Dorset organic dairy farmer, Tom Gregory wanted to investigate the potential for utilising farm yard manure to create bio-complete compost in his farming system. He needed to learn more about how to create healthy soils containing worms, fungi and microbes, and how to practically apply this knowledge to increasing production of nutrient dense food on his farm.
Efficiently functioning soils store carbon and water which helps in extreme climate events such as drought or heavy rainfall. They help limit sediment run off into rivers and streams and reduce the need for farmers to rely on expensive artificial fertilisers, hence supporting nature-friendly farming businesses.
Tom, a tenant farmer, approached the Farming in Protected Landscapes team for support in developing his own soil knowledge and skillset, purchase a compost turner to run trials using farm yard manure and other materials, and to run workshops to share his experience.
