Vermicomposting offers a multitude of benefits across various aspects of agriculture, gardening, and environmental sustainability. In this video, we discuss the different benefits and facts associated with vermicomposting and how vermicomposting is changing dynamics. ISP turns out an incredible 450–500 tonnes of vermicompost per month from 1000 beds (30 feet each). With the help of earthworms (Eisenia fetida) these tiny powerhouses work tirelessly and convert cow dung into nutrient-rich vermicompost in just 50 -55 days.    #SustainableFarming #Vermicompost #RuralDevelopment #Empowement #Initiatives #Earthworms #VermiBeds #CowDung

“Decreased production time & provided even flowering!” One of our greenhouse growers reported some wins with our photoperiodic lamp. Get the scoop: - TotalGrow Pure Flowering Lamps took OVER A WEEK off his production time, faster growth - The lamps helped even out flowering, so the gutter lines they usually see shading in actually flowered on schedule with the other non-shaded plants - For how little the lamps cost to run, the outcomes are well worth it! More on the Pure Flowering Lamps either on the website or in the shop.

My Square Metre have launched their Plant it Forward campaign, which allows local businesses to plant one square metre of wildflowers on behalf of a business of your choice, with that business then doing the same to pass it forward, and so on. The goal for the Plant it Forward campaign is to reach 2000 square metres of wildflowers through the support of local businesses. We are honoured to be the first company to receive the ‘wildflower baton’ and look forward to passing it on to another local business, together reducing carbon.

Why do farmers love Monarch Tractor? 🚜 The autonomous EV farming tool solves two priorities, explains co-founder Carlo Mondavi 🍇: 1. Energy independence. 🔌 With a 100% electric vehicle, farmers can use renewable energy, for instance, plugging in to an already-existing solar energy system ☀️ they might have on their property. 2. AI stack + autonomous driving. It's like a "big mowing Roomba that cuts the grass," Mondavi tells Forbes. Only this Roomba is a bit smarter... and helps reduce the amount of chemicals sprayed onto the soil. 🧪 Read more about how Oregon winemakers 🍷 are embracing new technology for a more balanced, productive farming environment. #winemaking #farming #climatetech #sustainable #growth https://lnkd.in/ecN4YFA8

Is your business premises being overrun by pesky weeds? Do you want to maintain a clean and tidy environment in an environmentally friendly way? Yes? Then let SAP Landscapes help you say goodbye to chemicals and hello to a greener tomorrow, like we did with our client (a multi-site retail and office portfolio) who was keen to find an alternative herbicide-free solution for weed control around their properties that would support their sustainability strategy. While manual and mechanical weed control methods offered a partial solution, we also needed an approach that was effective against both weed and moss with the fewest treatment cycles per year as possible, and that was not weather dependent (an important requirement in Ireland!).     💡 The Solution Following a demonstration and trial, our client decided to partner with us, using the market leading Foamstream technology we provide. Foamstream is an herbicide free solution for controlling weed, moss and algae, using a process that combines hot water and biodegradable foam made from natural plant oil and sugars. Given the energy required to heat the water, we utilised renewable HVO = Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil, as the fuel for the Foamstream and transport for the vehicle. A win win!   ❓ How does it work? The active ingredient in the Foamstream process is the heat in the hot water, the foam simply acts as an insulating blanket over the top of the hot water. Once it hits the vegetation and covers it, the foam creates a thermal layer and stops the heat from the hot water escaping to the atmosphere, trapping it and holding it directly on the plant for a short period of time. This allows the heat to penetrate the leaf’s waxy outer layer, killing the plant. The solution is applied at low pressure and can be used in all weathers, making it ideal for our climate. ⭐ The Results The herbicide-free weed control solution has proved to be highly effective, resulting in strong levels of weeds and moss control throughout the grounds and maintaining the cleanliness our client required.
