Soil Biology
Is the glue that holds the soil together.
It underpins nutrient cycling, maintains soil structure and supports the soils capacity to retain moisture.
Natural defense
Pests and disease in the soil and affecting the plant are out competed by a diverse ecosystem of soil biology.
Soil Structure
Improves drainage and prevents excessive drying out. Protects soil from pugging, maintaining soil structure.
Resilience
After environmental stresses plants revive faster and come back stronger when Vitalife has been applied.
Nutrient Plans
Our team provide comprehensive nutrient plans including nutrients, trace elements and soil biology. Based from actual readings from a current soil test.
Our blends are tailored to your soil requirements, based on the output required from each crop.

On Farm Testing
Frequently Asked Questions
Are you against using all synthetic fertilisers?
No. We simply believe these products can be easily over used.
Applied in moderation in a considered blend of fertiliser, synthetic fertilisers can be useful.
I already have a soil test, do you need to do another one to tailor a nutrient plan for us?
We can use an existing current soil test to tailor a nutrient plan for you. Our preference is to work from a comprehensive soil test that measures all elements of the soil.
Our Founder
Noticing the soil felt and smelt lifeless, when no one else was interested in finding a solution, John pursued one himself.
John grew up on a dairy farm in Kaikoura as a kid he noticed the harsh nature of synthetic fertilisers and the volume of which these were applied.
After working in the fertiliser industry for many years, he sought to find a different way, that could practically be applied by any farmer.
