We started this week by putting our Preparation 500 horns in the ground. This is exciting to do on our farm - we put in about 1200 horns - filled with manure and covered with soil for the winter. The last picture is how the preparation comes out at the end - a vigourous beautiful live morsel that will be carefully mixed with water and sprayed onto paddocks to improve soil health with micro-organisims and fine root growth. Nic used a water driven sausage maker to fill the horns while the team placed them and covered them very carefully. It will be exciting to unveil the 500 in the Spring!
wow - I had heard of this but never seen - really intresting. Hope your trip setting off goes well and you all have a lovely time away.
ReplyDeletebeautifully colloidal 500 you got there in the last photo! Cam thinks our soil has changed heaps in the 5 or so years we have been using 500. That's a massive cow horn in the top photo! Here's to healthy soil.
