Discovering Verigrow - Sustainable Fertiliser Products from Sheep's Wool

I. Introduction


  • Verigrow is our trusted brand for plant and soil health nutrition at Perth Trees Direct. The range includes liquid fertilisers, soil improvers, soil wetters, and biodegradable plant pots, all designed to enhance your gardening experience. Verigrow Fertiliser and Soil Improver represents a breakthrough in plant nutrition. This innovative all-purpose fertiliser and soil improver is derived from sustainable low-grade wool and is rich in amino acids—the essential building blocks of plant growth. Over 75% of wool is composed of amino acids, and Verigrow harnesses this power to boost plant health. The product contains both organic (from amino acids) and inorganic sources of nitrogen (12% w/v total N). The inorganic nitrogen offers an immediate nutrient boost, while the organic nitrogen ensures a slow release for a longer-lasting effect. Verigrow Fertiliser and Soil Improver is versatile and can be used on lawns, fruit trees, vegetables, flowers, native plants, herbs, and broadacre crops. At Perth Trees Direct, we use Verigrow products daily and can attest to their effectiveness. Join us in supporting sustainable gardening practices and nurturing a healthier garden with Verigrow.

IV. Real-world Applications


  • Broadacre Cropping - Verigrow Fertiliser and Soil Improver, crafted from waste wool and rich in amino acids, offers significant advantages for broadacre cropping. This all-purpose product provides both an organic, slow-release nitrogen source and an immediate inorganic nitrogen boost, ensuring your crops receive a sustained and readily available supply of nutrients. The amino acids in Verigrow play crucial roles in enhancing plant and soil health, promoting stronger and healthier crops. Extensive independent trials have been conducted over several seasons to compare Verigrow Fertiliser and Soil Improver with standard nitrogen treatments in terms of growth, production, and grain quality. These trials have demonstrated that per unit of nitrogen, Verigrow is up to 3.5 times more effective than conventional nitrogen treatments. This increased efficiency translates to a reduced environmental footprint, minimizing the need for high nitrogen inputs and benefiting both the soil and the broader ecosystem. For more detailed information about the benefits of amino acids and Verigrow’s unique formulation, visit our About Verigrow page. Below are the results from independent broadacre trials on Wheat conducted by Trialco in Katanning, Western Australia. Results - The results have demonstrated that Verigrow Fertiliser and Soil Improver 12% N is an excellent choice for broadacre application. We recommend applying 60L per hectare in furrow during seeding. Verigrow Fertiliser and Soil Improver is highly compatible with a variety of adjuvants, insecticides, pesticides, and fungicides, offering significant time and cost savings. Additionally, it can be combined with Verigrow Soil Wetter to enhance water penetration and retention.


  • Horticulture - Verigrow Fertiliser & Soil Improver is an amino acid-rich, all-purpose product derived from waste wool, offering significant benefits for horticulture and soil health. The amino acids in Verigrow enhance soil organic content and serve as a valuable food source for microorganisms. Below is a trial report on Cherry Tomatoes conducted independently by Peracto (now Kalyx) in Welshpool, Western Australia. Verigrow 2017 in Cherry Tomato Trial This trial compared the effects of Verigrow Fertiliser and Soil Improver with Seasol on plant growth and soil health. The results revealed that tomato plants treated with Verigrow Fertiliser and Soil Improver exhibited 2 to 5 times improvement in all measured parameters compared to the control group and those treated with Seasol. The measured parameters included plant height, biomass, NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index), and weights of roots and foliage. This trial was the first controlled study on Verigrow, confirming its effective fertilising properties.


  • Verigrow 2024 in Turf and Soil Improver is an all-purpose, amino acid-rich product suitable for a wide range of applications, including turf. Amino acids play fundamental roles in enhancing turf and soil health, providing a slow-release and long-lasting organic source of nitrogen. Combined with an inorganic nitrogen source, Verigrow offers an immediate nitrogen boost that strengthens and improves the health of your turf. Below is a turf trial report on Couch grass conducted independently by Sports Turf Technology at Betta Turf in Wattleup, Western Australia. Verigrow 2024 in Turf This trial compared various application rates of Verigrow to granular fertiliser on turf condition. The results demonstrated that applying Verigrow at 40 L/ha significantly improved turf condition compared to the control. The total nitrogen content at this Verigrow treatment was 28.8 units of N, compared to 107.6 units of N for the Sir Walter granular fertiliser. Consistent with independent broadacre trial results, a lower level of nitrogen is sufficient to achieve excellent results. Based on these findings, we recommend an application rate of 60 L/ha. Additionally, the trial indicated that in well-irrigated areas, an application rate higher than 10 L/ha of Verigrow Soil Wetter is necessary to see substantial results. We recommend an application rate of 20 L/ha based on these findings.
