Shades of Green benefits
Why switch to Shades of Green?
Environmentally safe for rivers and waterways
Shades of Green
won’t leach into waterways. It stays where you place it, nourishing
your soil and plants instead of polluting the environment.
Toxic algal bloom threatens rivers, waterways and wildlife throughout
Australia. Conventional fertilisers used in agriculture and in home
gardens are the prime suspects.
Formulated for Australian conditions
We’ve formulated
Shades of Green specifically for Australian conditions to restore a healthy balance of nutrients in your soil.
Our agronomists have studied Australia’s unique soils, dry climate, and
fragile ecosystems for over 10 years. They’ve found that local soils
lack many essential minerals and are overloaded with other, potentially
harmful minerals.
Better nutritional value
Shades of Green
is dedicated to more environmentally sensitive farming and gardening
methods for growing healthy food. Our fertilisers restore the balance
of nutrients in the soil and encourage natural microbial action for
plant health.
Decades of overuse has degraded soils across all the agricultural
regions of the world. Australia’s ancient ecology and natural soil
condition exacerbate the problem. Scientists now know that the
nutrient density of the food we eat has been seriously depleted.
Slow release
Shades of Green
is a slow release fertiliser that goes on nourishing your soil for 6-8
months after application. It’s much better for the health of your
plants, the environment, and your pocket.
Conventional fertilisers are deceptive. You see an immediate showy
burst of plant growth. But 6 weeks later, 90% of your fertiliser has
been washed away into our ground water and river systems.
Cost effective
Shades of Green is a long-acting, slow release fertiliser made from
natural ingredients. It’s environmentally-friendly and cost effective.
Conventional fertilisers are designed to require frequent application.
Most only work for about 6 weeks. You can expect to pay a lot and pay
often. The price of chemical fertilisers is linked to price of oil.
As oil supplies dwindle, the already high cost of chemical fertilisers
must continue to rise dramatically.
