Verigrow, O'Connor, WA

Verigrow is a new fertiliser and soil improver produced by WA-based company Veratin. The company uses waste wool from local WA sheep farms to produce a high-end, all-purpose product that is rich in amino acids and significantly improves the organic content of the soil. Verigrow is a flexible product and fits a wide range of farming practices. It can be used in higher doses, less frequently, or lower doses, more frequently. Verigrow is mixed with water during its application and can therefore be used in any season, wet or dry. Verigrow can be used prior to seeding to improve the soil condition, during seeding or after seeding.Pre-plant application can be beneficial. It allows the nitrogen to penetrate below the top layer of the soil where it can later be accessed by crops.We recommend use every 4-6 weeks for home gardens and every 2 weeks for commercial farms.Verigrow is made by extracting the protein — keratin — from wool, which is itself made up of amino acids. These amino acids help plants combat stress, increase root mass, activate natural defence mechanisms, and enhance photosynthesis by increasing the chlorophyll concentration. They also promote nutrient absorption and stimulate the essential metabolic activities in the plant.Verigrow is a practical and versatile product which can be effectively applied to all types of lawn, garden beds and pot plants. There is no need to add any additional soil improvers. Being a liquid fertiliser, Verigrow has also been successfully used in aquaponics, and is safe for use on herbs, fruit and vegetables.
