A damp walk around a customers farm today with thoughts of next steps, reflection on when we started advising here a year ago and the strides forward made already. Decided to take a spade today, because despite whatever soil samples tell us and however healthy a plant might look you can’t beat having a dig around having a look and crucially a sniff to tell what’s actually going on.
Due to corrective actions on these fields over the past year we now have aerated soils allowing water through them. Reduced horizontal fracturing and more vertical fracturing (a sign of better structure).Increased worm 🪱 activity and healthy root systems. We’re a long way from our intended destination, but all journeys start with a first step.
