[QUOTE="Jim Bullock, post: 845262, member: 97"] I think that [USER=319]@Simon C[/USER] proved that the "compost part of the equation" worked when we visited his farm for the NTA meeting back in 2009(?). We saw one of his fields planted with winter rape (in a very difficult season-wet) which half was treated with compost half was not...the difference crop and no crop. I am sure Simon C has posted photos of it in the past. It proved that compost will bring back soil life and boost crop production. I had a visit form the late Guy Lafond from the Indian Head research centre in the early 2000's and he had been looking at compost tea's as a part of the no-till equation but he warned that you need to get the right "starter" or you could end up applying something that could harm your crop or worse still make it toxic. Compost s very much part of our system (when I can get my hands on the right stuff!) but as yet I cannot quite get my head around compost teas. [/QUOTE]
