FAQ's

DOG UNRINE LAWN BURN – How to restore urine burn in your lawn with Swift Grow

he high concentration of nitrogen in dog pee is what kills the lawn. It also kills all natural living bacteria in the soil.

A combined Swift team effort fromΒ Swift GrowΒ (restores the soil microbiota),Β Swift FortΒ (feeds the microbiota and kills any pests) andΒ Swift LifeΒ (neutralises toxins and boosts the microbiota numbers) will help restore your dog-damagedΒ lawn. This Swift package is on specialΒ here.

Before you start, please securely partition the urine-burned lawnΒ into two sections, treating the partitioned section till it recovers (typically up to 4 weeks) then rotateΒ the dogs into it while you treat the other partition.

Directions of Use per 10 sqm:

  1. Shake all three bottles before mixing. Have a clean 9L watering can on hand.
  2. From theΒ Swift GrowΒ bottle add ofΒ 80ml (or 4 capfuls)Β to the watering can
  3. From theΒ Swift LifeΒ bottleΒ addΒ 20mlΒ to the same watering can.
  4. From theΒ Swift FortΒ bottle addΒ 20mlΒ to the same watering can.
  5. Top up the same 9L watering can with water and spray directly and evenly to theΒ lawnΒ covering 10 sqm.
  6. Repeat the application weekly for 4 consecutive weeks or till you start to observe emerging plant life, then reduce frequency to match the growth you desire.

HYDROPONICS - How do you use Swift Grow in hydroponics system.

Swift Grow is being successfully and extensively used by many hydroponicsΒ customers, with outstanding results.

Swift Grow is very effective inΒ HydroponicsΒ systems for vegetablesΒ and fruit.

We have quite a fewΒ HydroponicsΒ customers aroundΒ Australia, which we can put you in touch with ifΒ you wish.

We have conducted trials with Sydney Uni showing 100% hydroponics seed to seedling conversion.

The basic usage steps of Swift Grow inΒ hydroponics:

  1. DetermineΒ the optimal PH of your vegetables
  2. Using a PH meter in your holding tank, slowly add Swift Grow till the optimal PH is reached.
  3. Daily check theΒ PH of your water and add Swift Grow to lower the PH or replace tank water with new/neutralΒ water to raise the PH in order to maintain optimal PH.
    NOTE: EC reading is not relevant for Swift Grow.Β 

NEMATODES - Nematodes in the soil that have affected my veggie growth, particularly tomatoes.

Most nematode species have a beneficial role in the soil, but a few are pest species that feed on plant roots and damage roots directly or make them more susceptible to fungal diseases.Β In the absence of which nematodes you are referring to and assumingΒ you are experiencing the nematodes that are feeding on your plant roots, then I would suggest applying one or two doses of Swift Fort directly to the moist soil where the nematodes are known to operate, so the content of Swift Fort reaches theirΒ location, else dig away the soil before apply Swift Fort. High dose of Swift Fort:

100 – 200 mml of Swift Fort in a 9L watering can, mix well and spray over a 10 sqm area
Repeat if required.

LEAF MINERS - What is the best way to use Swift products for the treatment of citrus leaf miner?

I suggest usingΒ Swift FORTΒ to help kill the leaf miners pests infesting your lemon tree/s leaves:
If you have a clean and empty 750ml or 1000ml hand held spray bottle, add a tablespoonΒ ofΒ Swift FortΒ to the bottle (or two tablespoons if a heavy infestation), top up with water and shake well.Β 
Then spray the lemon tree leaves daily or every second day for a week or till the leaves start to clean up.Β 
Maintain spray thereafter every second week.Β 

DIEBACK - we have some die back on the grape vines and trees. What do you recommend to get them growing vigorous again?

Dieback is an emerging problem due to depleted soil microbial life.
Swift Life was created to treat Dieback.
We have useful information and usage instructions on reversing DiebackΒ here.

BINDIS - We have an acre of land and the weeds and bindis are bad, what is the best treatment for bindis so we can enjoy our lawn?

Bindis andΒ weeds thrive when grass is bare (has patches), depleted of nutrients and/or is consistently cut low. The reverse is true.

The best natural way to beatΒ bindisΒ is to restore the grass/lawn to full health by restoring the micro-organisms in the soil with Swift Grow which will promote healthy and lush lawn growth. Then you’ll findΒ bindisΒ will be out-competed by the lawn and theΒ bindiΒ seeds will go dormant and stay that way as long as you don’t cut the lawn too low and draught theΒ soil.

