Agriculture & Food Security
Howard Higgins compost is applied as yearly minimal dressing to agricultural land that has been suitably prepared. At planting time the same optimum highly nitrogenuous fertiliser is applied at specific rates according to crop.
Top dressings are applied as required. Watering and irrigation is greatly reduced due to the "Zero Till" system advocated by New Directions Foundation (NDF).
Planting time and systems should be adhered to as strictly as possible for best result.
