Feedback from the Gardeners

epicactus_ackermanii Dennis Greville, Garden Author & Photographer, NZ Gardener columnist

"The results from using Nature’s Curator every week on certain plants has been nothing short of spectacular.

Shy flowering cacti are now literally covered with blooms. I looked at the plant in question and wondered if it was a little excessive in its new-found vigour! My sweet william plants that I have grown for many years have never looked quite like they do at the moment. At 50cms in height and covered with velvety deep crimson perfumed blooms, they look better than they have ever done before.

Further, some very tragic geraniums (pelargoniums) and languishing tomato plants have, after three applications of Curator, bust into growth and flower. I am so impressed with this product." Get results like Dennis - Buy Today

“I sprayed Nature’s Curator twice a week for five weeks on lots of veggies and was amazed at the results. You could see the difference by week two. I had a good row of eggplants & a puny row. The puny crop has now caught up to the better row. I'm amazed at the rapid results for such little effort. Wow, is all I can say as this is the product all gardeners have been waiting for. "

moneymaker_tomatoes Kay Schroder, Otakiri Garden Circle, Whakatane.

"My Money Maker, Beef Steak & Acid Free tomatoes shot away and the end result was tomatoes ready 4 weeks ahead of the others. The plants were 18" taller and had thicker stalks than unsprayed ones. Even my Petunias did very well despite the dry summer."

Mr E.A Hart, Kaitia.

“I used Nature’s Curator on my Moneymaker Tomatoes and the sprayed ones handled a cold snap much better than the unsprayed plants. They now appear stronger than the untreated plants and I’m expecting a good crop. At 82, I now have only a small garden, but really enjoyed trailing the product”

strawberry_trial_for_web Cynthia Casey, Whangarei.

“I have been using Nature's Curator and a few weeks ago I decided to test your product as I often do just to be sure a product is doing just what is advertised. About three weeks ago I was first applying Nature's Curator to my Strawberries and I decided to keep one plant clear of the application. Today I photographed the results and as you can see there is a big difference between plants.  I still have a little black spot on the latest plant but not as much as before. They really look lush.”

Colin Ardern, Conifer Grove Gardening Club

“I completed a 5 week trial with Nature’s Curator and the strawberries were at least three weeks ahead of the unsprayed ones. The silverbeet absolutely took off and was twice the size of the others and it also tasted better. Even the hanging baskets showed superior growth. Overall there is more colour in the garden as well” he says, “It really works, and there’s absolutely no mess or waste."



An avid veggie grower since his mother sent him into the garden as a nipper to keep him busy, Colin has been spraying any left over Nature’s Curator on the rest of his garden.

pansy_for_web Brian Gundeson, Superintendant, Tawa Lawn Bowls Club

"I can't believe the results on my home garden, have you ever seen pansies this tall? I also sprayed a Goji Berry bush, which were basically just sticks, about 30cms high, until I sprayed them with Nature’s Curator. The bush is now easily over 1.5 metres tall and covered in healthy green leaves.

I also sprayed a beefsteak tomato plant and the leaves have gone very waxy, shiny and really healthy. I’ve never seen tomato plant leaves like it before."

robyn_wolfe_tomato_for_web Robyn Wolfe, Tokoroa

“I’ve been using Nature’s Curator for some time now and have noticed hardly any black spot on my roses, no spitting bug on the lavender and no blight on my tomatoes! A small grape that had leaves covered in white spots and turning brown are now healthy and green, I’m most impressed with that!”

Robyn sprayed during the months leading up to black spot season to help build her plants immunity to fungal attack and pests.Check out Robyns webpage.
bobs_rhodo_for_web Bob Cooper, New Brighton, Christchurch.
“I sprayed Nature's Curator only a few times on my garden and have been totally amazed at the size of the flowers on my Rhododenrons this year. The colour was so vibrant and each plant was an absolute mass of flowers. I've never seen them so bright and colourful before. I have now sprayed it on my roses and they are covered with buds, I can't wait to see the results on them.”

cabbage_tree_for_web

Paul Mead, Nelson.
“I have been using Nature's Curator off and on for some time with the most noticeable and rewarding of results using this product on cabbage trees. There is a virus that seems to give the plants a hard time and can, it seems, be helped by Natures Curator. I had one plant starting to bend over like a staple, only to straighten out and grow up-right again after spraying this product. Nothing I have used in the past has given this kind of result, amazing! The plant is doing really well in poor clay soil and so are the other cabbage trees. A true testament to this product, well done.”
In Paul's photo you can see the bend in the trunk - "where the tree started heading toward the ground, as soon as I started using the product it straightened it self out".

heather_with_ferns Heather Manning, Pritchards Customer, Paraparaumu.

