Natra Min

Post by senseijames »

Hey there, I am only new to this site so please bear with me if I don't do things in the normal way, I live in S E Qld Near Gympie and there is a company here who manufactures a product called " Natra Min" it is a bio-activated Mineral Fertiliser Soil Conditioner, my question is " has anybody used Natra Min in their potting mix" ?? and if so " was there any noticeable changes in growth pattern with their Bonsai"

Never heard of it sorry
Only use organic Ferts in my Non Organic Growing medium


...Just realised the irony in that statement :-) I strive to get Soils that have no organics in them, then strive to fertilise only with Organics LOL :lol:

Looks like you have you own little experiment to run!! :D
Let us know if you give it a go.

I think i remember natra-min from organic vege growing books. It is a crushed rock i think for adding minerals to the soil. It is a very slow release thing and great for the soil but i wonder if it would be of much benefit to bonsai with the regularity of our repotting. Perhaps faster release stuff would make a more noticeable difference, trace elements etc.
