This is an example of biologic farming, from the Soil Food Web Institute, based upon one of Dr. Elaine Ingham’s clients in Australia.
Soil Foodweb is an international soil biology group providing laboratory soil testing and soil biology consultancy services. It was founded by Dr Elaine Ingham, a leading international soil microbiologist. The systems developed by Dr Ingham have been designed to analyze the microbiology present in soil samples and to develop appropriate responses to achieve desired levels and balances of soil microbiology.
The farmer used Robust Compost which hit the Soil Food Web criteria for soil microbe biome components along three measures:
- Amount of Life
- Seven Types of Life
- Wild-Sourced Biodiversity within Each Life Form
SymSoil® RC achieves the same biological measures and criteria and felt this was a relevant case study in biological farming. SymSoil manufactures and sells Robust Compost, offers on-farm composting in Solano, Napa, Sonoma and Yolo counties of California and offers biological soil assessments through our lab in Fairfield, California.
