Organically, chemically bonded to soil and Insoluble in water – does not leach and replenishes soils
100% organic matter; all micronutrients available which are released back into soils for crops
Releases micronutrients slowly affording longer durations for plant feeding as & when required
No toxicity or pH proliferation in soils
Balanced nutrients for plants – increased yields
Cheaper to produce from local natural raw material
Synthetic/fossil based and soluble in water – leaches into water courses; depletes nutrients in soils
78% of matter is filler not useful to plants. 60% of useful nutrients leach out of the soil
Lack micronutrients – special additives required to add micronutrients, which dissolve in the soil
Chemical spraying required to prevent plant
Don’t sustain soil health – do nothing to replenish soil nutrients
Long term use changes soil pH; requires chemicals for correct pH balance
High cost; requires importation of raw materials, and use of high energy in the manufacturing process
