Most TM users familiar with my reports will be aware of Mr Macadamia (Michael Cooper) having used TM Agricultural for nine years on his extensive orchards at Elimbah, SE Qld. Mike has observed major changes in his orchards over the period in which he has used TM Agricultural. (see Mr Macadamia’s report here)

Soil & Tree health is very stable and the use of inorganic inputs has decreased by 40 %. Importantly, cropping has remained strong. For the 2022 season Michael delivered 7 TPH in shell @ 10% MC and estimated up to 1 TPH lost to the exceptionally wet conditions. Quality of delivered product was very good with average reject below 1%.

Michael has several connections who he has encouraged to use TM Agricultural in various applications. His annual order includes a few additional ltrs to cover these applications. Among these connections is Michael’s brother Richard who purchased a property at Cunnamulla Qld, nestled on the bank of the Warrego River. The accommodation infrastructure on the property is beautifully positioned on the river however the soil is pretty tough and at the time the property was taken over 12 months ago it was virtually devoid of grass cover. Michael to the rescue with TM and the change is amazing. Richard applied TM 3-4 times across the year using pending or present rainfall to assist the process.
