Specially formulated to suit Biological Farmers of Australia (BFA) requirements.
The complete food for gardens and lawns, made from blended Blood & Bone, fish meal, seaweed extract and composted poultry manure. Widely used by Commercial Farms and in the Horticultural Industry.
The organic content is a blend of Blood & Bone, Fish Meal, Seaweed extract and composted animal manure. This rich organic blend is then compacted into pellets. Each pellet contains a complex range of nutrients which are gradually released after watering. The slow release organic ingredients allow nutrients to be available through the growing season and activates beneficial soil micro-organisms.
Organic Life will boost the soils level of nutrients to assist with root development, leaf growth and flower production.

| APPLICATION RATES Normal application rate in between 100 – 200 g per m2 | |
|---|---|
| Roses, Flowers & Vegetables | Consider an application of lime as a pre-plant. Before planting Ð spread 200g per square metre 1-2 weeks before planting. Work into top 5-10cm soil and water in well. Established Ð spread 100g per square metre. Apply once every 4-6 weeks. For annual flowers apply at early bud formation. |
| Bulbs, Corms & Tubers | Spread 100g per square metre before planting. Working into soil just below planting depth. Water in well. |
| Trees & Shrubs | Before planting mix 50g with the soil at the bottom of the planting hole. Spread another handful on the top of the soil and under mulch. Established Ð spread 100g per square metre. Apply to the area covered by the foliage canopy keeping 15cm away from the trunk. Water in well. Note: for Australian Natives apply only half the above rates, or use a fertiliser with low or no soluble phosphorus. |
| Vines | Spread 100g per square metre before planting and work well into soil. Water in well. |
| Strawberries | Spread 200g per square metre and mix into soil during bed formation. Side dress rows once every 4-6 weeks (75g per meter of row) after flowering commences. |
| New Lawns | Spread 100g per square metre and mix into soil 1-2 weeks before sowing seed, laying turf or planting sprigs. |
| Fruit Trees | Before planting mix 100g with the soil at the bottom of the planting hole. Also consider incorporating lime or gypsum before planting, check the pH. Spread another handful around the drip line and cover with mulch to help strong root development into the surrounding soil. Established Ð spread 0.5kg to 4kg per tree (depending on age of tree) in Spring. For bearing Citrus apply in July, November and March. Apply to the area covered by the foliage canopy keeping 15cm away from the trunk. Water in well. Re apply mulch. |
| COMMERCIAL RATES | |
| Commercial Vegetables & Vine Fruit Production | 250 Ð 2000kg /Ha as a pre-plant application depending on the type and quantity of other soil inputs. |
| Tree Crops | 250 Ð 500kg/Ha depending on age of trees. Apply under trees with more around the drip line if possible generally in Spring and or Autumn. |
| Broad acre Crops | From 50kg/Ha in the furrow with the seed as a biological activator. |
| Pasture | 150 Ð 200kg/Ha after grazing in Spring and early Autumn. Allow 6 weeks for pellets to incorporate in the top soil and help initiate greater biological activity. |
