Soil
Every organic farmer 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... But did you know that compost does much more than just feeding the plant? It is also a way of:
• Recycling waste products
• Improving the soil structure, providing better soil fertility
• Suppressing diseases, providing plants and soil with important nutrients
• Increasing pest tolerance
• Gradually bringing back the natural balance of the eco-system
• Reducing water usage through improvement of water holding capacity by 50%
• Creating employment and economic development
• Reducing (ground)water pollution
• 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.
