Story Title: Soils and Nutrition

Soil provides plants the energy and minerals they need to grow well, so it is important to make sure you properly enrich your soil.

• The nutrients and minerals that the plants soak up help to improve our own health and well-being. It’s important to supplement your soil with a balanced controlled release plant food, ideally one with added microbes to activate the soil’s healthy microbial balance.
• Troforte M is an Australian breakthrough in plant nutrition, the result of 20 years of research.
• Apply a handful per square metre – as it is controlled release, you only need to feed every 4-6 months. There is no risk of burning the soil microbes or plant roots.
• Nutrients are not wasted, whereas most fertilisers leach below the plant roots before being taken up. These nutrients can end up in waterways, polluting and killing wildlife.
• No matter how poor your soil, the combination of nutrients and 24 beneficial soil microbes will help to turn it around. Over time with regular application, you won’t need to worry about applying chemicals as your plants will resist pest and diseases on their own.
• Different plants need different nutrients, and Troforte M has different plant foods available.
