Mixing and Making a Winning Fertiliser Formula

This hands-on 1/2 day workshop presented by Mark Tupman from Productive Ecology will discuss different types of biofertilisers, including inoculants, compost/vermicast extracts, and bioferments. Mark will also take you through various application methods, including seed/planting treatments, foliar sprays, and soil drenches.

What we’ll cover:

• Which nutrients are needed based on soil and plant testing
• How to develop fertiliser formulations to meet your nutritional requirements
• The most efficient/practical ways to apply them
• When you should apply what based on seasonal crop requirements
• How to make your own liquid fertiliser at home

But this workshop is less about PowerPoint and more about how to boost those paddocks, so be ready to get involved in mixing, brewing and practical hands-on learning. And even better – you’ll head home with 5 litres of your own, personal brew!

PLUS….

Mark is offering one-on-one, heavily subsidised on-farm consults to work with you to develop a bespoke fertility plan for your property. Follow the link to find out more and book your consult.
