ENDORSEMENT AND RECOMMENDATION OF EARTHCO LUCERNE CUBES

I have been using your Lucerne cubes since you first started production some 10 years ago. at times, I have had to go to some length to locate a local source!

I am happy to recommend Earth cubes because they are a quality product and have me with consistent results over those 10 years. Quite often, clients request that I use them because they are happy with the results of using Earth cubes.

I use Earth cubes as a mulch for pot plants, hanging baskets and as a general garden mulch. It is particularly useful for regenerating neglected palnts and gardens, even more so in these dry times when applications of granular fertilisers are a waste of time. so whenever it rains, the plants receive both rainfall and slow release nutrients from the cubes.

Another point in favour of the cubes is that they increase worm and micro-biological activity in the soil whereas granular fertilisers do not, in fact the reverse applies.

I have used both Earth cubes and lucerne on a wide range of plants including Australian native and it has produced the same fantastic results - NSW Christmas Bush mulched with cubes produces flossy dark green leaves and a stunning display of red. It is also great for lilli-pillies.

The only palnts that i would not recommend lucerne products for is members of the proteaceae family which includes grevilleas, banksias, waratahs and leucodendrons (amongst others). This is because they are sensitive to even the low levels of phosphates in the cubes.

" No one wants to be a slave to their garden and that's what I became before discovering Earthco Lucerne Mulches. I tried using hay, straw, woodchips and even lawn clippings but all this created more work by adding to weed growth. Earthco mulches give you a maintenance free garden that retains water and it actually fertilisers the soil too. I can totally recommend their products for all round yearly use in your garden"
