Nutrients
The Hedge Man’s fertilisation approach addresses the specific needs of South Australian soils. Whether you have a lush ornamental garden, a productive vegetable patch, or a native landscape, our expert team understands the unique requirements of each plant type and soil condition.
We offer tailored fertilisation solutions that promote healthy growth, enhance flowering, and improve overall plant resilience. With a commitment to sustainability and eco-friendly practices, we utilise high-quality, locally sourced materials to ensure that your garden not only looks stunning but also contributes positively to the environment.
- Custom-blended fertilisers for different regions (e.g., Adelaide Plains, Barossa Valley, Fleurieu Peninsula) to ensure compatibility with local conditions.
- Slow-release formulations that provide sustained nutrition over time, reducing the need for frequent applications.
- Organic and synthetic options tailored to your gardening philosophy, allowing you to choose what aligns best with your values.
- Seasonal adjustments to support your plants’ changing needs throughout the year.
Trace Elements
We ensure your plants have access to every essential nutrient:
- Comprehensive soil analysis to identify specific deficiencies in trace elements crucial for plant health.
- Targeted supplementation of trace elements like boron, zinc, and molybdenum to support robust growth.
- Chelated nutrient formulations designed for improved absorption by plants, ensuring they receive what they need when they need it.
- Foliar applications for rapid nutrient uptake during critical growth phases or when deficiencies are detected.
Mulch
Mulching is an essential practice that offers numerous benefits for your garden, including effective weed suppression, moisture retention, and temperature regulation. By acting as a natural barrier, mulch inhibits weed growth and reduces competition for resources while helping to retain soil moisture and insulate plant roots from extreme temperatures. Organic mulches enrich the soil as they decompose, improving its structure and fostering beneficial organisms. Additionally, mulch helps prevent soil erosion and enhances the visual appeal of your landscape, providing a polished look.
Curated Mulch Selection
We offer a refined selection of high-quality mulching materials, including:
- Organic Options: Artisanal bark, hand-selected wood chips, and premium straw
- Inorganic Choices: Elegant gravel and carefully sourced pebbles
- Specialty Blends: Tailored mulches for specific plant types
Our team offers expert advice and follow-up care to ensure the long-term success of your garden. Contact us today to schedule a consultation!
Compost
We elevate your soil’s potential with our carefully curated compost blends:
- Locally-sourced materials, including native plant matter that enhances compatibility with South Australian flora.
- Varied textures in compost to improve soil structure and enhance water retention capabilities.
- Rich in beneficial microorganisms, our compost boosts soil health by fostering a thriving ecosystem beneath the surface.
- Customised ratios of green and brown materials ensure balanced nutrient release and promote healthy microbial activity.
Density
Our density management techniques ensure your soil provides the perfect foundation for root growth:
- Advanced aeration methods for compacted soils that inhibit root development and water infiltration.
- Clay and sand amendments tailored to achieve an ideal texture for optimal drainage and nutrient retention.
- Incorporation of organic matter to improve soil structure, promoting better aeration and moisture retention.
- Tailored solutions for different garden zones, such as lawn areas, vegetable patches, and native gardens.
PH
We fine-tune your soil’s pH to create the optimal growing environment:
- Comprehensive pH testing across your entire garden to identify specific areas needing adjustment.
- Targeted applications of lime or sulphur to effectively modify acidity levels based on plant requirements.
- Specialised treatments for acid-loving plants, such as camellias and azaleas, ensuring they thrive in their preferred conditions.
- Ongoing monitoring to maintain ideal pH ranges for diverse plant collections.
Microbes
Our advanced microbial treatments introduce a thriving ecosystem to your soil:
- Carefully selected strains of beneficial bacteria and fungi that enhance nutrient availability and plant health.
- Mycorrhizal fungi that improve nutrient uptake and drought resistance by forming symbiotic relationships with plant roots.
- Nitrogen-fixing bacteria that naturally enhance soil fertility by converting atmospheric nitrogen into a form accessible to plants.
- Protozoa and nematodes that help balance the soil food web, promoting a healthy environment for plant growth.
