Biological fertilisers 3: Insights and benefits

Описание: Farmers Brian and Carol Fitzpatrick and David Hardwick from Soil Land Food tells us more about biological fertilisers, and how and why to use them.

Biological inputs can be an effective tool to start building your soil health and contribute to long-term farm sustainability. This video is part of Soils for Life's Biological Inputs and Fertilisers Practice Guide, available in full here: https://soilsforlife.org.au/farming-p...

Using biological inputs and fertilisers can promote nutrient cycling, add organic matter and support beneficial microbial activity, all of which can help build healthy soils and resilient crops.

This Biological Inputs and Fertilisers Practice Guide covers the benefits of biological inputs, decisions on what types of products to use, application methods, complementary practices and what to look for to know if your biological inputs are effective. Like all practices, it must be considered in the unique context of each farm.

The guide is part of a series of practice guides that can be used in your regenerative cropping toolset. Find the series here: https://soilsforlife.org.au/cropping-...
