ORGANIC GROWTH SYSTEM (OGS)
We Combine Science And Nature To Put Erosion Control & Revegetation Into Overdrive!
Revegetation can prove to be particularly difficult owing to the diversity of soil, site and weather conditions in Australia.
In response to this challenge, we have developed an innovative system for growing vegetation without the need for top soil or compost blankets. Our number one objective is always, to grow long lasting, thick resilient vegetation. And with the development of our Organic Growth System (OGS), we have found a way to cut costs without cutting corners.
Our unique OGS service includes a preliminary site soil and water analysis. The pH levels are determined so that we can establish the appropriate balance to successfully grow grass. The ground is then treated to adjust the pH levels, and supplemented with nutrients as required.
Sometimes carbon boosting (liquid peat) is also required. The reality is that grass will simply not grow in damaged, nutrient depleted soil.
After the soil has been treated, a straw mulch application is sprayed at rates between 8-10 tonnes/hectare. Growgrass™ uses a hydromulch made from wheat straw (EnviroStraw) rather than sugar cane mulch, as all other hydroseeding contractors do.
The benefits of EnviroStraw are that it holds more water than sugar cane mulch, and does not draw nitrogen from the soil as its breaks down, as sugar cane mulch does.
The Organic Growth System we use truly is the next generation in hydraulic growth systems. Our OGS is composed of a proprietary blend of organic renewable fibres, growth mediums and soil stabilisers with natural plant and microbial simulators for fast paced seed growth. OGS is a site specific formula, as we recognise that no two sites are the same.
This OGS has been developed in Australia to combat the many challenges faced during revegetation in the harsh Australian environment.
In order to get vegetation growing quickly, we concentrate on building humus and plant available carbon. Every inoculate we use is certified organic and safe for the environment. Applicators are certified to apply the process ensuring the site specific recipe is followed.
By concentrating on building humus in the soil, our OGS works with mother nature in the following ways:

By concentrating on building humus in the soil, our OGS works with mother nature in the following ways:
- Improving soil friability and resilience (structure) for reduced erosion and increased root development.
- Increasing available water holding capacity for improved water efficiency.
- Reducing nutrient leaching with increased nutrient availability (increased cation exchange capacity) for improved fertiliser efficiency.
- Reducing damaging effects of soil-acidifying and agricultural practices.
- Increasing microbial activity for more complete nutrient cycling and disease suppression.
- Providing effective cover from the mulch fibre to reduce raindrop detachment of the soil. EnviroStraw is combined with our proprietary blend of binders, effectively minimising erosion.
- OGS stimulates vegetation establishment, minimising the need for carting and placement of expensive topsoil and compost.
