Six Reasons AGGRAND is Better
- AGGRAND is one of the most (if not THE most) highly formulated fish-kelp products
in the industry. It is elementally and ionically balanced to maximize soil microbial
response, earth worm response, and foliar and root application responses. It contains:
- Atlantic Hydrolyzed Fish Extract
- North Atlantic Kelp Extract
- Natural Sulfate of Potash
- Bloodmeal
- Molasses
- Proprietary Synergistic Compounds
- Humus Extract
- Vitamins
- Filtered Through #100 Mesh
- AGGRAND stimulates soil microbial activity and brings earthworms into the soil.
Earthworms can supply 700 pounds of castings in one acre in one day.
Free microbes can supply 100 pounds of nitrogen in one acre over the growing season.
All plant needs can be met when used in conjunction with other sustainable practices such as cover cropping, crop rotation, minimum tillage, on-farm inputs such as compost and manure, and reduction of chemical inputs.
- AGGRAND is a multi-purpose fertilizer. Spectacular results can be seen on
lawns, shrubs, trees, flowers, vegetables, fruits, etc. Use AGGRAND anywhere you
would like to see a more lush, vibrant plant or larger, more flavorful fruits and
vegetables.
- AGGRAND offers a full fertility service. The biology follows the chemistry.
The first practice to put into place is soil testing. Order a soil test kit by
calling the catalog ordering line and a copy of the results can be sent to AGGRAND
scientists who provide a completely organic fertility plan including both AGGRAND
products and other organic products. This organic fertility plan costs under $15
per sample.
- Growers can realize the benefits of AGGRAND such as increased tolerance to
heat, drought, cold, and reduced susceptibility to insect and disease attack
without changing their present system (although long term results will be better with reduced chemical use). Just apply it as a foliar feed at 1-2 gallons per acre or 2-3 ounces per gallon 10 days after emergence, first flower, and/or during fruit fill (use the higher rate for heavy feeders and high value crops such as corn, tomatoes, potatoes, and melons). AGGRAND added at 1-2 gallons per acre to the spray tank will increase pesticide effectiveness, reduce pesticide application necessity by 1/3 to ½, and relieve the impact of stress inducing impacts as listed above.
- AGGRAND products can be combined to give optimum results according to plant
needs and soil fertility levels.
Things to Keep In Mind:
- I am more than happy to discuss your individual needs and work in conjunction
with the organic scientists at AGGRAND to put together a program that will work
for you. It may take time, but you can break the chemical cycle and still have
the kind of lawn, garden, crops that you want while protecting the environment
that helps to make all of it possible.
- On toxified soils it takes time to bring life back into the soil. AGGRAND
must be used in conjunction with other sustainable practices for 3 to 5 years to
get optimum results. On less toxified soils results are much more immediately seen.
- When converting a lawn, garden, or field, weed pressure will get worse before
it gets better. Weeds are adventitious (they move into compacted, unbalanced,
toxified soils). But herbicide and insecticide use must be reduced or eliminated
to get optimum results from AGGRAND and other organic inputs. Eventually the more
evolved crop plants will out-compete weeds when the soil chemistry and biology
are optimized.
In the meantime, it may be helpful to use corn gluten meal as an organic weed
preventative. Corn gluten meal has been shown to halt weed germination, but it
must be applied before weed seeds take root. Applications should be done in the
spring in most northern states. Remember that corn gluten meal will stop the
germination of any grass seed as well, so do not use it if you are reseeding a lawn.
You can't beat these products, but you won't know that until you try them.
