Step 1 – Soil Testing

Why Grow Natives?

Before applying any product, Ocean2Earth emphasises the importance of soil testing. Why?
It enables farmers and growers to gain valuable insights, such as:

Top Picks

  • – Nutrient Levels – Understand what your soil lacks to cultivate healthy plants.
  • – pH Balance – Correct unhealthy pH levels for better crop growth.
  • – Microbial Activity – Monitor organic matter and soil microorganisms for optimal soil
    health.

With a simple soil test, growers can make informed, targeted decisions to improve yields and
reduce overuse of fertilisers and leeching waste.

Step 2 – Biologically Activated Minerals (BAM)

Ocean2Earth’s Biologically Activated Minerals (BAM) is the foundation of our system.

● How it works: BAM is applied through conventional top-dressing methods to enhance soil with essential nutrients and create greater microbial activity. 

● Benefits:
–  Boosts soil microbial health.
–  Reduces chemical fertiliser dependence.
–  Produces nutrient-rich, cost-effective crops.

Why BAM? It facilitates sustainable farming while improving productivity, directly impacting
the quality of pastures, crops, and even livestock health.

Step 3 – SEA SPRAY – Potent Seafood Hydrolysate

Ocean2Earth doesn’t stop at the soil—it takes plant nourishment to the next level with Sea
Spray, a premium fish hydrolysate solution.

What is Sea Spray?

  • – A seafood buffet for your plants, Sea Spray delivers marine-derived minerals, amino acids, natural nitrogen, and proteins directly to the root zone. It feeds the plant through the rhizosphere and the stomata, meaning that plants can absorb nutrients efficiently—even in challenging conditions like cold soil temperatures.

–Benefits of Sea Spray:
–  Speeds up nutrient uptake for healthier, more vigorous plants
–  Enhances microbial activity, improving overall soil fertility.
–  Supports plants' resilience to stressors such as climate fluctuations.
–  Perfect for organic or boosted nutrient farming.With its focus on delivering nutrients directly and efficiently, Sea Spray is a versatile companion to Ocean2Earth’s BAM system. It is best to conduct a soil test to check for nutrient deficiencies in the soil and determine the appropriate type and amount of extra trace elements needed to improve plant growth and health.
Supporting Products for Ultimate Flexibility 
Ocean2Earth offers a range of supplementary products to tailor their system for different crops, soil profiles, and farming goals.
1. Cal/Mag with 2% Humate
–  Balanced calcium/magnesium ratio to optimize soil and crop health for low- calcium/magnesium soils.
–  Enhanced nitrogen retention and nutrient balance.
1. Foliar with 2% Humate 
–  Perfect for seed beds and topsoil health, delivering fast-acting NPK and essential
minerals.

  • – Ideal for budget-conscious farmers looking to enhance soil productivity.

1. N/P with 2% Humate 
–  Precision nitrogen application combined with essential phosphorous, seaweed, and
trace elements.
–  Designed to correct deficiencies while promoting efficient nitrogen use.
1. Trace with 2% Humate 
–  A liquid trace element solution offering critical nutrients like selenium, zinc, boron,
and manganese.
–  Improves soil and crop resilience and provides an effective alternative to dry trace
mixes.

  • What Are Humates? These naturally occurring organic materials improve soil water
    retention, nutrient absorption, and soil structure, forming the backbone of Ocean2Earth’s
    liquid nutrient products.

The Big Picture Benefits 

FOR FARMERS

  •  Cost Efficiency – By improving soil health, Ocean2Earth reduces the need for expensive chemical fertilisers.
  • Higher Productivity – Nutrient-rich pastures and better crop yields ensure a higher return on investment.
  • Livestock Well-being – Improved feed quality benefits milk and butterfat production while supporting animal health.

FOR THE PLANET 

  • Waste Reduction – By diverting 500+ tons of seafood waste from landfills annually, Ocean2Earth promotes a sustainable, circular economy.
  • Environmentally Friendly Practices – Reduced dependency on synthetic fertilisers minimizes the ecological footprint of farming.
  • Healthier Ecosystems – Natural nutrient cycles are restored.

