“The Method”
• Compost
• 20 m³ per ha
• Mulching (Straw , Wood Chip)
• Covering of Compost
• Fertilizer (N)
• Stopped all chemical Fertilizer initially
• Top up N

“The spin off”
• Improved soil Health
• Microbial \ Fungal activity
• Water infiltration \ Aeration

“The spin off”
• Improved Tree Health
• Root Health and development
• Woolly Apple Aphid Control
• Reduced Mite control
• Nematode Population shift
• Stress Buffer
• Soil Health+Tree health=Stress Buffer
