🌱 Microbes to Money

Thinking about improving your soil health? Then this is a day you won’t want to miss! Mulbarton Compost, in partnership with the Limestone Coast Landscape Board and through the 2025–27 Limestone Coast Climate-Smart Landscape Grants, invites you to join us for the second Field Day exploring the power of compost and biochar in improving soil productivity.

 

This trial project demonstrates how targeted soil amendments — such as compost and biochar — combined with multi-species plantings and controlled grazing, can boost soil carbon, improve nutrient and water retention, and strengthen overall soil health.

​

🌾 What You’ll See

Experience the trial firsthand across 10 adjacent plots, where a multi-species blend has been sown following a terminal cereal crop. Each plot features varying applications of custom compost and biochar blends, applied in 2025 with a  SoilKee Renovator, a cutting-edge tool for soil key technique.

​

This hands-on project gives local farmers and land managers the chance to:

• Observe real-world results on soil health, carbon levels, and crop performance.

• Learn from scientific soil testing data and on-ground results.

• See how regenerative practices can be applied on land just like yours.

 

By bringing the community together, this initiative aims to share practical insights, encourage collaboration, and inspire the next generation of climate-smart farming across the Limestone Coast.