These are the steps to take:

  1. First four applications use 3 litres of Swift Grow per acre, two weeks between applications on moist soil. Reduce to 500ml per acre thereafter every 4 weeks or so.
  2. Allow the lawn to grow to choke out the bindis.
  3. Mow the lawn at maximum mower height then gradually lower with each mow but do not expose the soil.

HEAVY RAIN - Will heavy rain after applying wash away and leach out the fertiliser?

No. The fertiliser is made of living micro-organisms that naturally live in the soil. Chemical fertilisers, on the other hand, will leach into the soil and into the waterways and oceans causing environmental issues that are frequently reported in the news.Β 

NEW LAWN - I am sowing a new lawn and want to know if Swift Grow will stimulate growth without potentially burning the new lawn like some other products can.

No. Swift Grow will not burn the new lawn as it does not contain concentrated chemicals, rather natural live active bacteria. Noting not to exceed the recommended dosage range in the user guide.

EFFECTIVE TIME - Once your product is mixed and diluted to the correct application ratio how long will it remain viable in my 5 litre watering can?

24-48hours. As soon as you dilute Swift Grow you activate the bacteria out of its suspended state. The viability will decay exponentially over 48 hours, so best to apply to the soil immediately after diluting.Β 

SAFETY PROTECTION - As Swift Grow is highly concentrated will I be required to wear gloves and protective eyewear when handling to minimise any skin damage?

It is recommended to wear gloves and eye protection. If contact is made with the skin or eyes, then immediately wash with running water.Β 

NPK RATIO - What is the N.P.K ratio for Swift Grow? I have lemon trees that require a good dose of nitrogen so I want to know if this is the right product to use.

The typical NPK ratio is as shown on the bottle label, however the bacteria in Swift Grow will detect N stresses in the soil and dynamically produce Nitrates from Nitrogen in the air to meet the need of the lemon trees. Swift Grow dynamically detects and produces what any host plant needs in the soil, just like nature has always done.Β 

OVERSEAS FREIGHT - Can you freight direct from Australia and how long does it take to arrive overseas from order date?

Yes we can, sea freight typically takes 10 to 30 days, air freight 2 to 5 days but about 3 times more expensive than sea freight.Β 

FOLIAGE SPRAY - Can I spray swift Grow on the foliage of my pot plants as well to stimulate growth?

Yes you can, noting about 20% of nutrients are absorbed via the foliage and the rest via the roots.Β 

SOIL PH - I have a mix of alkaline soils and also grow Rhododendrons that love acid soils, is Swift grow good for plants growing in both these soil types?

Yes, Swift Grow is suitable for both alkaline and acidic soils as long as you apply within the recommended dosage range. We encourage experimenting with your unique soil by increasing the weekly dosage from the minimum and waiting and observing the plant response and modifying accordingly.Β 

FOOD CONTACT - If Swift Grow comes into contact with produce in my garden that is ready to harvest will this be safe to eat straight away?

Yes it will be safe. Swift Grow is a natural disinfectant to pathogens if it comes in contact with produce in the garden. Always wash your produce before consuming.Β 

OVER FERTILISE - If I over fertilise with Swift Grow will I risk die back and root rot in my vegetable garden?

No if you fertilise within the recommended dosage range. Do not apply Swift Grow concentrate from the bottle directly on to your garden.Β 

ORGANIC CLAIM - Many fertilisers on the market claim to be organic and natural, how are the claims for Swift Grow substantiated?

We have undergone thorough inspections by Australian Certified Organics (ACO) that the feed, the fish farming circulatory system and the fertiliser manufacturing process meet their ACO standards and have been successfully granted certification and listed on ACO website as certification number 13128 for the following categories:
Β  Β   – Input for Organic Gardens
Β  Β   – Input for Organic Production
Β  Β   – Certified Allowed InputΒ 

ORGANIC DIFFERENCE - How is Swift Grow different from other 'organic' fertilisers on the market?

In comparison to other organic fertilisers (composed of kelp, Seaweed, chicken manure, cattle manure or Fish emulsion) contain a much smaller count of beneficial bacteria forming cultures, and they being sourced from commercial sources are laced with heavy metals and toxins. Swift Grow is a unique fertiliser super-rich in Lactobacillus bacteria and probiotics, found in fertile soil, with 2.4million culture forming units per litre and is derived purely from fish manure which are farmed sustainably at land-based farm in Riverstone NSW and lab-tested to be free from all heavy metals toxins as it is certified organic and endorsed by the NSW Dept of Primary Industries.Β 

MILDEW PEST - We had an issue with powdery mildew in the zinnias and eventually spread to sunflowers and dahlias. Will Swift Grow help with the plant health and have less issues with fungal growth?

