Why are Shades of Green fertilisers different from any others?

Shades of Green fertilisers contain lime, dolomite and naturally blended ores to deliver a comprehensive array of over 60 essential minerals into the soil profile.

Shades of Green fertilisers also contain humates, silicates and zeolites which build the holding capacity of soil and nourish soil microbial life. All of these ingredients are essential to build balanced, sustainable soils that can be farmed or gardened year after year.

It is a well recognised fact that there is a worldwide decline in the fertility of our cultivated soils. Soils are profoundly depleted of many essential minerals; macro-minerals such as calcium, magnesium and trace minerals such as copper, zinc, boron, selenium, manganese and others. Consequently, many of these minerals are either completely missing or severely deficient in the food chain from soils to plants to animals to humans.

Growing food crops, flowers or foliage removes nutrients from the soil. These nutrients must be replenished every year to prevent a decline in soil fertility. Conventional mineral fertilisers contain only nitrogen, phosphate and potassium, along with perhaps a couple of trace minerals. These fertilisers do not correct the holding capacity of the soil or foster soil microbial life. In fact, they are often highly acidic and compromise soil life.

Composts, mulches and manures provide sources of organic material, but do not address mineral deficiencies in the soil in an analytical fashion. There is no guarantee that any batch of compost or manure will contain sufficient and balanced mineral levels. All composts and manure products are only as good as their source ingredients, which are themselves affected by the severe depletion or unbalancing of minerals in almost all soil food chains in the modern farming world today.

Shades of Green fertilisers are unique in the marketplace because they deliver a wide array of minerals into the soil in a balanced ratio. The application of Shades of Green fertilisers to your gardens or farms mimics the way nature formed most fertile soils in the past by delivering minerals into the soil profile via glacial snow melts, volcanic activity or the flooding of river plains.

No other fertiliser on the market has such a comprehensive array of ingredients all in the one bag.
