🌱 A Great Morning Talking All Things Soil! 🌱

On Wednesday, 14 October, we welcomed attendees to Mulbarton Compost for our Soil Enhancement for Grazing Field Day Trial, exploring how compost, biochar and regenerative farming practices can improve soil health, productivity and long-term sustainability.

We were fortunate to hear from three fantastic presenters:

🌿 Chris Ellery – Soil Food Web, who shared insights into the fascinating world of soil biology and the importance of healthy, living soils. Soil Foodweb Institute

🌱 Phil Giles – Mulbarton Compost, who discussed the role of compost and biochar in improving soil health and supporting productive agricultural landscapes.

🚜 Michael Zerk – Mulbarton Compost, who shared practical insights into the project and its on-ground application.

🌾 Edel Stoner – Landscape SA Limestone Coast, who provided valuable insights into current and future projects with the Landscape Board.

The morning provided a great opportunity to bring together local growers, industry representatives and those passionate about improving our soils, with plenty of valuable discussion and knowledge sharing.

A big thank you to everyone who joined us, our presenters for sharing their expertise, and the Limestone Coast Landscape Board for their ongoing support.

And of course, there's no better way to start a field day than with a BBQ breakfast! ☕🥓

A big order for one of our local customers. We spread compost at different rates across multiple blocks to give this customer the best out of their vines.

What sets Mulbarton Organic Compost apart from the others? This machine is one of the many things that differentiate us from other compost producers. A compost turner (we call her Tina Turner) this machine mixes, aerates and adds water to our rows creating the best quality compost right here in the South east.
