Organic Fertilizer
Cycle organic fertilizer is made by converting up to 100,000 tonnes of organic waste each year into organic-based fertilizer.
Ideal for cash crops, turf, landscape and
It provides slow-release nitrogen, phosphorous and potash, with the added benefit of being organic matter based. Our controlled 6-week growth trials indicate significant improvements over black earth, microbial stimulants, potting mix and expensive water soluble 20-20-20 treatments.
Created organically
Our organic fertilizer is produced from food scraps and food processing by-products which are first used to generate electricity – helping to close the nutrient loop from field to fork.

Comments
- Cycle Organic Fertilizer is produced from food scraps and food processing byproducts which are first used to generate electricity – helping to close the nutrient loop from field to fork
- The biogas power plant uses over 80,000 mt of food waste each year to produce enough electricity to supply over 3,000 homes; waste heat from the electricity generation is used to dry the digestate into a granular fertilizer
- Cycle Organic Fertilizer is approved for organic use by the Centre for Systems Integration (CSI)
Available in a variety of bag sizes and bulk truck form
