Hi Everyone,

Welcome back to Episode 13 of Series 3 of the “How To Do It” video series.

This week, we explore a profoundly powerful process that can dramatically change your soil, your crop outcomes, and your bottom line.

Imagine a simple, natural process that can recycle waste, build humus, boost beneficial microbes, buffer against drought, improve nutrient uptake, and lift the health and resilience of your farm ecosystem. It sounds a little too good to be true, but this process is both ancient and essential. I’m talking, of course, about composting.

There’s compost, and then there’s compost with purpose – the kind that aligns with the Nutrition Farming® approach by integrating minerals, microbes, and humus into every shovelful.

In this episode, we discuss the key factors that drive composting success – from the ideal carbon-to-nitrogen ratio, to the importance of oxygen management and the use of microbial inoculums to fast-track decomposition. We talk about compost teas and extracts, their application, and how to produce microbially-rich liquid gold from a humble pile of organic matter.

Perhaps you're wondering, why compost at all when you can buy inputs off the shelf? Well, compost offers something unique. It creates structure, supports water retention, buffers extremes, and delivers a diverse workforce of microbial allies to every plant root. That’s a benefit that’s hard to bottle.

And if you're farming in dry conditions or facing depleted soils, this episode is particularly relevant. You’ll learn how quality compost can become a central player in building resilience and profitability in even the most challenging environments.

So let’s return to the roots – quite literally – and rediscover this age-old, microbially-powered tool for abundance.

Wishing you a compost-rich season and a fulfilling Nutrition Farming® journey!

Warm regards,

Graeme Sait
