Veggie Mate

What does it do?

• Generally: promotes healthier, more robust root systems and stronger thicker stem and branch growth on all plants. Provides organically complexed acids for enhanced cellular nutrition. Increases the utilisation of irrigation and rainfall more efficiently. Improves nutrient availability (including applied fertilisers) to the plant, even under harsh conditions.
• Clay Soils: loosens all clay soils. Provides better moisture penetration, softer soil, improves nutrient availability and reduces the effects of waterlogging.
• Sandy Soils: binds sand particles together in sandy soils, which reduces nutrient leaching and improves moisture availability. 

Where and when to use it?: On all soils, where crops struggle to reach their full potential. Apply as soon as possible after harvest. Note: Full benefits are seldom achieved within 2-3 months of application.

How often do you use it?: As often as necessary, depends on your soil’s condition. Identifiable through soil testing and crop performance.

Application Rates: Rates are determined by current soil tests (within last 6 months), Crop History, Yield Expectation and Farming Practices, etc. Please forward a completed “Soil Profile” form with each soil test. These are available from Earthlife distributors.

Other Important Information: Spread, using a moving floor spreader (same as for Gypsum). Replaces the need for Lime, Gypsum or Dolomite. Adjusts soil pH towards neutral and maintains level longer. Will not burn plant foliage or root hairs. Incorporate into the top 100mm only of moist soil.
