– Pionneering and self fertilizing plants to sustain mycorhizes and bacteries to restart life in a soil :
Once sustainable water supply and soil components are identified, a synergy is created betwin pioneering plants and elements of the soil web grown in lab. At each step of the process, botanics allows us to choose plants of economic interest.
– A territory planned as a Whole, according to Keylines : water management, organic matter & clay accumulation, erosion control.
– A vegetal cover to create a living soil in depth : progressively recreate exchanges between surface and underground. Each actor of the soil food web plays here an important part. Bacteria are here main interface for distributing and collecting water with the ground water; mycelia are also great help to avoid salt excess produced by irrigation. Such a fragile system can be distroyed by agricultural practices such as tilling and the use of chemicals.
Restore a soil worn out by chemicals and agricultural practices :
– Sustainable decompacter : PA Yeoman’s Actisol plough allows us to decompact the soil without breaking its’ food web. Phytosociology as well as complementary rooting plants for soil de-compaction are then used on over-grazed, over trodden or tilled soil.
– remnant polluants : SOS SOiL designs inoculated substrata to remediate and digest pollution of hydrocarbons, PCBs, organo-phosphorus or organo-chlorides to turn them into natural fertilizers easily absorbed by plants, allowing the genuine biodiversity to come back.
– Local fertilizer : green and BRF (rameal chipped wood) associated with biodynamic principles are produced localy and on the farm.
These sustainable protocoles are designed to act as protection against climate change as well as against the danger of salinisation brought by irrigation and the use of chemical fertilizers.
