Oceana
Liquid Nourishment
Oceana is an organic mix of beneficial nutrition for your garden. Think of it like a probiotic, prebiotic, immune booster and healthy salad all in one.
How?
- To easily and accurately measure out Oceana, take the lid off the small chamber and then squeeze the big chamber gently to send Oceana up the spout. The small chamber has 5 mL measurement increments which make for a super easy and mess-free portioning experience.
- Measure 25 mL of Oceana and pour into 9L of water. If you pour it straight into a watering can, it saves having to add in an extra mixing step, just give the watering can a shake to mix and you're good to go.
- Apply weekly to veggies and flowers for best results, and then fortnightly to herbs, shrubs and trees.
- A diluted mix of 25 mL of Oceana mixed into a 9L watering can will spread over 9 square meters. You can do a smaller area for extra nutrition.
- Apply diluted mixture to seedlings before transplanting to reduce transplant shock and give them a better chance of success.
- Apply diluted mixture (in a small amount) to seeds after planting and upon sprouting.
Why?
- Healthier growth with a balanced combination of nutrition
- Tastier produce due to increased brix levels and a healthier plant
- Better plant resilience with added microbes and ingredients that support cell strength
- Better uptake of nutrients via beneficial relationships made between microbes and the plants
- Stress reduction and reduce transplant shock with hormones from the seaweed
- Boost resistance to pests and diseases, healthier plants means stronger and more resistant plants
- Nourish the soil and your plants with ocean minerals
- Better drought tolerance with deeper root growth from the balanced and healthy nutrient profile

Fish
We use a high analysis liquid fish fertiliser, bringing the magic of the ocean to your garden. This adds a wide variety of macro and micro elements from the ocean to your garden. Beneficial fungi absolutely love fish as it is made up of a complex structure that fungi love feed off. Liquid fish is a great addition to your garden.
Kelp
From the cold North Atlantic, our Ascophyllum Nodosum provides amazing hormones for your plants and is a diverse nutrient source for your garden. Kelp has been shown to reduce transplant shock, boost plant immunity, boost fungal activity in your soil and much more. It's pretty clear why we included this in Oceana!
Molasses
Molasses is a great food for beneficial bacteria, giving those critters the chance to multiply in our garden and thrive. Molasses is also a natural chelating agent, meaning it allows nutrients to "trojan horse" through your plant cell walls, increasing natural uptake of nutrients. Kinda handy.
Humates and Fulvates
These suckers were added for food for your beneficial microbes, as chelating agents to "trojan horse" nutrients into your plant cells, and as long term nutrient stores in your gardens soil. These are acids which predominantly come from compost and provide houses for beneficial microbes in your soil, water storage in the soil, and water retention in your plants.
Beneficial Microbes
Our microbes include a mix of beneficial anaerobic microbes, mycorrhizal fungi, tricoderma and other beneficial bacteria. These are all well fed by the other ingredients above, and provide essential protection and goodness for your plants.
