Repair & Restore your garden from damage caused by Herbicide contamination
Is Something Holding Your Garden Back?
If your plants are stunted, twisted, or just refusing to grow — you might be dealing with herbicide contamination in your soil.
It can happen quietly, even in the most well-loved home gardens. You sow your seeds or plant your seedlings, but instead of thriving, they struggle. Leaves curl. Growth stalls. Your garden just doesn’t bounce back.
You’ve watered, composted, and cared — but still, something’s not right.
What Herbicide Contamination Looks Like.
Some of the most common signs include:
Twisted or cupped leaves (especially on tomatoes, beans, and potatoes)
Seedlings that fail to grow beyond a few inches
Patchy germination in raised beds or garden plots
Yellowing, stunted, or deformed plants
A garden that gets worse each season — no matter what you try
How It Gets Into Your Soil
One of the most common hidden sources of herbicide contamination is compost or mulch made with sprayed material — often unknowingly.
You may have heard it called “killer compost” — compost that contains traces of herbicides from lawn clippings, hay, straw, or manure from animals fed on sprayed pasture. These chemicals are designed to break down slowly, and they can linger in your garden soil for months or even years, harming sensitive crops and seedlings.
Even small amounts of residue can upset the delicate balance of your soil biology and affect how your plants grow.
The Good News: Your Garden Can Bounce Back.
At DCT, we work with growers of all sizes — from the largest of farms to lifestyle blocks to backyard gardeners — and we’ve seen just how common this issue has become. But we’ve also seen how quickly soil can recover with the right support.
That’s why we recommend Lazerhume.

“Absolutely swear by this product. Proof is in the results I got. From dead and dying plants from Toxic Compost 12 months ago, to winning 2 Rose Shows this year”
Cathy A - Warkworth
It’s been about a year since I had herbicide contamination here in my flower farm. I didn’t want to report back to you until I was sure the damage had been reversed.
Well I’m completely over the moon about the results! I treated the soil according to your recommendation and then over winter planted crops that aren’t susceptible to the herbicide residue. Come spring I replanted the dahlias there and honestly fully expected to see some problems with leaf curl and bud deformity. However the plants in that row are INCREDIBLE! A lot are taller than me and much healthier and more lush than any of my other rows. I am so pleased that this winter I want to fully treat all the other rows throughout the entire farm.
Application Rate
Application rate of Lazerhume for contaminated, poisoned or toxic areas.
Mix One litre of Lazerhume into ten litres of water.
Apply in a spray covering the affected area at a rate of
one litre of mix to one square meter
then water it in with a sprinkler or hose
this is to aid moving the Lazerhume from the surface down through into the compost and soil where it can start working on the toxins.
apply once a week for at least 6 weeks.
you don’t have to be too accurate, Lazerhume is a safe natural product that is registered as an input for organic growers.
at this rate please don’t apply to the foliage, if you do get some on the plant foliage it washes of easy with the hose.
a regular pressure garden sprayer will do the job, please don’t use a sprayer that has previously contained weed sprays.
This application rate is the ideal rate for a quick recovery of soil and plant you may get satisfactory results using a lesser amount.
