The Science

Field trials conducted in 2003 at the Biological Husbandry Unit at Lincoln (NZ) showed vegetable yield/weight increased 30% - 39% over 'control' in four separate tests - a phenomenal result for agriculture

Dr Tim Jenkins soil scientist and microbiologist described these findings as demonstrating a "concentrated combination of mineral and organic fertiliser material obviously benefiting the tested crop plants through feeding the soil rather that forcing plant growth with salt-based fertilisers".
