Soil Health Field Day

“The things that create good soil structure are plant roots and microbiology. The value of compost is to provide a food source for microbes. So like the native forests we want to put natural organic matter back onto the surface of the plants. Compost does the same job in a commercial situation.” 

“Vine health starts in the soil. We partner with Azwood to provide compost spreading solutions to the Marlborough region and will be demonstrating at this years soil health field day."

“We're deeply invested in aligning our values with tangible actions that contribute to a circular economy. By collaborating, sharing knowledge, and implementing innovative solutions, we can make significant strides towards a more sustainable future for the horticulture industry"

“BioGro's mission is to enable a sustainable and ethical future for producers and consumers.

The BioGro logo on an organic product is an assurance that it is genuine and that every input used in the production of organic products has been rigorously assessed, tested and controlled to align with organic values and integrity.”

“The process of making compost has been around for a long time. But what we have been able to do in this modern age is add some science to the process. We can manipulate the nutrients, carbon, and nitrogen to make different compost for every grower’s needs. The whole idea of manufacturing compost is to neutralise the smells and kill all the weeds so when it goes out to our customers it’s good quality free-flowing compost.”

“Grape marc compost is a good source of vineyard soil amendment with nutrients and organic matter, providing a robust foundation for the vines to flourish and bear good quality fruits.”
