Here are the key differences between Rooster Booster and Dynamic Lifter: NPK Ratio – Rooster Booster has more phosphorous and potassium but less nitrogen. This makes it more suited to flowering plants and less suited to natives that are sensitive to phosphorous.
If vigorous leaf growth is your aim, then Blood and Bone is the best choice. But keep in mind that high Nitrogen levels can cause burning of foliage. However, if you're looking for a more balanced formula or fertiliser for fruiting and flowering plants, then Dynamic Lifter is probably your best option.
Dynamic Lifter is an organic, poultry manure-based product. Chicken manure just so happens to be a common fertiliser used on turf farms. Your standard Dynamic Lifter products are 100% chicken manure in an aged and pelletised form.
Yates Dynamic Lifter Plus Blood & Bone
3 ) is an organic fertiliser comprising composted poultry manure and blood & bone. Ensure you read the label directions and precaution advice when using this product around pets, particularly dogs, as it may be harmful if consumed.
Apply Seasol regularly for several months before any fertilising is done. Once the tree is starting to respond to the Seasol treatment, apply an organic fertiliser such as Dynamic Lifter, blood and bone or slow-release tree tablets.
We would suggest that you don't fertilise your newly laid lawn until it is three months old. After that period of time you can then use the Dynamic Lifter on your lawn without the fear of it causing any burning.
Ideally, the best manure for gardens is probably chicken, since it has a very high content of nitrogen, a need all plants have, but it must be composted well and aged to prevent burning plants. Chicken manure is a rich source of nutrients and is best applied in fall or spring after it has had a chance to compost.
While blood, fish and bone is considered a good fertiliser as a natural source of all three major nutrients, its main components are by-products of the slaughter industry and leftovers from fish processing plants. Its use, therefore, might cause concern for vegetarians and vegans looking to avoid animal-based products.
Yates Potting Mix with Dynamic Lifter is an all-purpose organic-based potting mix suitable for most indoor and outdoor potted plants including ornamentals, fruiting plants, vegetables, flowers and shrubs.
Well, just like exotics, natives respond well to feeding too and for most, you can just use an all-purpose fertiliser like blood and bone or dynamic lifter.
Do not apply Seasol and PowerFeed during the heat of the day. As PowerFeed is a fertiliser it may burn the foliage of the plant or lawn. If fungal problems are an issue, it is best to apply Seasol and PowerFeed in the morning to avoid moisture residue on the foliage overnight.
Available from most garden centres and hardware stores, Dynamic Lifter pellets help improve soil structure and moisture retention for better root growth, stronger plants and more plentiful flowers and fruit.
You can apply Dynamic Lifter Organic Plant Food every 6 - 8 weeks.
Yates Dynamic Lifter Lawn Food contains composted chicken manure, blood & bone, fish meal and seaweed, for a lush and healthy lawn. It provides long lasting nutrients for sustained healthy lawn, and encourages earthworms and beneficial soil micro-organisms to promote healthy soil.
Can you overuse blood and bone? Like all fertilisers, you should only apply blood and bone at the recommended rates. If you add too much, the excess may eventually leach out of your garden soil and end up in local waterways which is not good for the natural environment.
yes blood and bone doesn't naturally contain potassium so you can add sulfate of potash 1 part in 10, or you can look for Yates Professional Blood and Bone (Plus Potash) with added potash. It is ok to use on natives.
An organic based fertiliser suitable for all garden plants, although we recommend limiting use on native plants. Provides nitrogen for healthy leaf growth and phosphorus for strong root development.
The worst affected plants are potatoes, tomatoes, peas, beans, carrots and some salad crops.
Poultry manure contains the greatest amount of nutrients, while horse manure has much less nutrients (Table 1).
Wait at least 120 days after applying raw or aged manure to harvest crops that grow in or near the soil (root crops, leafy greens, strawberries). Wait at least 90 days for other crops.
Improve clay soils
To do this, dig in Yates Dynamic Lifter, gypsum and compost and fork in well. Cover with a layer of organic mulch, like sugarcane or pea straw and water thoroughly. Continue to water over the next couple of weeks to help the all the organic matter break down.
Thank you for contacting Yates. The product can be broadcasted over garden beds, however, mixing into topsoil can maximise the soil improvement ability and minimise the odour. Hope this helps and happy gardening!
As a general guide, pellets should last for around 6 to 8 weeks and the liquid form should be reapplied every two weeks.
