VicMill’s range of slow release natural fertilisers delivers proportionate forms of carbonates, soluble citrates, sulphates and humates, prescribed to improve the structure and vitality of the soil, ultimately promoting Humic stimulation for microbial activity in the soil’s biomass, with no chemical residual. These fertilisers are safe and effective throughout the whole garden.Why VicMill Natural Humate

Fertilisers for your soil?The ‘Lawns & Garden’ range of Vicmill Humate fertilisers are chemically clean products based around naturally derived

elements and minerals formulated to activate and stimulate the many biological processes that take place in the soil, necessary for good soil fertility, often inhibited, due in part to residual contaminates found in many synthetically derived conventional home garden fertilisers.

When VicMill’s Natural Humate fertilisers are applied to the soil, they help balance and unite the soils biological and chemical properties, thus improving the physical structure of the soil. For these processes to take place, the availability of nutrients for plant uptake via the root zone is directly attributed to the inter-reaction of the many complex soil borne micro-organisms, necessary for not only the distribution and function of these elements and mineral properties in the plant, but as importantly to enhance the sustainability of these living organisms in performing these roles. Put simply humic substances released by soil borne micro-organisms biologically condition the soil.

Many conventional fertilisers bypass the plants normal feeding mechanism of exchanging nutrients for hydrogen ions which the plant is constantly transferring to the soil. Designed and manufactured to dissolve in water, these forms of nutrients are soluble in the soil solution, the plant will thus get an extra boost of nutrients when it takes up water. This solubility in the soil solution also allows nutrients to be lost by leeching into the sub soil before the plant can take them up.

Once VicMill’s ‘Lawns & Garden’ range of fertilisers are applied to the soil, nutrients become suspended in the soil solution. This suspension allows these nutrients to attach themselves to the colloidal clays and humus in the soil so that the plant takes up neccessary elements and minerals via it’s roots. When nutrients reach the plant they have already been broken down or chelated with organic molecules to aide efficiency in the uptake process.

What are Humates?The most important and biologically active group of

many broken down processes of soil organic materials is the alkali soluble faction, commonly known as Humic Acid. The salts of these humic acids are known as Humates.

Put Simply - Humus is the end result of organic matter, which is derived from green vegetation being broken down by bacteria and enzymes under the right biological conditions.

Technically - Humates are dark coloured amorphous polymers which are essentially hydrocarbons of high molecular weight (very dense) containing oxygen in the form of carboxyls, hydroxyls and carbonyls. They are formed by the microbiological decomposition of plant materials chiefly lignon and proteins to a point where all traces of their origin can be lost.

Humates and their water wise characteristicsHumates create a desirable soil structure that facilitates water infiltration around the root

zone and when needed, provides a beneficial carrier for essential nutrients required by the soil micro-organisms to translocate these elements and minerals to the plant’s roots.

During periods of dry weather humates help stabilise soil temperatures and slow the rate of evaporation due to their insulating properties that help maintain a more uniform soil temperature. This is significant during severe climate changes such as heat waves, because when temperature fluctuations in the soil are reduced moisture is less likely to be released into the atmosphere.

Humates function as water sponges and it is this sponge like characteristic that has the capacity

to carry several times its volume in water, even greater than typical heavy clay soils. Available water is without a doubt the most important component of fertile soil and the most critical substance derived by plants from the soil.

Soil contaminationsScientifically any chemical compound that releases electrically

charged particles (called ions) when it dissolves in water is a salt. Compound fertilisers we commonly use in the garden actually contain salts which can be detrimental to the plant’s capacity to uptake nutrients via the root system if applied in excess.

Plants are entirely at the mercy of their environment so unfortunately for the immobile plant, when exposed to too much salt, it can be a fatal experience. Once inside the cell, salt can cause ionic stresses, largely as (Na) Sodium and (Ci) Chloride inhibiting metabolic processes including protein synthesis. (Na) sodium can rise to toxic levels in older leaves, causing them to die. This reduces the leaf area available for photosynthesis and so the plant cannot sustain growth.

Soil naturally contains a variety of salts either in mineralised forms due to the weathering of geological rock or dissolved salts found in town water we regularly apply to our lawns and gardens, however fertilisers remain the most significant source of soil contamination as salts for the home gardener. Recognising the signs of salinity in the garden can appear as a crusting of salt on the soil’s surface or around a pot, plants may visually show water stress like symptoms such as wilting or yellowing, followed by a browning at the margins of the leaves, particularly during dry spells as salts dissolved in water become more concentrated, this can be made more acute by the best intended fertiliser application, compounding the effects by accelerating water drawn from the plants roots.

