Leaf moulding is a natural process of decomposing fallen leaves to create a valuable soil amendment. Unlike traditional composting, which involves actively managing organic materials to accelerate decomposition, leaf moulding relies on the slow breakdown of leaves by fungi, bacteria, and other microorganisms over time. Benefits of Leaf Moulding: 🌱Soil Enrichment: Leaf mould improves soil structure, enhances moisture retention, and promotes beneficial microbial activity, leading to healthier plants and increased yields. 🌱Organic Matter: By recycling fallen leaves, leaf moulding returns valuable organic matter to the soil, reducing the need for synthetic fertilisers and chemical amendments. 🌱Carbon Sequestration: Incorporating leaf mould into the soil helps sequester carbon, mitigating climate change by storing atmospheric carbon dioxide in the ground. 🌱Cost-Effective: Leaf moulding is a cost-effective and environmentally friendly way to improve soil quality and support sustainable gardening practices. 🌿💧 #JustTrees #TreeNursery #PlantingTrees #Deforestation #Green #SaveOurTrees #LandscapeDesign

The theme for this year's International Compost Awareness Week (#ICAW) is 'Nature's Climate Champion'! This is a very important point that should be highlighted. When you first think about #compost, it is easy to look only at its use as a #soil improver, whether that is to the #benefits of agricultural crops or horticulture/garden plants and flowers. However, delving deeper into the benefits of compost, it does so much more! 🌽 Choosing to use #organic, quality compost reduces the demand for resource intensive mineral #fertilisers 🌽 Applying compost to land not only help produce good quality, healthy crops and plants, but also enriches the soil with much needed nutrients as well as improving its water holding capacity, thereby making soil more #resilient to drought. 🌽Compost's feedstock is derived largely from #food #waste collected by local authorities from households and businesses. Without compost, this food waste would almost certainly find its way to #landfill or #incineration, meaning that it's organic content is wasted. #Composting allows for these materials to serve an environmentally beneficial purpose whilst also reducing the demand for environmentally damaging waste disposal #routes. 🌽The organic matter found in compost helps our soils absorb and store #carbon dioxide. This #sequestered carbon can remain in the soil for decades, potentially centuries, thus helping us to reduce our carbon #emissions! As the changing #climate continues to effect our soils, compost can provide significant environmental benefits that go beyond improving the productivity of our #agriculture. With the purpose of this week looking to raise awareness of the value of compost as 'Nature's Climate Champion', there's no time like to present to show how valuable compost is in moving towards a more sustainable future!

♻️ Compostable bags contribute significantly to waste reduction. Households using these bags divert 30% more organic material from landfills, turning waste into valuable compost. This not only reduces the burden on landfills but also lowers waste management costs and provides nutrient-rich compost for agriculture and gardening. Compostable bags are vital to achieving the Vic Government's objective of 80% diversion from landfill by 2030 and halving the volume of organic materials going to landfill by 2030. Discover how compostable bags are making a difference in our communities: https://lnkd.in/gXexJe-H Stand with us.

Coco-peat has a far lower ecological impact than peat HORTICERT shows in their study that transport emissions of coco-peat are relatively small, an argument often used by the peat lobby to fight against the introduction of peat alternatives. Coco-peat can be compressed by a factor of four before shipping, reducing its transport emissions. Other impacts can be minimised, think water use and labour conditions, in contrast to peat: fossil materials can never get rid of their gargantuan carbon emissions as they are in the fossil nature of the material. #peat #climatecrisis #openpitmining https://lnkd.in/eXFCdExh

Composting locally sourced materials (ingredients) in our farm is not merely a one time project but a common practice to make our farm sustainable. Most often farms only focus on plant health and development and forget about soil health. Long rainy season plus our practice of heavy irrigation toward flowering season contribute to our farms top soil erosion. It is only through regular and consistent use of compost can we replace the soil (and nutrients it carries) and ensure long term productivity of our crops. Find out how we do our Hot Composting in our farm. Thank you. We are AgriVibes... harvesting success stories one farm at a time. https://lnkd.in/gEjvatEj
