Seacliff Organics
SEACLIFF ORGANICS
Seacliff Organics takes soil back to the fundamentals, rich humus and balanced minerals thriving with microbiological activity with a focus on waste reduction and sustainable local sourcing, where healthy soil is the foundation for our gardens and crops. This is soil that tends to itself, providing ongoing performance with minimum input.
Modern methods of horticulture rely on persistent fertilisation which can adversely affect the microorganisms living within the soil. Seacliff is unique in its approach to living soil, creating a dynamic and biologically active organic soil using locally sourced materials to deliver the optimum nutrition to your plants.
LIVING SOIL V2
This soil is intended for fragrant and flavoursome crops, and is full of all the essential nutrients to promote active macrofauna and microfauna.
Seacliff Living Soil is full of NZ sourced natural ingredients that, with the help of a thriving food web, will break down over time giving a steady slow release of the essential nutrients to the plant.
It is ideal for water-only cultivation, no till, soil recycling/high-end organic cultivation.
Seacliff soil is high in nutrients but balanced appropriately and perfectly for flowering plants and full term growth. Living soil helps your plants express their full phenotypical potential by providing everything your plant needs in balanced ratios and a rich ecology of micro-organisms to ensure everything is available for uptake when it is required by your plant.
Seacliff Living Soil is designed to be recycled.
Base: Sphagnum peat moss, pumice, oat hulls, worm castings, charged bio-char plus amendments for pest control, microbiology and bio-stimulants.
Use 100 litre pots as a minimum for "no till" or "water only", Soil can be recycled over and over with additional amendments and compost. We recommend using the biggest pot size you can fit in your space. Multi plant beds work really well and allow the fungi networks to communicate between plants, improving health and yields.

Cook for 4 weeks, turn on the second day, and once a week after that.
To Re-amend Seacliff Organics Living Soil:
Use 30-60 grams of our re-amendment product to every 5 litres of soil, ¾ cup worm castings or compost, and ¾ cup of pumice or oat husks per 5 litres.
Mix these ingredients with your soil as best you can, either through the entire mix, or till through the first 50 percent.
Top Dressing:
Scuff a handful of nutrients into the first few centimetres of soil.
