’t been absorbed by plants reacts with the soil to produce this dangerous greenhouse gas.
Do fungi store carbon?
When it comes to storing carbon in the ground, fungi may be key. Soils are a massive reservoir of carbon, holding about three times as much carbon as the Earth’s atmosphere. The secret behind this carbon storage is microbes, such as bacteria and some fungi, which transform dead and decaying matter into carbon-rich soil.
How much does fertiliser production contribute to climate change?
Ammonia manufacturing today contributes between 1-2% of worldwide carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Fertilisers also produce greenhouse gases after farmers apply them to their fields. Crops only take up, on average, about half of the nitrogen they get from fertilisers.
What are the effects of fertilisers on the environment?
Fertilisation may affect the accumulation of heavy metals in soil and plant system. Plants absorb fertilisers through the soil, meaning they can then enter the food chain. Thus, fertilisation leads to water, soil and air pollution.
What are the negative effects of fertiliser?
Some of the harm chemicals fertiliser may cause include waterway pollution, chemical burn to crops, increase in air pollution, and acidification and mineral depletion of the soil.
What are the down sides of phosphate fertilisers?
Phosphate fertilisers causes eutrophication (a reduction of dissolved oxygen in water bodies caused by an increase of mineral and organic nutrients) of rivers and lakes. This reduced level of oxygen in water ends up suffocating fish and other aquatic life. Several municipalities have banned the use of fertilisers containing phosphorus for turf or lawn areas.
What are the environmental effects of nitrogen and phosphorus pollution?
Too much nitrogen and phosphorus in water causes algae to grow faster than ecosystems can handle. Significant increases in algae harm water quality, food resources and habitats, and decrease the oxygen that fish and other aquatic life need to survive.
