Just over a month ago we utilized our brome which was cut and collected from several arable fields. The process of composting is now complete. Looking forward to sampling in a weeks time to see the levels of microbes.
#wildkenhill#Wildsoils
The brome and black grass we’ve cleared off our cereal fields with the Zurn. I’ve been put to good use. two more rows of compost. #wildkenhill#wildsoils
Supporting information on our composting project. I carried out a baseline analysis of soil from one of our fields then applied over a year a combination of compost and compost extracts. We’re now in the correct succession stage to grow row crops. Looking forward to yield results
Following one application of bio complete compost and several extracts we’re starting to see great results. All indications show we’re making a difference. #wildsoils#wildkenhill#soilhealth#regenfarming
An example of over worked light land, the poor old peas are having a nice peddledashing, if sprayed with a pre em that's now in the hedge or on a neighbours farm 😩
So the affect on the soil from applying 3 litres of bio complete extract is:
Increased fungal hyphae
Reduction in bacteria
Increased Protozoa numbers
This is a sign microbes are recycling, such a positive outcome
So the most surprising part of this project, was the sap test results. Far more nutritional value in the lettuce treated with the bio complete extract. Now we need to role this out to large scale cereal production.
#wildkenhill#wildsoils#SoilForClimateAction
The results are in. After 3 applications of bio complete compost extract a month apart we cut and weighed each lettuce on the treated & unthreaded. 5kgs more lettuce come from the treated plots.
#wildkenhill#wildsoils#SoilForClimateAction
Lettuce seeds grown in non-peat compost in a cold frame, hardened outside before planting. 15 lettuce plants per plot, one application of 1L compost extract applied to 3 plots the other 3 plots just had water. Further applications were made a month apart until harvest.
To complete the soil food web consultancy module i had to grow a crop utilising the principles and practices from the past modules, my project was to grow 90 day lettuce using bio complete compost extract.
