This finely milled suspension of diatomaceous earth, derived from fossilised diatoms, offers a natural and potent source of silica (80–90% silica content) to fortify plant cell walls and enhance soil health. Specifically micronised for seamless integration into irrigation systems or foliar sprays, this product promotes plant resilience, improves soil structure, and is an ideal choice for organic gardening enthusiasts.

Rich in amorphous silica, this suspension significantly boosts plant strength and enhances soil fertility, making it a go-to solution for organic gardeners seeking sustainable cultivation practices. The fine particle size ensures rapid absorption into soil or plant systems, delivering natural pest resistance, improved nutrient availability, and support for environmentally conscious farming methods.

  • High Bioavailable Silica Content: Provides 80–90% bioavailable silica to strengthen plant cell walls, improving structural integrity and resilience against environmental stressors.

  • Enhanced Pest Resistance: Naturally bolsters plant defences against common pests such as aphids, fungus gnats, and other harmful insects, reducing the need for chemical interventions.

  • Improved Soil Aeration and Water Retention: Enhances soil structure by improving aeration and increasing water-holding capacity, creating an optimal environment for root development.

  • Micronised for Efficient Application: Finely milled particles ensure uniform distribution when applied through irrigation systems or as a foliar spray, maximising effectiveness.

  • Certified Organic Compliance: Meets stringent organic farming standards, ensuring safe and sustainable use in organic gardening and farming systems.

  • Promotes Robust Root Health: Supports vigorous root development, enabling plants to absorb nutrients more efficiently and thrive in various growing conditions.

  • Reduces Soil Compaction: Loosens compacted soils, fostering greater microbial activity and improving overall soil health for long-term productivity.

  • Versatile Application: Suitable for a wide range of plants, including vegetables, ornamentals, and turf, making it a versatile addition to any gardening regimen.

  • Rich in Trace Minerals: Supplies essential trace minerals to enrich soil nutrient profiles, supporting healthier and more resilient plant growth.

  • Non-Toxic and Eco-Friendly: Formulated to be safe for the environment, pets, and humans, ensuring a sustainable and responsible gardening solution.

Directions for Use

When diluting, we recommend adding the fertiliser to a small amount of warm water and stirring or shaking thoroughly before adding to a sprayer or watering can. This ensures even mixing and prevents settling of the suspension.

Foliar Application: Dilute 3–6 ml of this organic liquid fertiliser per litre of water and apply as a foliar spray to plant leaves during early morning or late afternoon for optimal absorption. Ensure thorough coverage of all foliage for maximum effectiveness.

Soil Application: Mix 6–10 ml per litre of water and apply directly to the root zone, followed by thorough watering to facilitate nutrient penetration into the soil. This method is compatible with drip irrigation systems or manual watering techniques.

Application Frequency: Apply every 2–6 weeks during the growing season (spring to autumn), depending on crop requirements and soil conditions. For soils with known deficiencies, use the higher application rate and increase frequency for best results.

Application Tips: Agitate the suspension during mixing and application to maintain an even consistency and prevent particle settling. Use clean, well-maintained equipment to avoid clogging in irrigation systems. For sensitive plants, test the product on a small area before widespread application to ensure compatibility.

Important Information

Safety: This pet-safe and child-friendly organic liquid fertiliser is non-toxic when used as directed. Avoid ingestion and wash hands thoroughly after handling to ensure safe use.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight, ideally between 5–25°C, to maintain the suspension’s stability and efficacy. Keep the container tightly sealed and shake well before each use to resuspend particles evenly.

Certifications: Certified organic by recognised standards, guaranteeing compliance with rigorous organic farming regulations for safe and sustainable use across all gardening systems.
