What Are You Paying Now?
If you're buying urea, potash, MAP, and lime separately, you're coordinating multiple suppliers, multiple passes, and paying more per acre than you need to.

What N-Rich® Delivers in a Single Application
At an average application of 1.5 tonnes per acre, every tonne of N-Rich® puts real dollar value back into your soil:
Lime (CaCO₃)
$36.30/tonneThe #1 reason growers choose N-Rich. 23% lime equivalency corrects soil pH in 2–4 weeks — not the 6–8 months you’d wait with conventional ag lime at $40/MT. On Essex County’s heavy Brookston clay, that speed matters.
Magnesium (Mg)
$40.40/tonne5% magnesium — critical for chlorophyll production and often deficient in acidic clay soils. Worth $40.40/tonne vs. buying K-Mag at $850/MT separately.
Sulphur (S)
$42.55/tonne1% sulphur supports protein synthesis in soybeans and nitrogen uptake in corn. Worth $42.55/tonne vs. calcium sulphate at $540/MT.
Potassium (K₂O)
$36.52/tonne2% potassium for stalk strength in corn and overall plant health. Worth $36.52/tonne vs. potash at $690/MT.
Phosphorus (P₂O₅)
$22.60/tonne1% phosphorus — especially valuable in Essex County soils where pH-locked P is common. Worth $22.60/tonne vs. MAP at $1,273/MT.
Nitrogen (N)
$17.03/tonne1% supplemental nitrogen to support early crop growth and reduce starter fertilizer needs. Worth $17.03/tonne vs. urea at $785/MT.
Plus 2% organic matter per tonne — improves drainage, reduces compaction, and feeds the soil biology that drives long-term productivity on Essex County's heavy clay. No commercial equivalent typically purchased — it's a bonus.
Why Essex County Farmers Choose N-Rich®
Essex County's heavy Brookston clay soils are some of the most productive in Ontario when managed well — but they acidify fast under continuous corn and soybean production. Waiting 6–8 months for conventional ag lime to break down means you're losing yield in the meantime. N-Rich® gets your pH moving in 2–4 weeks, not seasons — and delivers the nutrients and organic matter your soil needs in the same pass.
From the greenhouse corridor around Leamington and Kingsville to the open-field operations in Harrow and Essex, getting your soil chemistry right is the foundation of everything else. N-Rich replaces multiple products and multiple passes with one CFIA-registered application — simpler logistics, lower cost per acre, and faster results.
Also Serving Chatham-Kent
Chatham-Kent ranks as one of the highest-value agricultural municipalities in Canada. From Chatham to Blenheim, Ridgetown to Tilbury, farmers here face the same reality: continuous row-crop production draws down pH, and conventional programs mean one pass for lime, another for fertilizer, and the associated costs of each.
N-Rich® consolidates those inputs into a single application with an average of 1.5 tonnes per acre. Fewer passes, less compaction from equipment traffic, and lower total input cost per acre. And because N-Rich's lime equivalency starts working in weeks rather than months, you see pH improvement in the same growing season you apply.
Why Local Matters
When you work with Harm Spangenberg at HS Soil Amendments, you get someone who knows the soils between Windsor and Chatham-Kent and will pick up the phone when you call. No sales team, no upselling, no minimum order designed to benefit the supplier. You tell Harm what your soil tests show and how many acres you need to cover. He gives you an honest recommendation and a quote.
Call Harm, tell him your acreage and what your soil tests show, and he'll give you a quote and coordinate delivery to your field. That's it.
Don't Wait Until Next Season
Every season you run without correcting your pH, you're paying for fertilizer that's locked up in the soil and unavailable to your crop. Fall application after harvest and spring application before planting are both effective windows — but delivery slots fill on a first-come, first-served basis.
No commitment. No minimum order. Just a straight answer on whether N-Rich makes sense for your fields.

Common Questions From Essex County & Chatham-Kent Growers
How does N-Rich compare to agricultural lime for pH correction?
Agricultural lime (ag lime) typically takes 6–8 months to fully react with your soil and move pH. N-Rich’s lime equivalency (CaCO₃ at 23%) starts working within 2–4 weeks because of its fine particle size and chemical properties. For Essex County farmers who need pH correction before or during the growing season, that speed advantage is significant.
What application rate should I use?
N-Rich is typically applied at 1.5 tonnes per acre, depending on your current soil pH, nutrient levels, and crop requirements. Harm will recommend a rate based on your specific soil test results. There is no one-size-fits-all answer — the right rate depends on your land.
Is N-Rich approved for use on food crops?
Yes. N-Rich is registered with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) as a soil amendment approved for agricultural use, including food crops. It has been manufactured by Walker Industries for over 30 years with a consistent track record across Ontario.
Do you deliver to farms in Chatham-Kent?
Absolutely. HS Soil Amendments serves the entire Chatham-Kent municipality, including Chatham, Blenheim, Ridgetown, Tilbury, Wallaceburg, Dresden, and surrounding rural areas. Delivery is coordinated to fit your schedule.
