An interesting podcast from the "All the Dirt", podcast team, on healthy soil and how to create and maintain a healthy microbiologically active soil. 🎤 All the Dirt Podcast Ep.98... https://www.allthedirt.com.au/podcast...

🎤 In this week’s All The Dirt podcast Deryn talks to Ellen Walker from Earthwhile Australia about soil testing and soil life and how healthy soils, healthy food, and healthy people are all interrelated.
"To save the planet, we must save the soil."
"A healthy soil is vital for a sustainable life. It impacts all society. Indeed if you eat, you should be involved."
Major General The Honourable Michael Jeffery
Every year I seem to find a new way or approach to growing tomatoes that I’d like to trial. This year is no different.
Well worth a listen. Here is the link to the All The Dirt podcast where Steve Wood and Deryn Thorpe discuss what to do in the garden in spring including what veggies to plant and bulbs to buy for summer colour. https://www.allthedirt.com.au/podcast...
💩I pinched the following blurb from the Neutrog, Whoflungdung web page. http://www.neutrog.com.au/product_range/whoflungdung/
💩Whoflungdung is a biologically activated, nutrient-rich, weed-free, absorbent, super mulch!
It has been composted, inoculated with eNcase and filled with nutrients so that when added to soil it introduces a wide diversity of beneficial bacteria. These beneficial bacteria readily proliferate through the soil, acting as a barrier/deterrent to pathogenic bacteria, providing a safe environment for healthy plant growth. Whoflungdung aids in restricting and reducing the growth of weeds, and many users also happily report that blackbirds don’t like it.
Whoflungdung is absorbent, as it helps retain moisture and warmth in the garden, which improves nutrient uptake. It adds nutrients to the soil for both the beneficial bacteria and plants to feed on – significantly reducing, if not eliminating, the nitrogen draw-down issues that are associated with most other mulches.
Whoflungdung is available in compressed 20kg bales from good hardware and garden supply shops, and in bulk from select suppliers. Apply a uniform layer of Whoflungdung at 25mm to 100mm deep to cover soil, leaving 50mm to 100mm gap around the base of any plants, trees or shrubs. One compressed bale will cover between 4 – 8 m2.