"I decided to try Nature's Curator on two of my indoor ferns. I added some fish fertilizer to both and then sprayed one, just three times over a six week period and you can clearly see the difference in the plants. The sprayed one shot away with huge growth and what really amazed me was the deep colour and health compared to the unsprayed one. This is surely proof that this amazing spray really works."

Heather brought her plants in to share at an in-store demonstration, she also won the free raffle!

 

miadenhair_fern_for_web Wendy, Palmers Gardenworld, Frankton.
"I have been spraying the indoor plants for a few weeks now and I'm most impressed with the maidenhair ferns. The leaf edges have stopped going brown and they are the healthiest I have ever seen them. The flowering plants are covered in blooms and they have been flowering for longer too".
bonnie_with_buxus_for_web Bonnie, Pacifica Garden Centre & Cafe, Papamoa.

"One of our most prominent plants, a standard buxus was really struggling after a particularly cold winter, with massive hail in May, and a series of severe frosts in July and August. The topiary buxus, which is usually the pride of the nursery, was really on deaths door, to the point that we even thought about removing it. Then we gave it a few sprays and it has greened up, with healthy new growth and is now looking better than ever”.

Pictured is Bonnie from Pacifica with the showpiece standard buxus brought back to health with Nature's Curator.

john_head John Head, Organic Gardener, Waiuku.

"I've been using Nature's Curator for almost a year on feijoa, grape vines and citrus trees, normally in shorts & T-shirt! I've been impressed by the new growth on all the trees and have seen a huge increase in fruit volume. The citrus changed from yellow to green virtually overnight! The garden is more healthy than ever and now has a natural balance. My advice to gardeners - Buy it and use it, it's a great product."
Watch an interview with John.

John worked years ago in agricultural spraying and remember suiting up in cover-alls, gloves, goggles, face mask and breathing aparatus in order to spray kiwi fruit and vinyards. He is now an organic gardener with a range of fruit trees, vines and vegetables growing on his section in South Auckland.
bas_nz_for_web Helen Nutt, The Botanical Art Society of NZ Inc.

"We were delighted to have our flowers sprayed with Nature's Curator at the Ellerslie International Flower Show.  The marquee conditions taxed the flowers and Nature's Curator maintained their freshness and radiance throughout the entire Show. We feel the floral arrangement and standard roses benefited from their daily tonic."

sarah__ivey_hall_for_web Sarah Currie, Lincoln University.

"We've been spraying Nature's Curator each day of the show and I can't believe how well the roses have lasted after over a week in the Marquee. The Ivey Hall Roses are actually showing good signs of growth and I believe they look healthier than when we first put them on display."

Fi McMurray, Gardening enthusiast and author.

I was given a trade sample of an interesting product called 'Nature's Curator' a few months ago, and have been trialing it on my vegetables at home. I haven't been using it long but I'm really impressed with it so far. (I have no financial interest in the product, by the way - was just given a sample - so this is an honest comment!)

"This product is absolutely fantastic.  It's given great results on everything I've sprayed, but the most outstanding result has been with my 19 year old lemon tree, which was infested with borer, covered in lumps and bugs both on the fruit and leaves, and was pretty much giving up the ghost.  Being an organic gardener I didn't want to use chemicals on it.  I sprayed it with Nature's Curator all through summer and this winter have been rewarded with a glossy, healthy tree loaded with masses of juicy fruit which has smooth, deep yellow skins."

Delwyn Adams, Wellington February 09

"I was about to pull my lemon tree out thinking it was dead. Some of the branches had died and it looked diseased.  I tried Natures Curator and only after a few days the leaves began to grow.  I’m now thinking there may be some hope for my plant and maybe I will see some lemons growing after all."

lynsey_for_web

Lynsey Morgan, Te Horo

"We tried to get shelter plants to grow in this very windy and salt-sprayed location and nothing seemed to work. Our latest effort was these Pseudopanax, which really struggled. They have recovered well and are now showing a good flush of green leaves and plenty of new growth. The only thing I can put it down to is Nature’s Curator."

Lynsey grows flowers for export and has a large and diverse garden in Te Horo, an area wind swept from the sea along the Kapiti Coast.

bougainvillea Ross Savage, Avondale, Auckland.

"Our dwarf Bougainvillea pot plant is three years old. For the first year it had reasonable flowering and in the second year the plant suffered severe withering of the foliage and dying back. Natures Curator was applied monthly at the beginning of the growing season, and the plant has fully recovered with a very rewarding display of flowers."

