We will be starting chemical free soil and plant care workshops at the worm farm soon.
You can stay informed on our Instagram account.
We can help you to more consistent healthy yields
Step 1- Test your own soil (download above)
Step 2- Create your soil plan using our guide above (Contact us)
Step 3- Start composting x 2 (Let’s find out what suits you best)
Step 4- If required! (Analysis and Consultation)
Healthy terrestrial soils are loaded with beneficial microorganisms that improve and maintain soil structure, moisture and plant available nutrients. The Soil Food Web Lab service assess the populations and diversity of organisms in your soil. Cost is $165 per sample. These tests can give you an accurate overview of your soil health, which leads you to create a suitable plan for your land guiding you to optimal soil fertility. We also recommend Microbelabs for all other soil analysis. Follow the link to choose the appropriate test for yourself. Please contact us to discuss any further details and or questions you have.
Creating a suitable plan for your soils long term health must include a groundwater strategy that kick-starts the water cycle, the catalyst for all other necessary cycles for healthy living soil.
We can assist you to adopt land management techniques and implement your plans to ensure all the soil biology survive to feed your plants for years to come. This provides a constant supply of plant available nutrients in balance and suppresses weed growth. Adding organic matter is a ongoing process as it gets decomposed. Cut grass, whether from mowing or livestock needs to be returned to the system to maintain balance.
Start doing more of your own research! Read through the soil research references above which can give you the knowledge base to make better decisions! Some great books on this subject are, Teaming With Microbes by Jeff Lowenfels and Wayne Lewis. Mycorrhizal Planet by Michael Phillips and Entangled Life by Merlin Sheldrake. We have many references and research material to biological management we can supply you. Contact us any time and enjoy your journey!
