Hi Everyone,

Welcome to Episode 16 of Series 3 of the “How To Do It” video series.

This week, I’m back in the virtual paddock with our favourite sugarcane growers, continuing a deep-dive consultation that showcases just how much is possible when you combine biological principles with mineral mastery.

Sugarcane is a crop with massive potential, but it’s also one where mistakes in nutrition or mismanagement of soil life can really cost you. In this episode, we dig even deeper into the secrets of success – from transforming your composting practices, to unlocking powerful synergies between phosphorus, calcium, and potassium.

Did you know that a well-crafted compost, with the right biology, can be a game changer for residue breakdown and long-term soil fertility? We explore how you can create this tool on-farm, and the microbe allies that will help you do it faster and more effectively.

I also share some eye-opening insights into leaf diagnostics and what your cane crop might be silently screaming at you. When was the last time you checked for magnesium, boron, or silica? These silent partners can drive yield and resilience – if you know how to interpret the signs.

And then there’s the foliar finesse – a window into how humble inputs like kelp, molasses, and soft rock phosphate can do so much more when combined correctly and supported with humic and fulvic acid.

This is one of those episodes where the practical meets the profound – an inspiring look at how a committed grower is turning knowledge into real results.

Wishing you all great joy and prosperity on your Nutrition Farming® journey. Let’s get into it!

Warm regards,

Certificate in Nutrition Farming

Our next iconic, five-day Certificate in Nutrition Farming® course is scheduled for Monday 27th - 31st October 2025.

Our last course was attended by growers and consultants from six countries. It was a wonderful learning opportunity where attendees enjoyed a wealth of education and inspiration from both our presenters and their fellow attendees.
