Issue 6 - Summer 2008
NutriSoil Open Day
Farming in the New Era
was another great success.
There were over 200
farmers attending and a
range of inspiring speakers
including Dr Maarten
Stapper (back by popular
demand) and farmers from
Victoria and WA giving
practical examples and
ideas about innovative
farming in a challenging
new era.
Top 5 Key Changes for Farm Survival
For those who missed the day, a thorough report has been
compiled based on the views of 77 of the attendees who
participated in a follow-up survey asking their key onfarm changes they have made or plan to make. Copies are
available on request. Based on their responses 5 key areas
emerged:
1. Change fertiliser/chemical application
2. Focus on Soil Health
3. Trial/Learn more/Analyse
4. Grazing Management
5. Aeration
On the Fence
Wouldn’t your property look smarter with a NutriSoil
Fence Sign! They are usually fitted to all 1000L tanks or

Nutrisoil DVD Release
The long-awaited DVD is now
available free on request. Limit
one per household. Meet
the team on this 42minute
exploration into the production
of NutriSoil.

Dr Maarten Stapper
draws together
practical explanations
with scientific backing,

Issue 6 - Summer 2008
2009 Production
Capacity Tripled!
Graham has spent over 6-months developing the stable
new ecosystems necessary to produce high-grade
NutriSoil and all results are looking good! Three new
80m worm windrows have come on line….that’s a lot of
worms to manage!
A Horizontal Mixer & tractor upgrade were necessary
to replace the Triolet Mixer for combining raw materials
and feeds for worms for the higher through-put now
necessary.
On-Farm Information
Sessions
We look forward to coming to YOUR property in 2009
for a NutriSoil Information Session with 5 or more fellow
farmers. We appreciate the effort involved in organizing
the day by supplying you with a FREE 25L NutriSoil
drum worth $166inc. PLUS all you need to know about
the benefits of using NutriSoil to improve your soil health
and increase quality production! Book while there’s still
space in the calendar.