Grow amazing flowers!
h_ford_for_web Helen Ford, Auckland Herb Society

"We trialed Nature’s Curator on Thyme & Sage. The Thyme took off and was much larger than other plants. The aroma and taste of the Sage was much more intense than the unsprayed one.

I came home with my sample bottle and sprayed my baby cauliflower plants that I put in the ground the week before and I could even see a difference the next day, with strong and upright plants."

maniatoto_grass_for_web Brian Gundeson, Superintendant, Tawa Lawn Bowls Club

"The side-by-side trial I did on Cotula Maniototo grass was really impressive. I planted 4 plants into each of three pots, actually the Nature’s Curator test pot were real runts and were planted a week after the others. After 12 weeks of regular spraying, the results are obvious. The first pot was the control, the second was treated with Nitrosol liquid blood & bone and the third had just Nature’s Curator. You can easily see the 3rd pot has outgrown each side and has thickened and matted up better than the others. The leaves are a better colour and look far healthier, with thicker growth - and it was planted a week after the others.
If this product can help reduce stress on the greens and speed up recovery of patches and plugs without using chemicals, it will change the way we approach green management"

will_rogers__macracarpa_for_web Will Rogers, Grounds Assistant, Levin Golf Course

"The results on everything I'd sprayed at home, from vegetables to the Camelia (which had the most prolific coverage of buds I've ever seen) was so astounding that I knew it would be great for the course. Not only did the new trees seem to cope better with the elements this winter, I can actually see new growth coming on at last. I’m amazed they survived the frosts and this spring they are looking incredibly healthy.
I sprayed a patch on the 6th Tee box to see what would happenturf_for_web and the results are incredible. You can celarly see better health, vigor and colour of the sprayed grass. Even areas of lawn with high foot traffic have benefited from a spray and I'm using it on everything in the nursery."

Anna Harries, Landscape gardener, Miramar Links

“The Pittosporum were basically just sticks and hadn’t shown any sign of doing anything since they were put in four years ago. Now, after only a few weeks of spraying, it’s quite clear to see all the new growth. They have bulked up and some even have flowers. The only thing I’ve changed is to spray them with Nature’s Curator”.

We are particularly impressed with the volume of flowers produced on the south facing solandra at our home office."

Gardenco has been using Nature's Curator on their clients' gardens since 2008 and the team enjoy using it because of the ease of application with this natural product.
maureen_woods_trial Maureen Woods, Parklands Garden Club. Burwood, Christchurch.

“I really enjoyed trialing Nature’s Curator on Sunbell Petunias, a perennial and lavender. The spray really came into it’s own with sick plants. The lavendar I thought would die has made a full recovery and is flowering again. The perennial that had wilted and looked dead came to life after only a few days with robust new growth and plenty of buds. The Sunbell has thrived with lots of new leaves and a mass of flowers”.

“There was a huge noticeable difference in my Buttercup Pumpkin, it simply leapt ahead of the unsprayed plants in terms of leaves, growth, health & flowers. Amazing Growth."

kaffir_lime Jan & Geoff, Millstream Gardens, Pukehou.

"We've been very impressed with Nature's Curator. We sprayed an assortment of plants, veges, house plants & especially a Kaffir Lime & Limequat which were struggling with scale infestation. Both these plants seem to be clear of scale now & have put on lots of new growth. Our Eggplants & pepper crop has been much more prolific than usual as well."

mavis_maryatt_trial Mavis Marryatt, Heretaunga Garden Club.

"I planted two of the same tomatoes in-front of 6 runner beans and what amazed me was the bean which got just the overspray absolutely took off. It had flowers ten days before the others and is still producing lots of beans. I had ½ a bucket of tomatoes and lots of beans and am looking forward to using it again next season."

orchid_for_web Daniel, Palmers Gardenworld Plimmerton.

“The indoor flowering plants have improved leaf health and I've noticed the orchids and begonias have been flowering for a lot longer after being sprayed. We revived a few peace lillies, which had brown leaves and they have new shoots and greener, healthier foliage”

m_welbeloved_trial Margaret Welbeloved, North Christchurch Garden Club.

“The Tomato sprayed with Nature’s Curator was slightly taller than the unsprayed, both had good growth, lots of flowers and good overall health – perhaps I should have put them in different pots? I did also spray some on an indoor orchid and it has had very good growth.”

We suggest if you want to try Nature's Curator, to spray on one of two similar plants, but not in the same container, as over spray will effect both the control & test specimen.
