Question
How do I determine what AgGrand Organic
Fertilizers I should use, and how much of each should I use.
Answer
The best and most effective way to determine
what AgGrand Organic Fertilizers should be used and how much of them
you should use in a particular application, is to perform a soil analysis.
To perform a soil analysis is very simple you can contact your local
county extension office and get a soil analysis kit and then take the
kit back to your local county extension office and they will do the
soil analysis for you and send the results to you by mail, there may
or may not be a charge for this service as some extension offices do
soil analysis for free. Alternatively you may contact us for a soil
analysis kit we would send you a kit free of charge, you follow the
simple instructions on how to get soil samples and send the kit and
a check or Money Order for $12.70 to Midwest Labs in Omaha Nebraska
and they will send a copy of the analysis to you and one to AgGrand,
AgGrand will review the analysis and send you a copy of the AgGrand
Fertility Guide showing you which AgGrand fertilizer products to use,
and how much of each.

Question
Why is AgGrand better than other fertilizers?
Answer
AgGrand is the most highly formulated
line of natural liquid fertilizer products on the market today.
Question
AgGrand Natural Fertilizers have a lower
NPK grade than chemical fertilizers do. Does this mean that they
are less effective than the chemical fertilizers?
Answer
Not at all! In fact testing has
demonstrated that AgGrand products are more effective than chemical
fertilizers, because they stimulate the soil microbial activity, helping
to process the nutrients, making them more available to plants.
Only 7-8% of most chemical fertilizers is utilized by the plant while
the rest becomes run-off that can contaminate surface and groundwater.
Question
Why should I stop using my usual brand
of fertilizer and start using AgGrand?
Answer
AgGrand has a complete line of natural
liquid fertilizers. Our tests have shown that AgGrand out performs
chemical fertilizers, while providing all your plants nutritional needs.
AgGrand is ideal for all vegetables, fruits, flowers, crops, lawns,
trees, shrubs, and houseplants without causing any environmental harm.
Question
What Can I do for weed control?
Answer
You can 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.
Question
What are the six reasons that make AgGrand
better and why should I use it?
Answer
-
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.
Question
What are three
things to keep in mind when using AgGrand
Answer
-
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.
-
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.
