Natures Soil Wetter – Granular

NATURE’S SOIL WETTER is non-toxic and has no Petrochemicals. It contains over 70 trace
elements/minerals. The ingredients used in NATURE’S SOIL WETTER are derived from 100%
natural materials, including Complex Organic Compounds (COC), non-ionic plant derived
surfactants, natural botanical extracts, corn, linseed & sunflower derivatives.
The CSIRO discovered that soils with a pH of 3.8 after just one application of Complex Organic
Compounds (COC), one of the key ingredients…. changed the soil pH to an amazing pH 5.4, many
times more powerful than lime, & leached out Aluminium (Al) irons, increased exchangeable
Calcium (Ca) ions to a depth of 15cm. Published by the Australian Journal of Soil Research
(Vol.40 2002).

Potting Mix and Pot Plants

Why use NATURE’S SOIL WETTER?

• An Ideal additive to soilless potting mixes for long term re-wetting.
• Aids water distribution, retention and drainage.
• Easy to use granular formulation which can be incorporated and top dressed.
• Provides immediate and long-term response.
• Improves the efficiency of fertilisers and crop protection products such as fungicides.
• Improved Cation Exchange (CEC) enhancing nutrient exchange following application.
• Non-toxic to plants, making it safe to use on all crop types.

NATURE’S SOIL WETTER can be used in a wide range of potting mixes primarily based on pine
derived bark, bark fibre, peat, cocofibre and pumice.

Using the Science of Nature

Turf, Lawns, Golf Greens, Garden Areas

Why use NATURE’S SOIL WETTER?

• An ideal water management tool in turf and landscape situations.
• Prevents dry patch in turf and improves water percolation in wet soils.
• Easy to use granular formulation which can be top dressed by spreader.
• Provides immediate and long-term response.
• Improves the efficiency of fertilisers and crop protection products such as fungicides.
• Non-toxic to plants and environmentally safe.
• 1-2mm particle size manufactured to meet USGA specifications.

NATURE’S SOIL WETTER is best applied as a top dressing to dry turf/lawn or garden. It can be
on top of soil or laid under mulch.

Application

• Greens & Tees Top-dress at the rate of 1.5kg/100m2 and reapply every 1-2 months.
• Fairways & Sports Fields Top-dress at the rate of 2.0kg/100m2 and reapply every 2-3 months.
• Parks & Reserves Top-dress at the rate of 1.5-2.0kg/100m2 and reapply every 3 months or season long.
• Garden Areas Top-dress at the rate of 1.5-2.0kg/100m2 and reapply every 3-6 months.

Crops, Vegetables, Fruit Trees, Natives Etc.

Why use NATURE’S SOIL WETTER?

• An ideal water management tool…. The natural media retains water.
• Improves soil substrate allowing better growing conditions
• Improves water percolation in wet soils.
• Easy to use granular formulation which can be top dressed by spreader.
• Provides immediate and long-term response. The natural media takes many years to break-down and therefore continues to improve the soil.
• Improves the efficiency of fertilisers and crop protection products such as fungicides.
• Non-toxic to plants and environmentally safe.

Using the Science of Nature

NATURE’S SOIL WETTER is best applied as a top dressing to the soil directly under the
tree/plants dripline (the extent of the tree/plants overhanging branches & foliage). It can be spread on top of soil or under mulch etc.

The amount applied, depends on the quality of the soil, the worse the soil (i.e. the more sandy or
heavy clay the soil is), the higher the application rate.

• Crops Top-dress at the rate of 1.5kg/100m2 and reapply every 1-2 months.
• Pasture Top-dress at the rate of 2.0kg/100m2 and reapply every 2-3 months.
• Vegetables Top-dress at the rate of 2.0kg/100m2 and reapply every 2-3 months.
• Fruit Trees Top-dress at the rate of 1.5-2.0kg/100m2 and reapply every 3 months or season long.
  Natives Top-dress at the rate of 1.5-2.0kg/100m2 and reapply every 3-6 months.

Specialised Application

Beneficial Microbe Stimulation for improved Fungal/Bacteria ratio

• Top-dress at the rate of 1.5kg/100m2 and reapply every 1-2 months.
• Sodium Management Top-dress at the rate of 2.0kg/100m2 and reapply every 2-3 months.
• Compatible Nitrogen sources include: Potassium nitrate, Urea, ammonium nitrate. Include 10% of ‘Nature’s Soil Wetter’ with your nitrogen source, i.e. 2kg/ 20kg Nitrogen.
• Detoxification / Chemical residues Top-dress at the rate of 1.5-2.0kg/100m2 and reapply every 3 months or season long.
• Help correct pH acid or alkaline soils/media ## Incorporate or top-dress at the rate of
  3-10kg/100m2 and reapply every 3 months.
