Why Soil Performance Matters More Than Ever: Food Security, Rising Costs, and Self-Sufficiency
Rising fertiliser and fuel costs are increasing food prices and putting pressure on food production systems. Discover how attapulgite clay and diatomaceous earth can improve soil efficiency, support backyard growing, and help build greater food security and self-sufficiency.
Because Supply security matters! Replace Imported Minerals with Western Australian Attapulgite Clay and Diatomaceous Earth for Moisture, Odour, and Gas Control
Western Australian attapulgite clay and diatomaceous earth provide natural, high-purity alternatives to imported adsorptive minerals. These minerals improve moisture retention, odor and gas control, and soil health, supporting sustainable farming, pet care, and industrial applications.
Your fertiliser is running out. Australia has an answer- attapulgite clay & diatomaecous earth
The Iran war has closed the Strait of Hormuz and cut one third of global fertiliser supply. Australian urea stocks are projected to run out mid-April 2026. This structured summary covers the 10 key things Australian farmers need to know right now — including how AgriFix 102 and AgriFix 103 attapulgite clay and Western Australian diatomaceous earth can substitute scarce inputs, improve nitrogen-use efficiency, protect stored grain, and be applied through standard seeder equipment this week.
Optimising Fertiliser Application with Diatomaceous Earth (Diatomite / DE) and Attapulgite Clay in Australia
Diatomaceous earth (diatomite / DE) and attapulgite clay raw ore provide natural, mineral-based solutions to optimise fertiliser applications in Australian agriculture, horticulture, turf, and gardens. These minerals improve nutrient retention, moisture availability, and soil structure, reduce fertiliser leaching, and support crop and turf resilience under hot, dry conditions. Learn how to use them separately or blended, with practical guidance for application rates, soil types, and combined fertiliser strategies.
Attapulgite Clay vs Diatomaceous Earth (DE) for Soil Amendment in Australia: What Works Best in Hot, Dry Conditions?
Diatomaceous earth and attapulgite clay are natural mineral amendments that improve Australian soils by enhancing moisture retention, nutrient availability, and soil structure. This guide explains how to use them separately or blended, with practical application tips for gardens, horticulture, turf management, and poultry odour control. Learn which format—10 L tubs, bulk minerals, or blended ChickenKoop Refresh—is best for your soil and climate conditions.
The Use of Diatomaceous Earth as a Natural Alternative to Chemical Pesticides in Agriculture and Horticulture
Diatomaceous earth (DE) is a natural, non-toxic alternative to chemical pesticides in agriculture and horticulture. It controls insects through a physical mechanism, reducing reliance on synthetic chemicals while remaining safe for humans, animals, and the environment. Effective on a wide range of pests, DE can be applied to crops, gardens, stored produce, and poultry bedding. Using DE supports sustainable pest management, decreases chemical exposure, and integrates easily into organic and low-chemical farming systems.
