[QUOTE="parker, post: 7355824, member: 1936"] I have been using biology for 8 years now, carrying out my own trials to obtain the results needed to progress into the position I am in now. This is a systems approach, if you want a quick fix stick to the can, but you are only putting a band aid on to hide the real problem. Soil health being at the heart of the system, you cannot run before you can walk! There are a number of companies offering advice on biology I just happen to work well with Mike Harrington and Nick from Edaphos, as they have similar passion to me for the use of Biology. Most of the Biology Trials are being done in the wrong circumstances with no real aim, as far as i can tell and obviously giving poor or no results. I feel that there are a lot of products out there now being sold by people who don't understand the bigger picture of what is needed and what can be achieved, so [USER=154929]@J_Barty_J[/USER] if this is something you are interested I am happy to chat further if you would like to dm me or make sure you get the right advice, as farming with biology is a whole new way of farming which a chemical agronomist will not understand imo unless there is a real passion there (which often there isn't as there is not much money to be made) as [USER=1233]@Simon Chiles[/USER] says you do have understand what you are doing in order to be able to use biology properly to get the right results.