Partnering for a Better Future 
At Ocean2Earth, environmental responsibility and agricultural productivity go hand in hand. By choosing their innovative system, farmers, horticulturists, and agricultural businesses can take steps toward creating a sustainable, resilient future.

Autumn Citrus Success: Healthy Soil and Sea Minerals

Autumn in the temperate regions of Australia is a critical time for gardeners, especially those nurturing citrus trees. These fruit-bearing wonders thrive on more than just sunlight and water; the secret lies beneath the surface in the health of the soil. In this article, we’ll explore how a symbiotic relationship between beneficial microbes, vital sea-derived minerals, and robust soil can lead to citrus that are not just good – but great and how healthy soil leads to healthy plants and fruit.

Great Citrus Fruit starts with Healthy Soil: The health of soil is paramount when it comes to growing citrus fruit. It’s the life force that fuels stronger root growth, leads to healthier plants, and acts as a defence against pests and diseases. But what exactly makes soil ‘healthy’? The answer is thriving microbial life.

Beneficial Microbes – Nature’s Essential Workers

Microbes in the soil play a significant role in amplifying the availability of essential nutrients through increased cation exchange. This enhances the brix levels in plants, which is a fancy way of saying more natural sugars are produced, leading to better-tasting fruit. Furthermore, these microscopic allies bolster the plant’s intake of nutrition, ensuring every orange, lemon, or lime from your tree is the taste and health.

Minerals from the Sea:Trace Elements!

Our oceans are teeming with life, but did you know that they are also a reservoir of vital minerals? For citrus plants, adding a pinch of the ocean’s bounty – which includes calcium, iron, magnesium, and phosphorus – can work wonders.

  • Calcium and iron ensure lush green leaves, a testament to evident plant vigour.
  • Magnesium is like a health tonic for the entire plant, necessary for photosynthesis and overall well-being.
  • Phosphorus secures the promise of strong roots, providing a solid foundation for the beauty that blooms above.

The Role of Phosphorus and Potting Mix Boosters

In particular, Phosphorus is crucial for root development, which is vital during the autumn season as plants prepare for the cooler months ahead. For those growing citrus in containers, incorporating a potting mix booster such as Ocean2Earth,  that’s rich in these sea-derived minerals can replicate these conditions found in nature.

Stronger Plant Growth – Seasonally Adjusted

Each season brings its own charm and challenges, and autumn is the time to lend your citrus trees some extra care. Supporting them with the right mix of minerals replicates the balance of elements they would naturally find in a thriving coastal ecosystem.

Big Blooms, Tasty Fruit, and Shiny Leaves

When a citrus tree has all it needs, it shows. Expect to see:

  • Big, vibrant flowers: harbingers of the juicy fruit to come.
  • Tasty fruit: with complexity in flavor, thanks to higher sugar levels.
  • Healthy shiny leaves: reflecting vitality, contributing to the photosynthesis powerhouse.

Sustainability: Giving Back to Mother Earth

While we take from the sea, it’s essential to give back to the land. By diverting products like fish waste destined for landfill into microbially rich soil enhancers, we’re not just reducing Carbon emissions but enriching our garden soil sustainably. Similarly, opting for sustainable packaging solutions for gardening supplies plays a small but significant role in our quest for greener living.

Grow better Citrus this Autumn

For gardeners with dreams of helathy and delicious citrus fruit and for those already growing, remember that Autumn is an opportunity. Adjusting our practices to include the gifts of the sea and the partnership of microbes can upgrade the typical growing experience to one that truly celebrates natural richness and sustainability.

It is never too late to improve your soil as these microbes and minerals will go to work immediately. Citrus are heavy feeders and go through flowering and then Fruit set, so added micronutrients will help stave off pests and diseases at the important stages.

Healthy plants, stunning flowers, and delicious fruits provide a daily reminder of the role healthy soil, and a little oceanic assistance, play in the circle of life. It’s time to roll up your sleeves and give your citrus trees the underfoot conditions they need to flourish. Your taste buds will thank you come harvest time!
