Austrablend SuperSorb Work?

SuperSorb has been designed to address the low water holding capacity of sands as well as providing a balanced blend of nutrients for plant growth.

Clays are negatively charged particles whilst fertilisers (NPK) are positively charged.  When SuperSorb is mixed with sand the clay particles attract and bind the fertilisers which would otherwise be leached below the sand substrate and lost from the root zone. These fertilisers are then able to be used by the plants for growth.

Clay particles also attract and hold water molecules which would otherwise percolate down through the sand. The water and fertilisers held by clay particles are held under low tension enabling plant roots to easily access them.

The high grade compost in SuperSorb breaks down over a number of years releasing good quantities of nutrients into the soil which are utilised by the plants. The clays remain in the soil and continue to work to the advantage of all plant material.

The use of SuperSorb will result in up to 50% less water and fertilisers being applied to the soil, thus providing substantial cost savings.
