Establish What’s in Your Soil Bank Account

We start by identifying the nutrients in your soil’s “term deposit” and “current account.”

Term deposit account: The total reserves of nutrients locked in your soil (similar to a mining assay).

Current account: The nutrients currently available to your crops or pasture.

By understanding both, we can tailor a plan that optimizes your soil’s health and productivity.

Analysis and Planning

We assess the current and term deposit nutrient levels in your soil, comparing the results with on-farm observations. Based on this comprehensive analysis, we design a custom plan that aligns with your farm’s goals, management practices, and budget, ensuring optimal productivity.

Soil Amendments

A once-a-year application tailored to your farm, combining sea minerals, trace elements, biology, fungal species, humates, and silicas. This approach means no need for starter fertilizers, side dressings, or chasing cows with urea. It’s a comprehensive solution designed to boost soil health and reduce the reliance on conventional inputs.

Transition and Confirmation

We use herbage and soil nitrogen testing to guide your progress throughout the program. This ensures that we’re tapping into your soil’s natural reserves and avoiding unnecessary inputs or reactions. It’s a science-backed approach that delivers proof and confidence, helping you make informed decisions without overspending.

Observation

At this stage, we step back and observe how your farm or orchard responds to the program. This is where we see the soil and plants come to life. By paying attention to these changes, we can feel the farm getting stronger, and we even use kinesiology as a fun way to track these developments.

Get Out of the Way!

Nature doesn’t need you to have it all figured out—it already has! The challenge is resisting the urge to interfere. You don’t need to follow the cows or sit on the tractor constantly. Your role now is to embrace the process, trust in the changes, and pay attention to the subtle signals your farm is sending. Let nature do the work.

Reviews

Hear how our farmers have realised increased yields, reduced input costs and have achieved a better lifestyle

After six weeks of Ecofarm blend over our whole farm, the cows are now on the second round and we have the lowest cell count in the vat ever and even that is steadily decreasing still.

These girls have been milked already and at the time this photo was taken (10.16am), they are content enough to just sit and contemplate. The animals will tell you when you are doing it right.

We had reduced the herd from 600 to 480 cows and achieved the same production of 1000kgMS/Ha.

We use Vitus from Paeroa with our young stock – they devour it and the vet commented on how quiet, well grown and healthy they are.

For the spring season we noticed an improvement in the health of the cows with only one with sore feet, and no retained placentas. They are cycling really well too now.

Paula Bygrave, Hakaru

I just thought I’d call and let you know that we are ecstatic with the results. There is no grass anywhere except on our place (this was a call in mid February).

It’s been a while since we had plenty of cover through summer when it is this dry! Yes, we did the sand treatment, followed with the recommended fertiliser. We have also noticed a reduction in our thistle problem.

Over all, we are hoping for a bumper crop of lambs this year as the ewes are in excellent condition compared to last year. All our other stock are looking pretty amazing as well.
