Join Agricology and OPER8 for a practical afternoon exploring living mulches, intercropping, and soil health at the Fring Estate🧑‍🌾. There will be expert insights from Matt England and Ian Robertson (Sustainable Soil Management), and a social BBQ to finish 🍺 . tinyurl.com/4fsy6nmu

Expect to see some of this at the Agricology farm walk. May be somewhat wilted by 5th June! ☀️ but still plenty to talk about. Places are limited so sign up now.

Interesting seeing #organic winter oats under an oak tree thrive vs in field suffering massively from the #drought25. Years of leaf litter and shade must be helping - does make me wonder about #agroforestry 🌾 🌳 🌾

Just 2 weeks to go until this Agricology/ OPER8 event exploring everything living mulches and soil health 🐛 at the Fring Estate with Matt England & Ian Robertson Sustainable Soil Management. Expect an afternoon full of insights - social BBQ to finish🍻. 🎟️ ow.ly/vQVE50VXP8P

70% of UK land is farmed. If we want nature to recover, this is where it happens. Farmers like James Rebanks are already doing it – farming with wildlife, not against it. But without proper funding, we risk losing it all. Rachel Reeves: increase funding, grow our future.

Thanks Paul great to host you and everyone yesterday, with Agricology we were lucky to dodge the showers! A few alterations to the subsoiler are coming thanks to Sustainable Soil Management.

Min-tilled winter linseed attempt has turned into an interesting bi-crop experiment. Volunteer oats looking very healthy 🌾 . Will see how it compares with the nice clean ploughed field next door…#organicfarming #intercropping

Living mulch looking much better after some good rain, panicle emergence was 2 weeks behind the mono-crop - pictures today vs 27th May. Oats a bit short for combining! #livingmulch #organicfarming

📽️Today we're back at the Fring Estate in Norfolk with Matt England, RuralPod Media and Down to Earth Media, to wrap up the filming of our #LivingMulches video🌾. The finished video will be launching SOON - stay tuned for updates (you won't want to miss this one!) 👀

Real mixed bag on #organic winter linseed this year over 3 fields 1)how I want it to look 2)weedy mess 3) min till trial, loads of oat volunteers but could make an decent accidental Bi-crop

Cutting the #organic living mulch trial yesterday. Definitely a yield penalty again, but not as bad as I was expecting considering the total lack of moisture. ☘️ just about hanging in there

📹 🚀Just launched! Our brand new #LivingMulches ‘How-To’ video with Matt England is live! 🌿 Watch now + stay tuned for bonus clips & exclusive content over the next 2 weeks 👀 🎬 ow.ly/ZShv50Wr233 Huge thanks to RuralPod Media and Down to Earth Media. OPER8

🌱 Curious about #LivingMulches? 3 reasons to try them: ✅ Boost soil health & biodiversity ✅ Cut inputs like N fertiliser & herbicides ✅ Build long-term resilience in your rotation 🎥 Watch our new ‘how-to’ video to find out more! 👉 ow.ly/2IIH50WrGnE @M3ngland 📸

Sunset cutting #organic rye yesterday. Great crop for our soils and drought conditions. Just wish we could grow more of it…🌾

2 weeks post harvest and the #livingmulch hasn’t grown back that fast despite the rain. We saw this last year and suggests the ☘️ loses a serious amount of vigour by yr3. Could be easier to establish a cereal in this if we were retaining. Check out Agricology guide for more
