Take care of the soil and the soil will take care of you. This is one of the basics of regenerative and organic farming. To find out what the characteristics of the soil on Florago is, we took some samples and had them tested. See the results in the table (in Dutch but you probably can figure it out). To summarise the results:
- slightly acidic sandy soil
- high in iron and manganese
- low in other minerals
- low in organic matter and nitrogen
The test confirms the plans that we already had to improve soil quality and/or plant the right trees for the soil. More on that later.
