Soil

Based on the technology of Ehrenfried Pfeiffer (1899 – 1961) Soil & More International developed a unique composting technology that helps to address the worlds’ biggest environmental and agricultural problems, such as soil degradation, climate change through increased carbon dioxide emissions, the excessive use of water and the increasing amount of waste.

The compost is made using unwanted and superfluous waste plant and animal material characteristic for the country where the product is being produced. The unique composting technology is UNFCCC (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change) approved and not only transforms this  ‘waste’ into high quality compost ready for use within 8-10 weeks, but also helps to avoid methane emissions.

1. Soil & More compost guarantees fruit and vegetable production of high quality whilst also:
2. Recycling waste products
3. Improving the soil structure, providing better soil fertility
4. Suppressing diseases, providing plants and soil with important nutrient
5. Increasing pest tolerance
6. Gradually bringing back the natural balance of the eco-system
7. Reducing water usage through improvement of water holding capacity by 50%
8. Creating employment and economic development
9. Reducing (ground)water pollution
10. Reducing carbon dioxide emissions, thus making a significant contribution to the protection of the environment.

The composting technology Soil & More developed tackles various challenges. Upon adding the unique Soil & More compost inoculants to an aerated, controlled microbial composting process, the different input materials (mainly farmyard waste such as greens, wood and manure) are decomposed and gradually transformed into a stable humus complex. This high quality compost product provides the plants with all required nutrients and micro-elements. Due to the special humus structure the water holding capacity of the soils increases up to 70% which is an important added value for growers in arid and semi-arid areas. Initiated through the inoculants, the final compost contains several millions of micro-organisms, a tightly knitted soil-food-web, creating a natural immune system for the plant, thus acting as natural predator against most known soil born diseases and other pathogens. This disease suppression is one of the outstanding unique selling points of Soil & More Compost. The secret behind the 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
