Supporting information on our composting project. I carried out a baseline analysis of soil from one of our fields then applied over a year a combination of compost and compost extracts. We’re now in the correct succession stage to grow row crops. Looking forward to yield results

Mind continued to be blown by the utter brilliance of arable farms in Norfolk today.
Never seen compost like it.
