-Mucks & Magic – A focus on organic matter, manure & compost
Thanks to Kerchesters farm we are delighted to introduce the 2nd of or borders nutrient network farm meetings.
We were joined by Audrey Litterick, director of Earthcare Technical who has over 25 years’ experience as a crop and environmental scientist and for the last 12 years has specialised in composting and the use of organic materials in agriculture.
The aims of this group webinar were:
– To understand the importance of organic matter.
– To understand the value of composted material as a fertiliser & soil conditioner.
– To assess the pros & cons of on farm produced compost.
– We will also be looked at the recent Kerchesters soil health test results.
