Having…

A flourishing soil life (bugs) means you can reduce the need for fertiliser especially nitrogen and phosphate

Plants…

Or crops depend on a symbiotic relationship between soil life (bugs) for there own growth.

This…

Soil life or the encouragement of it- is probably the most important part of soil management.

Did you know…

75% of a crop’s nutrient requirement is taken up in the top 20 cm of the soil

Or…

To give it’s correct title the rhizosphere where air and water meet in the right proportions producing an aerobic environment which crops thrive in.

Improving…

The rhizosphere is we believe to be the most important part of soil management.

How…

By looking after the bugs in the soil.

The bugs…

In the soil need energy, like us to grow and survive. Some is given to them by the growing crop and some comes from a crops residue left over at harvest.

That energy…

In the form of organic carbohydrates allows the bugs to live and die so making our soils more fertile.

This is…

A very simplistic description of how humus is produced, in our soils but is none the less true.

With…

Correct management of air through our cultivations and with crop residues being returned to the soil, over time soils will increase in humus or organic matter.

Humus…

Is a major nutrient holder particularly for nitrogen, phosphate & sulphur

Enabling some…

Farmers to reduce their nitrogen input by 20+%.
