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

Directions for Use

When diluting, we recommend adding fertiliser to a small amount of warm water and giving it a good stir/shake before adding to sprayer or watering can. This helps to ensure even mixing.  

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

  • Soil Application: Mix 6–10 ml per litre of water and apply directly to the root zone, followed by thorough watering to aid nutrient penetration. Suitable for drip irrigation or manual watering systems.

  • Application Frequency: Apply every 2–6 weeks during the growing season (spring to autumn) based on crop needs and soil conditions. For deficient soils, use the higher rate more frequently.

  • Application Tips: Agitate the suspension during mixing and application to maintain an even consistency and prevent settling. Use clean equipment to avoid clogging irrigation systems. Test on a small area if unsure of plant sensitivity.

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.