The short answer is β€œyes”.

The more detailed answer is Swift Grow has a natural probiotic that boosts the natural immunity of all plants. You’ll find over time in applying Swift Grow the powdery mildew and fungal growth will decrease and eventually disappear. Further, to accelerate the immunity of your plants we recommend you increase the Swift Grow dosage by three times the minimum recommended dosage amount as you dilute it in water. When you eventually see the mildew start to decrease and disappear over repeat application in time, then you can reduce back to the minimum dosage.

Note: The increased dosage will not burn the roots or harm the plant’s foliage, as you are only increasing the bacteria count/activity in the soil, which is what your plants need to boost their immunity.Β 

BANANA APPLICATION - I have a banana farm I want to fertilise with Swift Grow. Please explain the dosage I should use.

Being your first application, apply the fertiliser, wait and assess the plant response and then decide on the next dosage.

Dosage: Minimum 1 liter per acre using drip irrigation of 300L of water with PH 6.0 to 6.5.

Frequency: Every 2 or 3 weeks.

Assess: Ten days after each application observe the change in the tree growth and determine to maintain, increase or decrease the dosage. If Growth is increasing rapidly then maintain the dosage till growth slows down then reduce to minimum.

If needed, you can call us ten days after the first application so we can help you decide on the next dosage.

SEEDED LAWN - Can Swift Grow be used to grow a lawn from seeds. I have just laid 10 square meters of top soil to grow the lawn and wanted to know if this would be a good product to use when I seed.

The answer is a definite β€œyes”.
Swift Grow will power upΒ yourΒ soil’s natural friendlyΒ microorganisms soΒ yourΒ newly seeded area roars into life quickly, more densely andΒ vigorously.

ForΒ yourΒ 10 sqm ares pour 100ml of Swift Grow into a standard 9L watering can, top up with water and spray evenly. Repeat every thirdΒ day till the grass gets established,Β then after that reduce to 50ml Swift Grow every second week whilst keeping the soil moist.

SPRAY BOTTLE - What is the ratio that I can use to put the Swift Grow into a spray bottle?

YouΒ can use a sprayer bottleΒ such as an 1LΒ empty andΒ cleanΒ Weed n Feed container orΒ youΒ can obtain ourΒ Swift Plug’n’SprayΒ for larger areas – at min ratioΒ of 100ml of Swift Grow (for soil needing a little help) to a max ratio of 500m (for soil with a history of toxins).Β  Top up the 1L bottle with water andΒ attachΒ toΒ yourΒ hose and spray.Β That should cover 200sqm.Β Repeat weekly tillΒ youΒ see the improvementsΒ youΒ are lookingΒ for.

AsΒ youΒ are applying natural living microorganisms (and not harsh chemicals) don’t be afraid to experimentΒ with different dosages to get theΒ required results.

1000L HOLDING TANK MIXTURE - I have a 1000L tank that I plan on putting on lawn and garden what's the best mix for Swift Grow and Swift Fort?

Each soil has its unique history of toxicity thatΒ affects theΒ friendlyΒ microorganisms in Swift Grow, so we give an application dosageΒ RANGE.

For a 1000L holding tank, the suggested dosage ranges are (that typically should cover 1 hectare or 2.5 acres):

Swift GrowΒ (organic fertiliser) 1 to 5 litres.

Swift FortΒ Β (organic pest repellent) 0.5 to 3 litres.

Swift LifeΒ (organic soil inoculant) 0.1 to 1 litre.

Top up the holding tank with water. Swift Fort and Swift Life (if using) can be mixed in the same tank at the same time with Swit Grow. We suggest starting with the upper dosage range for the first 3 weekly applications, observing the response of your lawn after each application for increased growth rate, deeper green colour, and higher density (and bare patches being filled in with new lawn runners).

When you have achieved the lawn characteristics that you desire, then reduce the dosage and frequency to the lower range to maintain that law state.

Don’t be afraid to experiment with different dosages (within the recommended range) and frequencies. Unlike chemical fertilisers that can burn the lawn roots or foliage, Swift product range do not burn your lawn at any dosage.

This mixture is equally applicable to gardens and farms.
