Tools and Techniques

As far as possible we mimic natural systems and processes, whilst achieving a healthy crop. For this purpose we are developing a range of “tools” which fit the UK climate. Although listed below as different tools, they are all part of a holistic approach. They are tweaks and adjustments for individual situations.

It is important to get a base of skills and understanding of these tools so the farmer and grower has autonomy and understanding to make their own preparations, empowering the farmer and reaching a broader scale. We are not selling products off the shelf, we are happier to run courses to explain the principles. 

For instance biofertiliser, an anaerobic ferment is good for chelating minerals so they are more available to plants. However aerobic tea, made by bubbling air through microbes in solution, is great for building more biology into the system. Native microbes can be propagated aerobically like this, or through the Native Microbe preparation outlined below. Lastly, we can measure the integration of these techniques and their effect on soil structure using Chromatography. 

  • Fall Back Yoga Retreat

    27 - 29th October 2017

    This weekend allows time to retreat, time to prepare for hibernation and slowing down - autumn, a time to prepare, ready for the hibernation of winter.

    The yoga will be strengthening for your core beliefs and trusting in what you need, while also nurturing that down time and desire to fall back in winter. With delicious vegetarian meals and massage (at a small extra cost) as always this time for you should come easy - with the added extra perks of afternoon tea and a hot tub! The wonderful food, yoga and therapy is all finished off nicely with sound therapy, as lucy brings her amazing singing bowls to nurture the body even further after a days yoga.

    Sophie has taught for over 7 years, combined with her massage work she brings a strong anatomical element to her class. She teaches Hatha yoga, with some flowing elements, allowing time for release and strength and a new love for yoga nidra helps that relaxation flow easily.
