Dynamic lifter question for Greenthumbs

[Ratbag]

Dynamic lifter is processed organically to both fertilise and encourage microbial activity in most soil types. This is why it is so effective at its task. However, it's by its nature not so effective in providing essential trace elements. This is where a varied regime of compost (the best fertiliser of all), liquid manure feeds (you know, the old the old poo in the potato bag suspended in the 44 gallon drum, and seaweed soil conditioners help to achieve overall health and vitality to plants, microbes and microflora. Just as we require a varied diet in moderation, so too does the garden. Personally I swear by it. I would usually lightly top dress monthly from early spring to high summer, or about 4 times during the "growing season".

Most modern commercial products are specific use, partly because of the different acidity your yard has shown.
My answer is to use these "as directed' only. I then, during early Autumn and Spring douse the entire garden with the liquor (very diluted - about four water to one) from green cuttings soaked in water for months.

What you cut off plants (including the lawn) is full of the nutrient each plant needs, particularly the minute elements hard to 'make'. This is a way of puting it back at very little cost.

A bit like "instant mulch".

JDub,
I'd be interested in seeing the results of you PH testing the Dynamic Lifter. The comment about lime in it has got me curious, as I use it and other manures quite a bit.
So, if you feel like experimenting with your PH kit.....

FYI I tested the pH of the dynamic lifter with my pH kit.

Came back as 6.5ish.

Cheers
Joel

If your not planning to use DLifter in your regular fertilising program the change in Ph will be not be an issue.

The best method of fertising in a home garden is to rotate the type of fertiliser (with trace elements)...Use DLift every 3rd application.

Cant really go wrong.

In my opinion anyway

One thing about it when you open the bag you will just love the smell.

And so do all the neighbours
