Hi, it's Keith Giertych from Growth Products.

Everyone knows about phosphate – the ever-important ‘P’ in N-P-K fertilizers. But fewer people know about phosphite or understand what a powerful effect it has on trees, turf, and crops. Phosphite improves plant color, stimulates bloom, increases root mass, and significantly bolsters plant health. Let’s take a look at how it works.

GardenPEG Plastic Fixing Pegs are a quick and easy way to fix woven agrotextiles nonwoven agrotextiles to the ground.

Thanks to specifically designed spurs, GardenPEG punches through the textile to fix and prevent the pegs from pulling out of the ground. The flat head presses the textile against the ground while inhibiting it from lifting up and/or slipping.

Sportsmaster WSF Seaweed is a premium soluble seaweed and fertiliser with TMax technology that is designed for enhanced foliar and root nutrient uptake and improved plant health. Ideal for use on greens, tees, fairways, sports fields and nurseries as a tank mix partner for liquid and foliar nutrition or to compliment a granular fertiliser programme.

Whether you're working the tough red clay in Georgia or some of the poor sandy soils I've seen in Australia, all plants need the same components for healthy growth.

I'm pleased to say that I've helped growers from Seattle to Singapore achieve success, with all aspects of growing, by offering products that work in virtually any growing situation; golf course greens, fruit trees, landscaping, greenhouses and more.

One product I'd like to focus on in this newsletter is our EPA registered* Companion® Biological Fungicide*. (Not registered in Australia - see footnote below)
