Returning nutrients back to the land
Last week we have been applying liquid digestate to crops of wheat and grass. Digestate is a nutrient-rich by-product from the anaerobic digestion process and provides valuable nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium to growing crops. By using it, we can reduce our reliance on expensive artificial fertilisers while making the most of nutrients already produced within the farming system.
As well as feeding the crop, digestate also helps improve soil structure and increase organic matter, supporting healthier soils and more productive land over time.
