Testimonials in Townsville

I am sustainable gardening educator and gardening consultant. My approach to gardening is to use fewer products, therefore I was hesitant to try a new product. Garden Mate proved to be a wonderful discovery for me. This one product is safe and highly effective in EVERY garden situation and in ALL soil types. Even better it replaces so many other products. I can now help clients to create amazing, supercharged gardens which are organic and supporting strong and natural plant growth with just one product.

With 60 different minerals and 30 different soil microbes, you can be absolutely sure that whatever you are growing, Garden Mate will help it to grow stronger, bigger, more flowers and have better flavour. Stronger plants also means less need for pest and disease control. The outcome is a fabulous garden without the need for so many other products. Whatever the problem, apply Garden Mate.

I have grown roses for nearly four decades. In my present garden, “Montview” in Killarney, Queensland, there are 470 roses – Old Garden Roses, Heritage Roses and Modern Roses. For the first time last winter, I applied an average of 500gms of Garden Mate with cow or horse manure to all roses. A second application of Garden Mate was applied after the spring flowering. The result has been remarkable. 

Despite a long hot dry summer and a big wet at the end of March, the vigorous growth and healthy, dark green glossy foliage of the rose bushes, shrubs and climbers were the best I have ever grown, whilst the size, colour and fragrance of the spring and autumn blooms were magnificent. But best of all, there has been no need to use fungicides over the past six months. There were some outbreaks of black spot and powdery mil due in the autumn, but absolutely nothing like what I have experienced in the past. I also observed that the yellowing of new growth on some roses were corrected. I believe that Garden Mate was the key to such a marked improvement in the vigour and health of the roses.  Earthlife is absolutely correct in saying  Healthier soil, Healthier Plants

I had a large tree removed from the front garden and as the soil is very clayey, the nurseries suggested to use compost. I did this with limited success and was sure the soil needed something more. I rang DPI and they suggested I ring a garden supply firm. I contacted Steve Jones Home Hardware & Garden Supplies and he suggested to use Garden Mate. I bought the product and gave the garden its first dose of Garden Mate and turned the lumpy, clayey soil over. A fortnight later, I turned the soil and found that indeed, it was a lot softer (less lumps). With spring not far away I repeated the application of Garden Mate. Two weeks later when I turned the soil again there were no lumps at all, and it was quite loamy. My wife planted the garden and all the plants have flourished. The soil is still as loamy as you could wish for. Garden Mate has certainly lived up to its name. Good luck and may Garden Mate make other frustrated gardeners with problem soil, happy.

Jul-1999 Earthlife’s soil enhancement system has greatly improved the structure of my heavy, hard, black soil blocks resulting in them being easier to work and being far more friable when wet. The other notable fact is the improved infiltration rate when irrigating. Jul-2000 Earthlife products have changed my worst producing cotton block into the highest yielding block this year. Feb-2002 I’m amazed, 13 t/ha of sorghum (5.26 t/ac) during one of the hottest summers. 
Nick Adamson, Ellerby, Leyburn 

Your sorghum crop recommendation has resulted in a short fallow achieving the same yield as the long fallow. (In our opinion, far better use of stored soil moisture). Since double cropping into barley we have been surprised by the softness of the soil and the fact that there were no wheel tracks in the emerging crop. 
Woongabeena, Dalby 

Our trees have performed since taking on board your Earthlife soil program. The compounding effect has been in soil moisture retention, hence the appearance of worms in the soil and the trees outgrowing the toxicity problem that existed. Most noticeable this fruit picking season, has been the uniformity in size of the fruit and the flavour. We would wholeheartedly recommend your product to anyone wishing to improve their farming technique.

I have been using Garden Mate for just over 8 months. I have been waiting years for a product like this, so easy to use. 
Judy Young, Paddington 

I have a big tree in the back yard that shades a large area. It has always been an eyesore till now as the grass had never grown under this tree. What a difference Garden Mate has made from dirt to lawn in one season. Even the Camilla’s are loving it. 
J Richards, Camp Hill 

Lawn blend is one of the best lawn fertilisers I’ve ever seen. 
Evan, Torrington Landscapes 

Garden Delight and sandy soils are a perfect match. I have flowering peach trees that have been very ‘sad’ looking and generally lack of health and vigour due to the sandy soils they are growing in. After only 2 applications of Garden Delight these trees have improved to have the best flowering season and have coped with the heat of summer. Overall the general appearance of these trees has improved in a very short period of time. I applied 4 generous handfuls per tree and am repeating this application rate every 8 weeks. I am noticing that I do not need to water as much as the soil is retaining the moisture better. I would recommend this product to anyone with sandy soils!

After hiring an aerator recently, the Ipswich Council used Earthlife garden products and they were surprised how the soil, gardens and lawns responded so well. They came back and said they want to do more. They have flowers flowering earlier. Even during the cold days they have had, not a day over 18 degrees and even the camellias are flowering

Earthlife Minerals has made such a difference in my small crops, that I would spread it fence to fence, if I had the money.
