I make living compost and vermicast to improve soil health in Ireland. Soil is the largest carbon sink on the planet.
No matter what innovations we come up with if we lose our top soil we lose the fight to survive as a species. Topsoil is erroding at a second per acre. It's just blowing away and turning into desert. We must come together and act now.

My roses were covered in aphids this morning so I sprayed them with my vermicast extract.
Picture 1 was at 9:50 this morning
Picture 2 was at 13:38
Great results

Sneaky little guy waits till I pull off the tarp covering the #vermicast and then tucks into my worms.

So blessed to get to take the e-bike out for a ride today. The rain has stayed away and the sun made an appearance.

@fedexeurope.bsky.social like what are you playing at, the tracker number said my parcel would be with me yesterday, then this morning it said today and now it's tomorrow. What an absolute joke of a company

I find birthdays surreal but here's to another trip around the sun!

@therookieabc.bsky.social please tell me why you couldn't use an Irish actor with a Northern Irish accent instead of some fiddle di di accent. Rayne Bidders attempt at an Irish accent was just painful.

Soil can be the most effective way to draw down carbon from the atmosphere

Can Soil Help Combat Climate Change?
Soil naturally absorbs a huge amount of carbon. Some scientists think we can use it to our advantage in the fight against global warming.

Mycobacterium vaccae is a soil bacteria that triggers the activation of serotonin in the brain. So get outside and get your hands into soil or lick a farmer because they have much higher levels of bacteria living on them. Whatever you're into!!!! 😜

One of the most important scientific breakthroughs in soil science was the discovery of glomalin in 1996 and how man made chemical nitrogen fertiliser was destroying it.

I see Irish politicians campaigning with promises to the agricultural sector and farmers that the #nitrate derogation won't be lifted. They are promising that they will ensure water quality but not one of them speaks about soil health and the damage spreading slurry doess to the soil food web.

All the bacteria in soil weighs 35 times heavier than all the humans alive on earth. #savesoil

On this site I am going to be promoting living soil as the number one way to combat the climate crisis. We have to return the systems the planet uses to scrub out greenhouse gases. We can't wait for big oil or big fashion or big agriculture to change. We have to fight for the planet.

Saturday morning is waste coffee grounds collection time. I collect half a tonne every week. This valuable "waste" is the backbone of my living #compost & #vermicast

France has pulled out of the #cop29 due to tensions with Azerbaijan. France is the only government to put real solutions on the climate table 4 per 1000 back in 2015
