Once you have gathered all the different types of beneficial microorganisms you need, from your local area, the next step is to increase their numbers so they can be used to inoculate the soil.
In this webinar, we’ll be taking a deep dive into the aerobic composting method that Dr. Elaine Ingham has developed over the last 4 decades. During this process, beneficial microbes flourish and multiply, while pathogens are either killed or forced to go dormant.
Getting the recipe right for your compost is critical, and we’ll be looking at how this can be achieved. We closely monitor and control temperature, moisture and aeration levels throughout the process. After the composting process is complete, the microscope is used to assess the biology and then certain tweaks can be made to ensure that the balance between the 4 major groups of microorganisms is right, before the inoculant is applied to the soil.
