Background:

The author was asked to evaluate the performance of the 4 Seasons Organics Liquid Fertilizer product as an alternative to the recognized brands of chemical fertilizers. The brief was to conduct trials relevant to the domestic horticultural market and report on those trials.

The Trials:

A series of trials were conducted. Turf trials were conducted with a professional turf farmer and a golf course superintendent to evaluate the impact of this product on lawns. Flower trials were performed with a horticulturalist who nominated roses as the preferred plant species.

Outcomes:

All of the trials produced similar results. Application of the 4 Seasons Organics product enhanced root development in plants, which in turn resulted in healthier plants displaying visual benefits. Also "shelf life" improvements were observed for the plants treated with the tested product.
