What problem does the tool address?: This tool adresses the topic of nutrient efficieny in horticulture.
What solution does the tool offer?: On the Windacher vegetable farm, nutrients are incorporated into the soil via compost on the surface level, never into deeper layers. Martin Wöringshofer also explains the importance of being knowledgeable about different kinds of compost and finding the right degree of decomposition and structure as the compost should not be too coarse but also not too fine.
