Organic fertilizer in 3 hours, not 3 months

Buffalo Fertilizer is made from local organic waste, mainly chicken manure from Namib Poultry. Our enzyme process turns it into a stable, mature fertilizer in about three hours. Traditional composting takes three to six months and loses half the nutrients on the way.

Core technology: enzyme composting

Developed and patented in Taiwan, the process replaces slow microbial composting with enzymes. A custom enzyme formula, grown from patented strains and tuned to each kind of waste, stabilises and matures the material more than 100 times faster.

It runs sealed in a bioreactor, so there is no smell and no wastewater, and it works on almost any organic waste: manure, plant residue, kitchen waste and more.

Held at 80 °C for at least 30 minutes, which kills pathogens, insect eggs and weed seeds.

How it's made

  1. Collect

    Chicken manure from Namib Poultry, plus plant residue and other degradable waste from nearby.

  2. Shred

    Crushed to a fine, even size so the enzymes reach every particle.

  3. Bioreact

    The enzyme formula matures each batch in about 3 hours at 80 °C.

  4. Screen

    A rotary screen takes out oversize pieces for an even product.

  5. Pack

    Bagged as powder or pressed into pellets, in 2 kg and 25 kg bags.

Production process: patented strains, fermentation and enzyme extraction make the enzyme; organic waste is smashed, treated in a batch or continuous bioreactor for 3 hours, and comes out as organic fertilizer or granular products

What it does

  • Feeds crops a full range of nutrients and improves the quality of the harvest.
  • Builds soil structure, so soil holds water and nutrients for longer.
  • Repairs hard, compacted and saline soil.
  • Strengthens roots and helps plants stand up to cold, drought and pests.
  • Feeds the soil's microbes and makes chemical fertilizer work harder, so you need less of it.

How to apply

Base application

When ploughing, spread 300 g per square metre evenly through the top 150 to 300 mm of soil. Best for densely planted crops.

Top dressing

Dig a trench 100 to 150 mm wide in the root zone, spread 10 to 30 g per plant and cover with soil.

Foliar spray

Mix 1 part fertilizer with 100 parts water, let it stand for 12 hours, filter, and spray the leaves on a calm evening.

Fruit trees

Apply in a ring trench under the edge of the canopy, in trenches running out from the trunk, in strips between rows, or in holes beside each plant.
