APPLICATION & USAGE

Usage & Application

Palagonite is a versatile, natural product that can be applied across a wide range of farming systems, gardens, and even in animal nutrition. Here's how to get the best results:

Broadacre & Row Cropping

Apply 2–6 tonnes per hectare (T/Ha)

  • Incorporate Palagonite into and just below the root zone

  • Promotes deeper root growth and better nutrient uptake

  • Reduce chemical fertiliser rates

  • Apply fertilisers above the Palagonite layer to minimise nutrient leaching

Domestic Gardens

Apply 2kg per square metre (kg/m²)

  • Mix into garden beds up to 250mm deep

  • Reduce chemical fertiliser use

  • Adjust compost and organic inputs as needed

Pasture & Turf

Small scale: Top dress at 3kg/m²
Large scale: Apply 2–6T/Ha depending on results required and budget

  • Improves soil health and boosts pasture nutrition

Composting

Palagonite enhances composting by improving microbial activity and nutrient balance.

  • Application rate: Use 20–50% Palagonite in compost mix, depending on waste type

  • Ideal for composting wet manures, paunch, hoof/horn waste, sawdust, dry manures & more

  • Reduces odours, speeds decomposition, and boosts nutrient retention

  • Creates a well-balanced, microbe-rich compost with all 22 essential nutrients

Tip: Compost with Palagonite results in a more nutrient-dense, stable product that holds together better and resists nutrient loss in heavy rain.

Animal Nutrition

  • Add Palagonite at 2% of the daily feed ration to help correct mineral deficiencies and improve animal condition

  • Top dress pastures at 6T/Ha to enhance the nutritional quality of forage over time
