Story Title: Delivering Nutrients to Your Fruit/Veg
When planting fruit & veggies, you want to make sure that you’re using premium productive plant mulch.
- Cauliflower is great for liver health, while cabbage and broccoli are both fantastic for gut health. These veggies should be planted now.
- Planting seedlings is incredibly easy – simply put the roots in the soil with the leaves pointing towards the sky. Plant then in a sunny spot around 15-25cm apart.
- You can feed your plants organically with Triple C – this stands for chicken, corn and canola. These are farming byproducts, meaning you’re helping farmers with enriching your soil, and you’re not running the risk of burning your plants.
- A 100ltr bag will cover a good 4-5m squared.
- Dsatco is a close-knit family business.
- You only need a 50mm thick layer of mulch around your plants. It will hold moisture in the soil longer and delivers valuable nutrients from the chicken manure and canola, which boosts soil carbon, and lupin, a natural source of nitrogen.
- Not only is this incredibly good for your garden, the mulch looks great as well.
