Benefits

 

The Major Benefits of Gods Gift to Gardens are:
  • Environmentally Friendly. Because the nutrients in this product are stabilised they do not leach and therefore will not contribute to pollution of our wetlands or rivers.
  • Ability to increase the water holding capacity of soil. Will hold at least twice times it's own weight in water and so is a very "Water Wise" product.
  • Contains a balanced amount of essential nutrients in plant available form with a high count of beneficial micro-organism.
  • Helps plants resist root diseases by improving health and vigour-contains nematode trapping fungi.
  • Is pH neutral and is safe to use on all plants including natives.
  • Is slow release throughout the plant or crop life.
  • Is completely odourless, and not attractive to flies or pets and is harmless to small children.
  • It has a high humus content. Contains up to 30% organic carbon (humus).
  • It is multi use - use for; potting, soil conditioning, trans-planting and seed raising.
  • Will improve soil structure.
  • Has a dark soft texture and appearance.
  • Contains no dangerous pathogens or weed seeds.
  • Is not produced from council, domestic, industrial wastes or treated sewage and does not contain sand.
  • Proudly West Australian owned and operated.

 
Benefits of Gods Gift to Gardens vs. Manures - Pelletised or Otherwise:
  • "Gods Gift to Gardens" copies nature by adding pre-digested organic matter to the soil in the form of humus. Manures do not add anything to the soil except water soluble nutrients that are rapidly leached. Their residue is useless.
    "Gods Gift to Gardens" is near pH neutral. This helps "buffer" the soil therefore "Gods Gift to Gardens" has the ability to convert locked up nutrients. Chicken manures are highly alkaline which does not help Perth's already alkaline and humus deficient soils.
  • The nutrient contained in "Gods Gift to Gardens" is tightly bound to the material, and is available to the plant as required and does not leach. Manure nutrient is water soluble and so is easily leached away into the water table and river systems and thus contributing to algal blooms, wetland pollution etc.
  • "Gods Gift to Gardens" has been thermophylicaly ( a natural heat treatment ) composted resulting in a very stable and safe product. Manures contain e-colli, salmonella and other unhealthy pathogens that can cause illness and disease.
  • Some animal manures contain weeds.
  • The composting process eliminates odour.
  • " Gods Gift to Gardens" will attract worms into the garden soil. It also improves the cation exchange capacity of the soil which enables plants to freely take up nutrients as they require as opposed to chemical fertilisers that force feed the plant.
  • "God's Gift to Gardens" stimulates the growth of friendly fungi in the soil that effects the growth of destructive fungi and root diseases such as nematodes. Microbes occurring in the product have the ability to attack waxy coatings on soil particles that cause water repellency as well as also releasing locked up nutrients caused by chemical imbalance in the soil.
  • "God's Gift to Gardens" has very high water retention characteristics. When used in combination with good quality mulch the ultimate situation for plant growth is obtained.

 

Nutritional Information & Technical Information:

"God's Gift to Gardens" is high quality compost that consists primarily of humus, which creates and supports the biological process in the soil.

"God's Gift to Gardens" is a rich microbial substance, which inoculates the soil, activating its biological process. It is a source of stable humus as well as containing a modest supply of all the major and minor essential elements.

Humus is the end product of digested organic matter which is rarely obtained simply by incorporating raw organic matter, it is a concentrate of carbon and energy compounds which aid microbes survival in extremes of temperature and moisture. Humus enables certain bacteria and actinomycetes to carry out anti-biotic effects in the soil and aid in beneficial mycorrhiza root associations. Humus is colloid-like in nature and 3-5 times more absorptive capacity to hold and release nutrients, water, oxygen and carbon compounds than soil mineral particles.

The humus molecule found in composted " God's Gift to Gardens" is long chained with the ability to bind or absorb plant nutrients providing a stable and more efficient release. God's Gift to Gardens is soil-like, stable in storage and can keep microbial systems dormant until placed in the soil. The nutrients are stable and not easily leached or tied up as in raw manures. The release of NPK and other nutrients are predictable and long lasting.

Applying " God's Gift to Gardens" to the soil starts the biological process to build the soil. It supplies the micro-organisms that decompose organic matter and therefore should not be thought of as just an NPK fertiliser. The formula can be expressed in terms of a chemical analysis, however these figures cannot be compared to the same figure of a mineral fertiliser since action and efficiency of the nutrient compounds in an organic product are quite different in their availability to the soil life and plant roots.

True analysis is impossible as the product must be oven dried and chemically treated and results thus obtained relate only to some of the static components.

The process of building the soil takes time but rewards of improved soil structure, nutrient and water holding capacity will be self-evident.
