Presenter: Neville Passmore

It’s time to give your garden a good summer feed with an innovative Western Australian fertiliser range that is good for the environment, and made specifically for our soils. Neville shows how the Shade of Green range can transform some of the most desperate gardens in need of soil nourishment.

Featured Products: Stocktech Australia’s Shades of Green range

• Shades of Green fertilisers deliver plants a balanced charge of energy and nutrition, along with an environmentally-responsible solution to the water and climate issues of our time.
• These fertilisers provide a comprehensive array of minerals to plants and contain unique ingredients that enhance soil microbial life.
• The Shades of Green range of products have an outstanding ability to stimulate the development of functional root mass, thus improving soil and plant health by increasing organic matter in the soil profile.
• The future of sustainability in gardening and farming depends on rebuilding carbon by increasing the content of organic matter in the soil. This not only reduces our carbon footprint, but also enables water to be used more efficiently. Rivers must be protected by preventing the leaching of fertiliser away from the soil profile.

• Produces robust growth and healthy food crops with high nutrient density and intense flavour.
• Stimulates vigorous soil microbial activity and delivers a complex array of essential trace minerals.
• Contains zeolite (crushed volcanic rock) and humates (derived from ancient soil humus) build up water and nutrient holding capacity.
• Low-leaching and slow-release which means it builds soil fertility over time = value for money + sustainability + increased water efficiency
• Suits a very wide range of plants and growing situations.
• Have easy-to-use instructions on every bag, with pictures and handy measures.
• With your edible plants the extra nutrient density increases crop success, but more importantly increases the flavour, colour and storage time of the harvested crops.
