Ingredient 1 | 🪨 Clay minerals: For the physical part we have added fertile clay minerals, which provide the basis for an optimal soil structure. This means that water and minerals are retained better; This is because the clay particles are negatively charged and the minerals are positively charged, so they hold each other together.


Ingredient 2 | 🪱 Organic material: For the biological part we have added organic material with extra microbial life. Soil life makes minerals and trace elements available to plants. They exchange these for sugars, which the plants produce via photosynthesis.
In addition, soil life is the real accelerator of photosynthesis, the process by which plants absorb CO₂ from the atmosphere and store it where it is useful!


Ingredient 3 | 🧪 volcanic rock dust: For the chemical part we added volcanic rock dust. This contains more than 60 minerals and a high content of nutrients and trace elements. It consists of at least 52% silicon and is rich in trace elements such as boron, manganese and copper. Through the weathering process it also contributes to additional CO₂ absorption from the air.

Farmers store carbon in agricultural soils for the long term by using practices like cover cropping that promote biological activity underground. Cover crops foster diverse communities of nitrogen-fixing microbes (shown on the left). Using photosynthesis, the plants produce sugars, which enter the soil through the roots and feed the microbes. The excess sugars and the bodies of dead microbes attach to clay particles and soluble minerals to form stable, carbon-containing complexes called mineral-associated organic matter. In contrast, decaying plants and animals (shown on the right), form particulate organic matter. This type of organic matter breaks down more quickly and releases carbon, particularly when the ground is disturbed by tilling.

The soil equivalent of a faecal microbiome transplant and the effect of sprinkling rock dust are to both be tested at scale in tree-planting schemes to see if they can turbocharge the amount of carbon dioxide removed from the atmosphere.

“If you look at both basalt and the microbiome injection, these are both natural processes that would happen anyway, but take decades. We are just trying to accelerate these natural processes.”

To increase the amount of carbon dioxide that trees can remove from the atmosphere, a tree-planting scheme is testing whether the addition of soil microbes from established forests can improve growth

The main purpose is to spread awareness of the significance of bees and other pollinators for our survival. We must realise that simply proclaiming World Bee Day does not do much for bees and other pollinators; the main work aiming towards their preservation still needs to be undertaken and World Bee Day is an excellent opportunity in this regard.

Beekeepers and nature conservationists would like to ask everybody to help improve the conditions for bees, thus improving conditions for the survival of people. No major steps are needed; what counts is each and every action that facilitates the existence of bees.

As a bonus, it is un-𝗯𝗲𝗲-lievable beautiful
to watch them perform.

No Mow May

Join legions of gardeners and say “no” to the mow this May to help our bees, butterflies, wildlife and us!

Let it grow… let it groooow… 🌱🍀🌼🐝

De kennis over de bodem en bodemvruchtbaarheid ontwikkelt zich snel.

Eén van de belangrijkste nieuwe inzichten is dat sedimenten en mineralen, welke bepalend zijn voor de bodemvruchtbaarheid, langzaam verdwijnen of hun werking verliezen.

En de bodem heeft geen onuitputtelijke bron voor mineralen.; deze moeten dus weer toegevoegd worden.
