Commencing the manufacture of its organic fertilisers in 1988 from a small factory at Kanmantoo in the Adelaide Hills of South Australia, Neutrog has since grown to become the largest manufacturer of its kind in Australia. Neutrog supplies its products to some of the most magnificent grounds and gardens around the world including high profile local commercial users such as Flemington Racecourse Ro
se Garden, The Victorian State Rose Garden, Old Parliament House Gardens and various Botanic Gardens, along with many of the leading commercial primary producers within the horticulture, viticulture and broadacre markets. Today Neutrog is widely recognised as a supplier of premium quality biological fertilisers.

When it comes to gardening, especially lawns, sometimes the best start is simply understanding what you’re working with.
The variety of lawn you have, the region you live in, your soil type and the amount of rainfall you receive all influence what your lawn needs to look and perform its best.
Knowing your lawn’s characteristics - like texture, elasticity and uniformity - can help you make better decisions when it comes to care and feeding.
Even in the cooler months, fertilising with a balanced, biologically active product like Neutrog’s Seamungus Lawn can support soil health and prepare your lawn for a strong comeback in spring.

Today we were pleased to welcome a team from Elders Limited to our Kanmantoo site for a guided tour and presentation.
The visit provided a valuable opportunity for the group to learn more about soil health, the role of microbes, and how these insights influence Neutrog’s product development.
In our onsite laboratory, Dr Uwe shared an overview of our research and how we apply science in practical, real-world ways to support plant and soil performance, including how we isolate, identify and preserve a vast bank of microbes.
We’re thrilled to celebrate Bernard and Heather Pryor OAM, whose iris ‘Eyes Wide Open’ was recently awarded the prestigious Mary Swords DeBaillon Medal at the 2024 American Iris Society Convention – the highest honour a Louisiana iris can receive!
This marks the fourth time the Pryors have won this international accolade, after decades of hybridising irises and running a beloved hobby nursery in Sydney that exported their stunning varieties worldwide.
To celebrate, we’ve put together a feature article for our August newsletter, where you can read the full story and discover plenty of tips for growing irises at home.
Export has been part of our story for nearly three decades and its steady growth over time, is a reflection of our commitment to achieve that growth organically (pun absolutely intended).
We have worked consistently to develop authentic relationships with our export partners, learning that the value we bring to their business is in the reliable delivery of a trusted product, that exceeds expectation.
It sounds so simple, and yet those who work in export know, sometimes achieving the simple - is complicated!
It's on that premise that we have built our export reputation, something that we are happy to celebrate (on our 37th birthday no less), with today's announcement of Neutrog Australia as a finalist in the 2025 Premier's Export Awards.
Neutrog Australia has been named as a finalist in the 2025 South Australian Premier’s Business and Export Awards. The prestigious awards program attracts nominations from top performing businesses in…

Back on the 22nd of July 1988, without social media (or even the internet) to share the news, no-one thought to take a photo to record the first day of what is now, Neutrog Australia.
Instead, we found this photo that shows a very young MD and founder, Angus, atop of pallet of one of our first products - Rapid Raiser, which was initially developed as a fertiliser for broadacre farmers.
Since then, Neutrog has evolved significantly, but remains driven by the trust placed in our products by farmers and growers to earn their living and equally by gardeners, to create gardens they love.
And for those of you, (like us), who remember where we were and what we were doing in 1988, we'd love you to share what you were up to in The Good Old Days - 37 years ago!

Our next monthly planting guide will be out very soon — and it’s packed with tips to help you make the most of the coming month!
Whether you're planting a new garden, restoring tired soil, or prepping for the season ahead, good soil preparation makes all the difference.
Enrich your soil and create a nutrient and biologically rich foundation with CHOCKABLOK and Seamungus. Water in with GOGO Juice, and be sure to mulch your garden with Whoflungdung to lock in moisture and protect the roots.
Subscribe to our free monthly garden guide for planting lists, key fertilising tasks, and what to look for at your local nursery - based on your climate zone.
While we love seeing our products out in the community, we also get a real kick out of seeing how creatively our community repurposes the empty bags and tubs once the garden work is done.
This clever example comes from Lee at the Australian Plant Society Bendigo, who has transformed her used Bush Tucker bag into a handy carry bag!
It just goes to show - when it comes to reusing plastic, a little creativity can go a long way.

CHOCKABLOK is being put to work in more places than you might expect! 🌿
The Adelaide Botanic Garden has been using CHOCKABLOK in their vibrant Kitchen Garden – a lush, productive space tucked between the historic, red-bricked Goodman Building and the First Creek Wetland.
This garden is packed with life: raised beds overflowing with seasonal fruit, veggies and herbs, climbing plant structures, fruit trees, compost bays, worm farms and bee hotels.

After several days of gusty winds, heavy rain and grey skies, this morning brought a beautiful surprise - a rainbow stretching over Neutrog, captured by one of our team on their way to work.
The blue skies peeking through marked a welcome break in the weather and a reminder that calm always follows the chaos! 🌈

It’s been a while since we’ve given you a glimpse inside the Neutrog lab - so what’s the R&D team been up to?
These roots are part of ongoing research into how microbes can be used to enhance plant health and boost growth. By trialling both existing products and new formulations - applied in various ways including seed coating and direct application - the team is studying how different treatments affect root ball size and density.
We’re looking forward to learning more as this project progresses and will continue to share updates through our newsletter and social media.

Members from Melton Botanic Garden recently shared this great photo of Max, the leader of their Sombrero team, planting a dwarf tree dahlia in the Californian, Central and South American garden.
To give the plant the best possible start, he’s applying a generous dose of Rooster Booster - an organic fertiliser packed with nutrients to promote strong, healthy growth.
We can’t wait to watch this unique and diverse garden space continue to take shape!

About Neutrog - formed in 1988 and based at Kanmantoo, 60kms south east of Adelaide, the Neutrog factory site covers an area of some 20 hectares and employs over 50 people.
Neutrog’s name was born from the combination of ‘nutrients’ and ‘organics’ to accurately reflect the true nature of the products manufactured, which is a range of ACO certified organic products, along with specialist organic-based, chemically-boosted fertilisers, liquid probiotics and our supermulch Whoflungdung.
As a company, Neutrog is only at the beginning of its biological evolution, but we are already manufacturing novel and imaginative products that have never been made – ones that are more microbiologically diverse, making them more robust and adaptable, and more tolerant to drought, heat and frost.
For us, Quality Control and Safety Assurance are critical components of products that perform day in day out. As well as nutrient content and microbiological diversity, our fertilisers are tested for pesticides, fungicides, heavy metals and pathogenic bacteria that are harmful to humans.
From our original factory in South Australia along with the factory established under license in South Africa, Neutrog supplies some of the most magnificent gardens and grounds around the world. Neutrog fertilisers are currently being exported in large quantities from Australia to places like Vietnam, Singapore, Korea and Taiwan where there is a cultural appreciation of our clean, green origins.
Neutrog’s vision is to be the most connected and trusted fertiliser brand in the world. To read more, visit our website www.neutrog.com.au or join the Pooh Bah Club to keep up to date on new product releases and newsletters. Visit www.neutrog.com.au for more information.
