Compost Tea Starter 5L
Diatomaceous Earth (Food Grade)
Diatomaceous earth is used as an insecticide, due to its abrasive and physico-sorptive properties. The fine powder absorbs lipids from the waxy outer layer of insects’ exoskeletons, causing them to dehydrate. Arthropods die as a result of the water pressure deficiency, based on Fick’s law of diffusion. This also works against gastropods and is commonly employed in gardening to defeat slugs. However, since slugs inhabit humid environments, efficacy is very low. It is sometimes mixed with an attractant or other additives to increase its effectiveness.
Diatomaceous earth is also a good source of silica containing around 80%.

Gypsum
Natural Gypsum
10L = Approx. 11kg
Gypsum or Calcium Sulphate Dihydrate (CaSO4.2H20) is Nature’s very own plant super food. It increases and maintains plant health by providing them with large amounts of soluble Calcium and Sulphur: two elements essential to plant growth. Gypsum is extracted from an open-air mine in Yzerfontein using recycled water only. Here are its features:
Soluble calcium helps overcome the dispersion effects of magnesium or sodium ions, enhancing soil aggregation and porosity to improve aeration and water infiltration
Agricultural standards require gypsum of only natural sources to be used on plants and with current purity levels of 85%; our gypsum is literally the best there is.
Humic Acid Powder
Humic acid powder is extracted from highly active organic Leonardite, making it one of the most effective and profitable soil conditioners on the market.
Globally, precious soil carbon has been depleted from our soils, leaving farmers without these essential and necessary components which enables them to be sustainable and profitable for generations to come. Humates have the highest organic carbon levels of any natural product. Humic acid is known for its effective promotion of beneficial soil fungi (including mycorrhiza) which creates a desirable crumb structure in the soil.
