Soil
Every organic grower knows that the key to success is a excellent soil fertility! Unfortunately this does not always come naturally and therefore the soil needs to be stimulated and encouraged. The best way of doing this is using effective compost. So what exactly is compost and how is it made?
Good compost is essential for an organic kiwi
The secret behind our high quality compost lies in the methods used to develop it:controlled microbiological composting technology regularly monitors and – if required–corrects the temperature, humidity and carbon dioxide of the product. The composting process is furthermore stimulated by the application of carefully selected inoculants.
But did you know that compost does much more than just feeding the plant? It is also a way of:
1 Recycling waste products
2 Improving the soil structure, providing better soil fertility
3 Suppressing diseases, providing plants and soil with important nutrients
4 Increasing pest tolerance
5 Gradually bringing back the natural balance of the eco-system
6 Reducing water usage through improvement of water holding capacity by 50%
7 Creating employment and economic development
8 Reducing (ground)water pollution
9 Reducing carbon dioxide emissions, thus making a significant contribution to the protection of the environment, and more precisely to the threat of climate change we all have to face
