Aracaria Biodynamic Farm, located in
Mullumbimby, New South Wales, are now making available to
the home gardener their Biodynamic Preparation 500. This
product is made from manure supplied by Aracaria's own
lactating cows that has been buried in cow horns during the
cooler months of the year. The pure 500 is then embedded in
Aracaria's biodynamic Cow Pat Pit compost. The CPP contains
the biodynamic preparations 502 – 507 as well as crushed egg
shells and basalt dust. Preparation 500 enlivens soil by
improving soil structure and microbiological activity and
promotes humus formation and water holding capacity. You can
divide the preparation into four equal parts and mix in 4 to
8 litres of water. Each part is enough for a seasonal
application providing your home garden with a biodynamic
feast for the full year or you can use the entire pack to
cover .5-1 acre. Illustrated application instructions are
included. Keep the 500 in its special packaging in a cool,
dark, dry place. TS135 1 - 4 $15.00 each

This product is simply bull kelp (not an extract), collected under license from the beaches of Tasmania. It is washed of salt, air dried, chopped and milled to a granular size. Sprinkle into a vegetable garden bed (1 cup to 1.5m2), add to compost, apply to lawn, natives and fruit trees. When applied to the soil, it re-hydrates, swelling significantly in size. It is not recommended to add to water for a spray or watering can application due to the granular consistency. Once wet and in contact with the soil it will start to decompose through microbial action, thereafter releasing over 70 different mineral elements, including every known essential trace element required for plant growth. A full nutrient analysis is available. TS136 1kg $15.00 TS137 3kg $30.00 |

A high-analysis source of micronised calcium combined in a free-flowing suspension with fulvic acid and soil-life metabolites. Calcium is the ‘trucker’ of all minerals and virtually all crops will benefit from a calcium supplement. One litre is equivalent to 100kg of limestone in available calcium content. Application rate can vary from 1ml to 20ml per m2, the lower rate is a calcium boost, the higher rates raises pH. This product is organically certified. TS110 1 litre (makes a min. of 50 L) $22.00TS128 5 litre (Q, NSW, VIC & ACT) $54.50 TS132 5 litre (SA, WA, TAS & NT) $59.50 |

How do you decide which fertiliser to use? For gardeners with large areas, planning new orchards or market gardening, a soil test is essential. It gives you a starting point to judge your soil's improvement over the years and identifies initial problems that have to be addressed. Without the information from a soil test, large sums of money can be wasted on inappropriate fertiliser applications or young trees lost due to nutrient deficiencies. For home gardeners it is hard to go wrong just adding compost to the soil, with organic seaweed or fish fertiliser to help seedlings along. Organically certified fertilisers such as NTS Liquid Humus and Organic Link can safely be used in any gardening situation. Soils vary a great deal from region to region, in some areas of Australia soils are low in magnesium whereas SE Queensland is the reverse, often far too high in magnesium but low in calcium. As a general rule Australian soils are deficient in trace elements which is why a seaweed spray such as Natrakelp is a useful addition. Checking with a local organic gardening organisation will give you the benefit of the members long experience and understanding of your area's climate and soils. See our links page for websites. Why buy organically certified fertiliser? English is a constantly evolving language and changing all the time. Many words have several meanings and 'organic' is one of these. 'Organic' meaning carbon-based is one meaning used as the opposite of inorganic. Grown without the use of chemical fertilisers and pesticides is simply another meaning, that has developed semantically since the early 1900's. This is obviously a valid meaning as the function of language is communication and this meaning is understood by millions of people world-wide. Organically certified fertilisers are those where the original materials and the processes to manufacture them have been audited by an organic certifying organisation. This means that tests are done for heavy metal residues and chemical residues such as fungicides. To give an example, gypsum mined as rock could be available 'organically certified'; gypsum as a waste product from gyprock manufacture with residues including fungicides could not be 'organically certified'.
