Benefits:
Recognised as a premier source of organic matter, AusMate contains up to 67% carbon.
Rich in slow-release humic and fulvic acids, which are renowned for their capacity for nutrient release and improving soil structure, while helping to maximise the benefits of applied fertilisers.
Enhances the water holding capacity of soil.
In soils void of significant quantities of clay minerals and organic matter, the addition of AusMate can have a significant impact on soil fertility.
Using AusMate can significantly improve your soil quality, increase your plant growth and nutrient content, lower your fertiliser costs and decrease nitrogen and carbon leaching.
