Looking at how nature grows best key changes arise that can benefit growing significantly...
Generally in nature, when strong concentrations of chemicals exist, the environment becomes toxic to life diversity and natural systems.
The most healthiest environments in nature are rich in diversity of life, working as a healthy and complete, balanced system.
Soils are rarely disturbed and turned. Animals may disturb it on a small scale or occasionally a tree falls and lifts its roots.
Soil is rarely exposed to the weather and is generally always covered by plant growth. When it is uncovered plants quickly work to recover it.
Organic matter falls from the plant to the ground, where it breaks down and in time enters the soil, protecting and nourishing it.
Do your best to avoid chemicals, GROWERS GOLD will replace the need for synthetic fertilisers and reduce growing issues as your soil health improves.
Reduce digging of soil as much as possible to improve soil quality...GROWERS GOLD naturally softens soil without digging.
Add organic matter to your soil surface to protect and nourish it. Organic matter is an important key to rebuilding your soil's performance. Increasing your soil organic matter 1% over one hectare adds well over 100,000 pesos in nutrient value and 60,000 litres of water storage capacity.
Consider growing cover crops between cash crop cycles or in gaps between rows or trees. You can then cut the cover crop and put it on the root area of what your cash crops. This serves to boost nourishment and build up soil quality. Soils with increased organic matter are the healthiest and best performing of all!
Synthetic Chemicals, Heavy Digging, Little Organic Matter Mono-crops, Kill to Control (Weeds, Insects, Fungi etc)

GROWERS GOLD, Less Tillage, Build Organic Matter, Diversity, Encourage Natural Productive Eco-systems
Every grower can improve their soil moisture. There is no need for big dams etc. Look at how nature does it...Soil Organic Matter (S.O.M.) is the key. Build your soil's organic matter and this increases your soil's moisture holding capacity significantly. Soil should always be covered with organic matter residue. You can do this by growing cover crops which also enrich your soil. Organic matter also feeds your soil, helps soil life perform many important roles which serve your plants and conserves moisture. Also, avoid digging your soil as much as possible as this damages soil structure and cause S.O.M. loss. Soil structure allows water to soak in easily while S.O.M. increases moisture storage within your soil.
Fertility can be significantly increased by organic matter and the increased soil life activity which works this through your soil.
