Shane Rush
Central Waikato/ Coromandel Area (Under 15Ha)
I’ve been involved in organic and regenerative agriculture for the past 10 years. My wife Nicki and I bought our 2.5 ha block 5 years ago and have set about turning it into a productive home block with extensive vegetable gardens, food forests and using holistic grazing systems to manage our stock. Nicki and I run regular workshops to help others get more out of their land. One of the most critical aspects of any property, where the goal is to grow healthy nutrient dense food for the people and the animals, is the soil. That’s why we use the full range of Agrisea products on our block. We know that if we are looking after the microbial workforce in the soil that they in turn will look after us.
I can help you get an appropriate fertiliser programme underway for your block and apply the product as well. Give me a call on 0274805586 for a consultation and application rates.
