A Word from Our Maker!

G'day,

Choc Irwin speaking!

After Helen and I retired from the butcher shop business four years ago I decided to spend more time doing what I really like doing... fishing! Trouble was, a bloke couldn't find a decent worm to put on a hook. So, I thought, why not breed a few for my mates and myself! Well, one thing led to another, and today the worms I started out with are helping me produce R.U.M. In fact, I've had to put them on overtime! But we couldn't meet the demand without the efforts of partner Nick Deverall and the boys out at the Beaulieu worm factory. Quality control of our earthworm-based product is most important and round the clock monitoring is required.

I was talking to a bloke I know who grows cotton out Garah way - and a good farmer he is, too - who put about 10,000L of our R.U.M. on 500 Hectares at 4L/ha, prior to sowing. He followed up with three ground and aerial applications. Interesting thing was, he sowed about a month later than most of his neighbours. Now he reckons that his crop not only caught up but increased his yield. I can't argue because he just ordered another 50,000L for this season! His theory is that if his usual fertiliser outlays cost about $80/ha, and he can save just $20/ha by using R.U.M., then that becomes real cash over 4,000ha of winter and summer cropping!

We all love our footy around here so I wasn't expecting the 'serve' I got from Digby McNeil, Vice President of the Inverell Rugby Club. Seems the Grounds committee decided to give our R.U.M. a go on the playing surface. Well, it worked so well that the bloke who drives the lawn mower is complaining that he has to cut the grass twice as often as usual!

Oh! By the way, don't do what an eminent Hunter Valley stud master did recently and use an empty R.U.M. container to temporarily store diesel fuel. When a friend took him to the task, the stud master's wife chimed in, "...and you're looking at the same bloke who tried to start the motor mower with RoundUp!"

Cheers,

Choc.

Armidale City 'Bowled Over' by R.U.M.

Our thanks to Warwick Morris, Manager of Thermal Turf King Pty. Ltd. for his nice letter which read, in part:

I have been delighted with the results of using R.U.M. on the Tift-dwarf greens at Armidale City Bowling Club. Statewide the season was a poor growing one and I am convinced that without R.U.M. we would not have achieved the results that we did

Satisfied customers are our best advertisement, Warwick!

Where can I use R.U.M.?

Cereal - Oil Crops - Cotton

Pasture - Produce - Sugar Cane

Herbs - Flowers

Anything else that GROWS!
