Intensive Soil Health Program
Posted on 19 August, 2022 by Micheal Alexander
Green Food Australia offers growers the opportunity to participate in an intensive soil health program utilising the technologies pioneered by VRM Biologik®. As part of this approach, we have developed a simple soil building program for intensive growing circumstances, including specialty crop growers, greenhouses, lifestyle blocks and hobby farms, that delivers:
A reduced need for fertilisers, pesticides, fungicides and herbicides;
A return to sustainable growing processes, using natural formulations and processes;
Enhanced yields and nutrient density in produce; and
Improvement over time in soil condition, contributing to total ecosystem balance.
The program aims to catalyse important reactions in your soil that are responsible for capturing solar energy and using it to mobilise and accumulate nutrients from both soil and atmosphere.Ultimately these nutrients are stored as humus, the element which defines healthy fertile soil. An important by-product of this process is biological hydrosynthesis – the manufacture of water – which result in a net overall improvement in soil moisture retention. Food waste for healthy soil
The program commences with the supply of the two key catalysts HumiSoil® and XLR8® Bio. For those farmers familiar with composting and vermiculture, we teach you use any existing biomass on your property or locally to create your own agricultural input. Locally sourced organic materials are the ideal media in which to incubate the reactions you need. We are specifically targeting stimulation and regeneration of your local biome.
