Delivering Biological Life at Scale
Ocean2Earth Compost Extract + Tow and Fert – A Partnership Built for the Paddock
Getting biological products onto large areas of farmland quickly, efficiently, and without damaging the very microbes you’re trying to deliver has always been a challenge. Ocean2Earth has solved this by partnering with Tow and Fert — one of Australia’s leading manufacturers of precision liquid application equipment — to bring Compost Extract to farm at scale.
What Is Ocean2Earth Compost Extract?
Ocean2Earth Compost Extract? Ocean2Earth Compost Extract is a biologically active liquid product that delivers billions of beneficial microbes and spores directly to the leaf surface and soil. When mixed with water, it colonises the plant and soil environment with carbon-cycling fungi, plant-beneficial bacteria, and actinomycetes — organisms that stimulate nutrient cycling, support plant resilience, and enhance the soil’s capacity to convert nutrients into plant-available forms.
Think of it as a cordial for your soil biology — a concentrated, carefully balanced blend that, once diluted and applied, brings your paddock to life.
The Application Challenge
Compost Extract is a living product. Once mixed, it needs to be applied within six hours to preserve maximum microbial activity. It contains ultra-fine particles and active biology that can block conventional nozzles or be damaged by high-shear pumps. Getting it onto large areas quickly — without compromising the product — requires the right equipment.
Why Tow and Fert?
The Tow and Fert MultiCrop 4000 is purpose-built for exactly this kind of application. With a 4,000-litre tank, a 24-metre spray width, and the capacity to cover 40 hectares per load, it allows farmers to apply Ocean2Earth Compost Extract across large areas in a single run — well within the six-hour application window.
Critically, the MultiCrop 4000’s patented boom circulation design and purpose-built stainless steel nozzles remain free from blockages even when applying the most difficult biological and ultra-fine particle mixes. This means the living biology in the Compost Extract is delivered intact, at the right rate, across every hectare.
Application rates of 50–500 litres per hectare give farmers the flexibility to tailor the program to their soil condition, pasture type, and budget.
The Result: Biological Nutrition at Farm Scale
The combination of Ocean2Earth Compost Extract and the Tow and Fert platform means that what was once a labour-intensive, small-scale process can now be rolled out across an entire grazing or cropping operation in a single day. Farmers are seeing improved soil microbial activity, better nutrient cycling, and stronger plant response — without the need for high synthetic inputs.
For Ocean2Earth, the Tow and Fert partnership represents a practical, on-farm solution that bridges the gap between biological science and real-world paddock application. When the right product meets the right machine, the results speak for themselves.
