FloraTech Elevate grew 66.7% more root mass in Westringia and got Grevillea to its 210mm sales spec around 13 days sooner. The trial ran at Greenstock Nurseries with the same pot, mix and base fertiliser.

CorFlute, mesh or biodegradable? How to choose the right tree guard for your site’s browse pressure, exposure and budget, with sizing, staking, removal guidance and a worked Queensland example.
Wetting agents come in two types: soil products that move water through repellent profiles and potting mix, and spray wetters that improve chemical coverage.
Former Lismore Workers Golf Club superintendent Josh Straub joins Fernland's turf sales team, bringing more than 20 years of hands-on turf experience.
Planting density sets your labour, guards and replacement allowance. The first six weeks set your establishment count. A practical guide for revegetation contractors covering root checks at delivery, site preparation, planting rate per operator, weed control by scale, and the return schedule that decides whether a planting holds.
Your turf has not stopped recovering. It has stopped being able to. By mid-winter, most sports fields and fine turf surfaces have hit the same wall. Divots from Saturday are still open the following weekend. Frosted corners stay grey for days. Disease scars from a cold, damp week are not healing, and weeds are filling the [...]
Fernland is now stocking the full Transplant Systems air-root pruning seedling tray range, giving Australian forestry nurseries, revegetation contractors, and commercial vegetable seedling producers access to one of the most technically advanced propagation tray systems available. Built from UV-stabilised virgin HDPE and engineered for both manual handling and nursery automation, the Transplant Systems range covers six [...]
Procurement language in Australian revegetation is shifting. Council tenders, NRM grant conditions, and corporate ESG-linked planting contracts increasingly require contractors to spec a "plastic-free" or "fully biodegradable" planting kit. For crews who have run the same plastic Corflute and synthetic stake combination for a decade, this raises a practical question: what actually qualifies as plastic-free, [...]
Sphagnum peat has been a fixture in nursery growing media for decades. Its water-holding capacity, low bulk density, and predictable pH made it the reliable default for plug production, tubestock, and container growing across Australia and globally. That position is now shifting. Not because peat performs poorly, but because the case for depending on it [...]
Jute products break down in 6 to 18 months depending on product type and conditions. Coir netting lasts 2 to 5 years. Both are 100% biodegradable, wildlife-safe, and classified as Rolled Erosion Control Products (RECPs) under IECA Australasia guidelines. The right choice depends on your slope grade, water exposure, project timeline, and budget. Jute is [...]
Coir-based growing media has become standard practice in Australian production nurseries. It holds up to eight times its weight in water, rewets easily after drying, maintains its structure longer than bark or peat, and is produced from a renewable coconut industry byproduct. But many growers who switch to coir find that plants yellow unexpectedly, root [...]
The fertiliser is doing less work than you think If your turf program runs on fertiliser, irrigation, and reactive fungicide applications — you're managing symptoms. The soil underneath is the real production engine, and in most Australian turf situations, it's running below capacity. Compacted profiles, depleted microbial populations, and locked-up phosphorus don't show up on a colour [...]
