Busy here @BoycefieldFarm.
Always a pleasure to see Billy’s proper trad mixed systems with modern regen interventions #Agroforestry #Tumbleweed
Especially Boycefields resilience to the increasingly shi💩 weather pressure. 👏 🌿🌳🍂🍄

Current thoughts @PotatoDaysUK
The potato industry needs to understand the difference between:
Degenerative
↓
Sustainable
↓
Regenerative
It’s not just about the principles it’s about the whole picture.
CE opportunity! ♻️

Fantastic evening on the farm on Friday Night. Gramps died on Wednesday night and 48 hours later the sky opened its doors the imagination.
I like to focus on the facts beneath my feet and within the soil, but sometimes it’s nice to look up at the sky once in a while and dream.

I have seen first hand impacts of livestock grazing on tired soils beneath temporal grasslands. Accelerating soil health and biological conditions. theguardian.com/commentisfre…

New study from @Nature journal warning about the implications and timely impatience of the distribution of the Gulf Stream. Essentially this would disrupt the already unpredictable nature of our local climate. For more: amp.theguardian.com/environm… nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Out at Three pools Farm today, sampling and looking at #soilhealth indicators.
Part of the Dulverton Trust, Exploring Livestock Emissions group.
Nothing like a bluebird morning. Apart from the totally parched soils.

Soil Aggregates: Aggregates are small clumps of soil particles, creating pore spaces for air and water movement. Factors like organic matter, soil microbes, and fungal hyphae help form and stabilize soil aggregates, improving soil structure and porosity.
