We've been visiting farms as part of the #FeedtheSoil project.
🪱 At Southfield Farm in Northumbria we learned about their innovative methods of making #vermicompost and saw the #bokashi inoculant used in composting their farmyard manure #soilhealth www.organicresearchcentre.com/our-research...

Excellent visit with Pete Richardson at Eastbrook Farm near Swindon yesterday learning about his #composting system for vegetable production as part of the #FeedtheSoil project.
Julia and Isi checked the temperature (up to 58°C) and took some samples for nutrient and biological analysis.

This year, the compost pile gave us two watermelon vines. We enjoyed two sweet watermelons without fussing over them. Who else is daydreaming about Spring? #reducereuserecyle #feedthesoil #reduceyourcarbonfootprint
