Today the first lecture with Peter Vanhoof and Tuur Vandeweyer at Van den Borne potatoes. Good discussions about the value of slurry. How to make the manure better/worse, how to apply best to get the maximum out of it? What unexpected things do we see in practice that no one thinks can be done? Yes, surprisingly little fertilizer so....

On Feb. 22, the house was packed at Van den Borne potatoes where more than 3 pillars of our food supply (aka farmers) came to hear a different take on soil and fertilization. Peter Vanhoof was on form, we are used to that, and the audience was well along. Only on the value of slurry was there still a slight difference of opinion between livestock and arable farmers.The next step is for participants to take the bull by the horns and work on OWN land.

There is government funding for guidance on trials by soil coaches. Those who want to get started themselves with manure improvement, soil life stimulation, trace elements, compost tea, other soil tillage ... can contact us at info@napagro.eu
