FUTURE SOIL for Horticulture and Nurseries

horticulture nursery growing media and root-zone management

Containers, beds and protected cropping demand precise movement of water, air and nutrients. FUTURE SOIL lets growers engineer new media, recover tired profiles and keep production systems performing.

Choose the right FUTURE SOIL product

  • Sodic, dispersive or reactive clay: CLAY FIXER.
  • Compacted, low-infiltration or hydrophobic non-sodic soil: POWER BREAKER.
  • Sand, gravel, pebbles, perlite and freely draining profiles: HYDRO LEVEL.
  • Feeding, wetting, carbon, biostimulation and total root-zone upgrading: LIQUID BIOCHAR.
  • New mixes, renovation and permanent carbon building: BIOCARBON, FUTURE SOIL’s premium nutrient-integrated biochar.

Choose the right range

Retail 1 L and 5 L suits small growers and home-scale systems, generally at 5–7 mL/m². PRO SERIES 10 L and 20 L concentrates suit commercial nurseries and horticulture, generally at 1–2 mL/m².

Installation and renovation

Use HYDRO LEVEL through perlite, gravel, sand and freely draining media to level water and nutrient movement. Use POWER BREAKER for non-sodic hydrophobic or compacted media, CLAY FIXER only where sodic or dispersive clay is present, BIOCARBON in new blends and LIQUID BIOCHAR at planting.

Recovery, maintenance and upgrading

Use LIQUID BIOCHAR through suitable irrigation, drench or spray programs to feed, wet, add carbon and biostimulate the root zone. Reassess as media ages, irrigation chemistry changes, crops are removed or containers are reused.

FUTURE SOIL’s soil-active technologies associate with the treated profile for targeted, low-migration performance across acidic and alkaline conditions. Reapplication is driven by soil behaviour, cropping, disturbance, profile movement, returning compaction or declining performance—not a disposable calendar.

Practical program

  1. Identify the physical and chemical behaviour of each media recipe.
  2. Choose product and range by crop, scale and equipment.
  3. Trial on a defined production block.
  4. Apply uniformly to the intended media volume.
  5. Measure drainage, moisture distribution, root fill and crop response.
  6. Scale the verified program and monitor each crop cycle.

Measure the area, calibrate equipment, distribute evenly and use enough carrier water to move treatment into the intended root zone without runoff. Always follow the label for the exact product and range.
