Young Bowling Club- Damien Miller
"Hi Lloyd, Thanks for the chat today, I reckon we`re on a winner and thanks for the advice".
Looks like the planned changes will be a good thing. I`m really happy the way things have been explained through the soil reports. That is probably something that has lacked in the past few years. I`m looking forward to working with Soilsmart and fixing this problems we have.

Rosehill Bowling Club- Chris Giugni
With only having limited hours most weeks to spend on the bowling greens due to race track commitments, having a healthy plant is priority for me. 90% of my inputs are Soilsmart products, which gives me peace of mind. I am not being exposed to chemicals as much, I am also involved in helping the environment and the turf is healthy which is needed to get through the environmental stresses when I am not around. Our biggest hurdle to turf health at the bowling club is Ground Pearl, which we have been able to control by using Biological controls, improving soil health and the use of root feeding insect deterrents.

We were on the fertiliser/fungicide merry-go-round, it was not working. I knew there had to be something better. Luckily I networked with another greenkeeper at a golf day, and Tonic was ordered the next day. It immediately unlocked the soil and the greens never looked better or back. Feeding the soil not the plant continues to improve the profile. Coupled with SAP tests I can tweak inputs keeping the greens lean and mean. We are able to apply products in any weather and know the greens are protected from disease. While moving away from so much time consuming and unpopular mechanical aeration. The Soil and Plant Tonic has been used on all areas of the course, benefitting members and staff with course quality and safety. It has simplified the monthly program and freed up budgets for other needed course improvements. Looking at worldwide green keeping developments I’m pleased I’ve got Soilsmart in my back yard.

" I have been greenkeeping for many years now and I have never come across a liquid fertiliser like Maintain Foliar. There has been no spike in growth but within 2 days after application the greens looked amazing. I have started using on Tee`s also and now looking at using on our sports field" March 2021
Antill Park Golf Club Andrew Steele
Antill Park golf club has been working with Soilsmart over the past 2 years and have achieved great results with the soil and plant tonic program.
Over time we have reduced fertiliser and pesticide inputs and records show a 50% reduction in fungicide applications.
Situated on the outskirts of South Western Sydney, Antill Park experiences harsh summers with minimal irrigation and poor quality water. Since implementing the soil and plant tonic into our greens maintenence program we have noticed improved water holding from our soil, a healthier root system and a stress tolerant putting surface.
With minimal staff and budget, improving the soil structure and biology of our greens has been an economical and rewarding decision.
Also the Soilsmart guys are bloody good blokes too !!
