As you work on growing and maintaining a thriving garden, it’s natural that you’d want to use the best of the best when it comes to fertilisers.

Atlantic Fertilisers has brought a fertiliser previously only available to the commercial market, straight to home gardeners like you. Bio Rock Root Builder is an organic fertiliser that professional growers and landscapers have used for years, and now you can use it, too. It’s a true all-rounder, useful for vegetables, flowers, trees and lawns.

Find out why horticulturists rely on this organic fertiliser, and how you can use it to make a success of your own garden.

What is Bio Rock Root Builder?

Bio Rock Root Builder is a highly concentrated organic fertiliser, which means it doesn’t contain any harmful chemicals or synthetic additives. This is beneficial to your garden for a few reasons:

• It helps you contribute to sustainable and eco-friendly gardening
• Your loved ones (humans and pets) can safely enjoy your garden without any risk of harm
• If you use too much of the fertiliser in your garden, or don’t water your garden immediately after you’ve applied Bio Rock, there’s no need to worry! The fertiliser won’t harm your plants or soil, and it’ll break down and be available until your plants need it.

The fertiliser is enriched with sedimentary soft rock phosphate and high levels of calcium, which both encourage the development of a robust root system in plants. Healthy roots, happy plant!

Why we love Bio Rock Root Builder

There’s a reason this organic fertiliser is a favourite among horticulturists, and why we recommend it for your own garden to flourish, too. 

It packs a nutrient-dense punch

The balanced combination of macro- and micronutrients in Bio Rock Root Builder is all your plants need to produce healthy foliage, roots, flowers and fruit.

The active macro nutrients in the fertiliser are:

• Nitrogen – a key component of chlorophyll
• Phosphorus – essential for plant cell division
• Potassium – important for hydration and drought resistance

The fertiliser also contains trace amounts of sulphur, calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc and other elements, which, in tandem with the main active ingredients, create the perfect environment for everything from your roses to your radishes to grow beautifully.

Finally, but very importantly, Bio Rock Root Builder also contains fulvic and humic acid, which improves the soil’s capacity to retain moisture.

It’s a slow-release fertiliser

The fertiliser provides ongoing nourishment to the areas of your garden where you use it, for up to 3 months! That’s right – your lawn, trees, flowers and veggie patch can enjoy some TLC for an entire season, without you having to plan multiple feeds. 

This is one of the standout features of Bio Rock Root Builder, and why we find it particularly useful for fuss-free gardening.

Staying water-wise

This organic fertiliser is especially appreciated in the drier parts of the country, where rainfall is sporadic and brief. This is because it has also been designed as a water-wise solution.

Because it helps plants develop strong, healthy root systems, it enables them to absorb and use whatever water it can get, more efficiently. Not only that – because it’s an organic fertiliser, it’s not essential that you water immediately after applying it to your garden.
