Did you know that 95% of all life on earth resides in the soil?
Most of the energy required in the world is derived from plant carbon.
In the last century, the world’s agricultural soils have lost 30-75% of their carbon (fertility), reducing production and vastly increasing farming costs.
Even worse, many essential minerals and trace elements contained in your soil naturally are not reaching the plant.
Plants convert simple sugars into carbon compounds through the miracle of photosynthesis.
This is critical to healthy soil structure.
None of this can happen without soil microbes - soil without microbes is just dirt.
Factors such as chemicals, inorganic fertilisers, exposure of bare soil to sunlight, compaction and lack of inorganic carbon can all seriously reduce essential soil microbes and beneficial fungi.
Adding inorganic fertiliser to soil to make up for mineral and carbon depletion is an expensive and often inefficient practice.
Your soil probably contains many of the minerals and trace elements required – they are simply not plant available.
Lime is a relatively inexpensive way to make minerals and trace elements plant available.
Kennedy Creek Lime (KCL) provides lime that contains around 5-6% magnesium carbonate – good for raising the PH of soil and also enhancing plant development (note: the magnesium already in your soil may not necessarily be plant available).
High grade gypsum is available for acid sulphate soils.
Low PH soil is a slippery slope.
The lower your PH gets, the harder it is to recover and the less minerals and trace elements are available to your plants.
KCL operates a strict Quality Assurance program that ensures all products meet expectations.
They consult with professional and private groups to ensure their products continue to deliver desired results.
Kennedy Creek Lime is located between Rockhampton and Mackay in Central Queensland and will be at the Mackay Ag Trade Expo to answer all your soil and fertiliser questions.
A 6 tonne Marshall spreader is provided with all purchases and as of 2022 there is no delivery cost.
