Charlie Carp is an organic liquid fish fertiliser that enriches your garden with micro and macro nutrients to promote growth, whilst simultaneously stabilising the Australian ecosystem. This savvy gardening solution creates plant food made from whole European Carp, one of the most invasive fish species in the world. Blending the elements of environmental sustainability and a nutrient-dense fertiliser, Charlie Carp has cemented itself as one of the best organic fertilisers available on the market.
What is an organic fertiliser?
An organic fertiliser is a type of fertiliser that is made purely from naturally occurring ingredients and contains no artificial or synthetic elements. Organic fertilisers offer a range of benefits over traditional synthetic fertilisers. For example, organic fertilisers have greater water retention because they increase the texture of the soil. This creates the perfect environment for plants to thrive, whereas synthetic fertilisers can damage soil quality. Another advantage of organic fertilisers is that they tend to release slower than their synthetic counterparts, meaning that your plants get fed when they need to be fed. On the other hand, artificial fertilisers can overfeed your plants which can damage them.
How is Charlie Carp environmentally friendly?
As mentioned prior, European Carp are an incredibly invasive species and have unfortunately plagued Australia’s waters. These fish wreck our river systems and undermine riverbanks, making it extremely difficult for our native fish to flourish in their natural environment. Thankfully, Charlie Carp products are made from 100% European Carp, which means that you can be sure your fertiliser is high-quality, and you can contribute to cleaning Australian waterways – A win-win situation!
Beyond their mission of reducing the European Carp population, their avoidance of synthetic ingredients means that fewer waterways end up polluted. Unlike their synthetic counterparts that release an abundance of carbon into the atmosphere, organic fertilisers have a smaller carbon footprint due to less energy use in the production process.
Why Charlie Carp is the best fertiliser for lawns and gardens alike!
A few of you may be somewhat skeptical about the performance of Charlie Carp on other aspects of the garden, such as veggies and orchids. The good news is, Charlie Carp is suitable for use on all types of plants, fruit trees, and garden flowers as long as it is diluted accordingly! This liquid fertiliser concentrate is also highly economical, as 1L of Charlie Carp can make up to a whopping 300L of fertiliser.
Another reason why Charlie Carp is one of the best liquid fertilisers on the market is that it can improve soil quality. This leads to deeper rooting and makes it far easier for the plants to absorb nutrients. Charlie Carp is even capable of restoring unproductive soil, increasing your planting opportunities!
As a bonus, Charlie Carp works as a possum repellent! Possums dislike the smell of Charlie Carp products due to the natural oils from the fish, so not only will your garden be thriving with rich nutrients, but it will protect your garden from one of Australia’s most damaging perpetrators.