So we come to the solution crossroads, theoretically flushing the salts through the soil’s profile sounds logical, but unless you are a geologist then it may be difficult to determine a sodium measurement in the soil’s surface layer (top soil) this can directly affect soil permeability. As the Sodium content increases there is a tendency to destroy the soil’s friability. As the plant’s roots move deeper the effects of sodium become compounded in the inert colloidal substructure of the soil (subsoil), greatly influencing moisture and nutrient movements, slowed by the absence of micro-organisms and oxygen necessary for soil biological life compounding the effects of hydrogen associated with waterlogging.

By increasing the biological health in your soil, humic substances released by soil borne micro-organisms withhold naturally or synthetically derived contaminates, so while still present, their detrimental characteristics are neutralised and will be eventually broken down.

Humus is the soil’s biological reservoir, hosting bacteria and fungi which convert essential minerals and elements to plant digestible forms. It is in this same process that humic substances hold contaminates such as heavy metals, salts and organic chlorides until they can be satisfactorily digested by the many biological actions that take place in the biomass of healthy soil.

This Humate fertiliser has been specifically formulated for garden soils predominately high in contaminates either naturally occurring as (Na) Sodium or synthetically derived salts, heavy metals organo chlorides, all of which can be attributed to inhabiting plant vigour and vitality. (H) Hydrogen is prevalent in both acidic and alkaline soil (pH) types creating a ‘constipation’ of essential major and minor elements and minerals.

The BIO-GRAN (SOIL ACTIVATOR) analysis reflects the balance of (N) Nitrogen as natural organic compounds, a critical element in plant production, responsible for vigour that in turn encourages good root development, yet can easily be washed from the soil profile and umates which gives this activator fertiliser it’s soil conditioning characteristics. This fertiliser also contains a balance of minerals formulated to improve the friability and structural qualities in sodic soils exchanging (Na) Sodium for (Ca) Calcium and improve the colloidal capacity of the clay particles thus reducing the effects of salinity on the soil while (Mg) Magnesium assists availability of this cation when (K) Potassium levels are excessive, thus fulfilling its function in the formation of chlorophyll in the plant. Additionally elemental sulphur has been included to stimulate the formation of plant proteins, enzymes, vitamins and vigour.

Unique to the ‘Lawns & Garden’ range BIO-GRAN (SOIL ACTIVATOR) carries a comprehensive list of minor elements including (Zn) Zinc, (Mn) Manganese, (B) Boron, (Cu) Copper, (Fe) Iron and (Mo) Molybdenum all fulfilling important functions from regulation of water, plant metabolism, cellular structure, transportation of oxygen, protein formation, translocation of sugars to the regulation of major elements, Even aiding in the plants utilization of nitrate nitrogen, Making BIO-GRAN (SOIL ACTIVATOR) a universal soil conditioner for every home gardener.

Bio-Gran Soil Activator

Complete Organic Fertiliser (C.O.F) is the most universal product in the ‘Lawns & Garden’ range, containing only naturally derived mineral forms of plant nutrients such as magnesite, reactive phosphate rock, lime, gypsum, humatesderived from nitrified brown coal and various sulphates including potassium sulphate. The low analysis characteristics of Complete Organic Fertiliser utilise nutrients in slow releasing form to improve soil fertility, allowing the plant to feed properly and therefore build a healthy and strong cell structure, best illustrated when (N) Nitrogen is supplied to the plant beyond its capacity to photosynthesise, this upsets the nutritional balance of the cell thus weakening the cell structure allowing infection to set in.

Complete Organic Fertiliser uniquely incorporates a balance of essential elements and minerals which when converted in the soil by micro-organisms from organic to inorganic forms of nutrient, permits the plant to access and utilise these nutrients in its complex metabolic process, exemplified by adding (Mg) Magnesium, which enhances the plants utilisation of (P) Phosphorus, or by the addition of (Mn) Manganese, which aids the transportation of oxygen and formation of chlorophyll, requiring (Zn) Zinc, essential for plant metabolism, water reticulation and membrane integrity to perform these roles.

Complete Organic Fertiliser promotes these functions in an easy to apply granular form with no chemical additives used in the manufacturing process. In summary this fertiliser is ideally suited to a wide range of soil types, especially (pH) acid garden soils where hydrogen has supressed microbial activity, making unavailable essential elements and minerals, the effects of which may be seen on (pH) sensitive ornamental plant varieties such as Hydrangeas and Rhododendrons when the cellular structure is compromised allowing diseases to weaken the plants natural defences.
