We love Fish IT. You will too:

  • Healthier soils grow stronger, more resilient plants that are laden with high quality nutrients. Fish IT helps to free up nutrients in the soil allowing it to be used by plants to grow. The result – dense nutrient rich pasture and produce.
  • Because Fish IT helps to create a balanced soil biome, microbes, fungi and bacteria can access a supply of nutrients already present in the soil organic matter. This means plants get access to the nutrients they need precisely when they need them, in a form they can use efficiently. As a result plants are often healthier, stronger and ward off pests and disease with reduced requirement for pesticides and herbicides.
  • Healthy soil is full of microbes, fungi, bacteria and of course worms. Fish IT helps all these organisms thrive meaning your plants you rely on for production also thrive.
