Farmers Guardian Highlights Innovative Manure Management with Bokashi on Mixed Farm
Innovative Farming Practices Spotlighted in Farmers Guardian
The Farmers Guardian recently featured James and Anna King, who are transforming manure management on their mixed farm near Buckingham. By turning pig muck into bokashi, a method that ferments organic matter to retain nutrients, the Kings are revolutionizing their farm's sustainability. This process, combined with digestate from a local anaerobic digester, serves as the main nutrient source for their arable crops. The article highlights how this innovative practice, which also minimizes odors and reduces dependency on external fertilizers, is enhancing crop yields and soil productivity. This feature underscores the Kings' commitment to sustainable farming, blending traditional methods with modern efficiency.
