      Terra Start Soil Conditioner

      Terra Start incorporates Zeolite, Grosorb® soil wetter, Mycorrhizal beneficial fungi and 3-5 month Polyon® mini controlled release fertiliser into the ultimate plant establishment and soil conditioning product.

      The general application rate is 1.2 kg / cubic metre of soil, so I’ve done a quick chart for different tree sizes below.

      It’s based upon having a planting hole of twice the diameter of the tree being planted and at the same depth as the root ball (best practice).

      Terra Start is mixed with the soil taken from the hole.

      Terra Start is a carefully selected and blended soil conditioner to ensure optimum growing conditions for all plantings, including turf, annuals, perennials, trees, shrubs and natives; even the most challenging conditions.

      Incorporated at planting or during renovation, TerraStart will provide the ideal environment for plants to survive and prosper, vastly improving water and nutrient holding capacity in even the poorest soils.

      Terra Start incorporates Zeolite, Grosorb® soil wetter, Mycorrhizal beneficial fungi and 3-5 month Polyon® mini controlled release fertiliser into the ultimate plant establishment and soil conditioning product. The combination of premium materials ensures your plants and turf establish and thrive in all conditions and maintain steady growth.

      APPLICATION
      Apply at site preparation or during renovations for turf or at planting for revegetation and landscaping. Note that whilst Terra Start does contain soil wetter it does not contain water storage crystals which can push new plants out of the ground in some situations. Water absorbent crystals can easily be added at the time of application to suit your requirements.

      If topdressing, sand afterwards to raise the turf profile and minimize Zeolite and controlled release pickup while mowing.

      • Turf: 1000kg per hectare. Spread and incorporate into soil before planting/laying turf.
      • Tree & shrub planting: 1.2kg per cubic metre. Incorporate with soil taken from the hole.
      • Flowers & garden beds: 100g per square metre. Spread and incorporate in soil before planting.
      • Landcare & revegetation: 750 - 1000kg per hectare. Apply lower scale of rate to phosphorus sensitive plants such as Proteaceae.
