What happens here

The farmer explains how to improve soil structure and nutrient cycling by applying biomass, such as sawdust and wood chips, to pastures. While biomass initially consumes nitrogen during decomposition, this effect is counteracted by spraying the pastures with microbial inoculants (e.g., 'Super Soil'). These inoculants introduce beneficial bacteria to the soil and root systems, accelerating the decomposition of the biomass and enhancing nitrogen fixation, leading to richer and healthier soil over time.

Goal: Build soil organic matter and nutrient cycling through biomass and beneficial microbes.

Tools and materials

  • Manure Spreader — Spreading sawdust and wood chips
  • Spray equipment — Applying microbial inoculants
  • Tractor — Spreading wood chips and pulling the manure spreader
  • Microbial inoculants Super Soil — Fixing bacteria and nitrogen to the soil
  • Sawdust N/A — Biomass addition to the soil
  • Wood chips N/A — Biomass addition to the soil
