Questions and answers about Troforte M natural mineral fertiliser.
Is Troforte M All purpose suitable for all my garden?
You can use it your pot plants, fruit trees, vegetable garden, shrubs and trees. In fact Troforte M is suitable for the whole garden. A 10kg bucket is usually sufficient for a whole garden, for 4 months.
There is a special mini chip product for lawns (Fert O Lawn), but if you have a small garden, you can use Troforte M all Purpose on your lawn too.
Why is Fert O Lawn better for lawns?
It is a micro sized granule/chip and therefore it falls easily thru the grass, onto the soil below. Its breaks up quite quickly after watering in. Therefore it is not picked up by the mower.
Does this fertiliser have any smell?
Answer: Only a very slight smell when in the container. No smell after application.
Is it Pet safe?
Pets are not attracted to Troforte M. It’s river and reef safe too!
How long can I store it?
Answer: The product may last for years but we recommend use within 11 months of purchase.
Looks like the commercial granule in 20kg bags is different in appearance to the 10kg home garden granule?
Answer: yes, the 10kg home garden pack has a different construction to give a bit faster early release and therefore you will see quicker results. Both products have the same analysis.
Will the product really feed a garden for four months?
Answer: Yes, in fact it may last for 5-6 months but we recommend you re apply after 4 months.
Is this product organic?
Answer: Its not organic, its natural minerals +beneficial microbes & fungi. It also contains some slow release nutrients as well to feed the microbes. It’s very safe for the environment , it’s river and reef safe. You can read more about this in detail in the data on this product on this website. Our approach: feed the Microbes, feed the soil, then feed the plants.
Is this product safe to handle ?
Answer: It’s fine to handle it with your hands but we do provide a scoop in the bucket to measure and control application rates. Do not place your wet , sweaty hands in the bucket if you intend to store the product. Moisture is the trigger to wake up the microbes.
Where do the beneficial microbes and fungi come from?
They are all naturally occurring Australian species. Your soil is a living structure. Earthworms and Microbes are necessary for a healthy soil. Droughts and the use of chemical fertilisers and Fungicides reduces and even kills microbe and earthworm populations.
Is this product better than organic fertilisers?
There is nothing wrong with using organic fertilisers. But Troforte M provides a very much better level and delivery of nutrients than can be obtained from organics. You can continue to use organics along with Troforte M as both kinds of products work in harmony.
Importantly, this product is not made from the by-products of animals that have been slaughtered, nor is it made from the waste of animals that have been farmed in constricted environments.
How about liquid organics? How do they compare?
Liquid organics are a useful supplement. It’s a cheap way to top up your feeding program. It does not replace the use of solid fertilisers. You can continue to use liquid organics along with Troforte M.
