Total microbial biomass was good. Biomasses of other key desirable microbial groups ranged from good, to fair in the case of Mycorrhizal fungi. VAM fungi require a living plant host to survive, so their presence in this compost is a plus. Protozoa often appear after composts have aged for some time, and their presence here together with the Maturity indicator show that this compost is mature. True anaerobes were elevated, which may indicate lack of aeration. The Fungi to Bacteria ratio was a slightly elevated due to higher fungi compared to bacteria, but this may be advantageous if the aim was to produce a fungi-dominated compost. Microbial diversity was fair to good. These results indicate that this compost would be a useful amendment, particularly to soils with low fungi. Humic substances enhance the uptake of major plant nutrients and also help plants tap into residual nutrients that are bound up in soils, reducing fertiliser costs.

KEY BENEFITS:

  • Maximises soil moisture retention
  • Supplies valuable trace elements
  • Enhanced soil carbon levels
  • Lasts for between three to five years
