Step 1
Soil Therapy™ Reportand Life Force ® Prescription Blend

Once a year, undertake soil testing using the NTS Soil Therapy™ Service to determine soil nutrient requirements.

Broadcast your specifically designed LifeForce® Prescription Blend either prior to planting a cover crop or just prior to bedding up.

Balancing the minerals in your soil will help to improve soil structure and increase general fertility. See your distributor for details.
Step 2
Planting Blend (if applicable)

This planting blend can be applied prior to bed formation if plastic is to be laid. If this step is not usually part of the operation, extra N-P-K can be built into the LifeForce®Prescription Blend.
