As part of our Third year Soil Science subject, four Science and Agriculture students, Jess, Jono, Polly and Georgia, are undertaking an investigation into how worm leachate compares to commercial liquid fertilisers.
We have found that there is a clear lack of scientific research into the topic, and are going to carry out research in the following areas:
- Lettuce and Soybeans 30 day pot trial
- Lab Chemical analysis on Fertilisers (Pea, Rockmelon and mixed leachate) , Aquasol, Seasol
- Plating of the leachate to identify any microbial activity present
- Survey
- Educational awareness (Client Requirement) – Blog and Video
More posts to come!
