Healthy Soil – Healthy Biosphere
Healthy soils are foundational for a healthy ecosystem
Good soil structure is critical for proper water retention and drainage, preventing erosion and minimising runoff. Moreover, healthy soil acts as a carbon sink, helping to mitigate climate change by storing carbon dioxide.
Recognising its pivotal role in food production and environmental health, the conservation and restoration of healthy soil has become a critical focus in Gympie Landcare’s efforts to promote a more sustainable and resilient planet.
How Gympie Landcare is Contributing to Improving our Soil Health
Recognising its pivotal role in food production and environmental health, the conservation and restoration of healthy soil has become a critical focus in Gympie Landcare’s efforts to promote a healthy and self-sustaining biosphere. We aim to do so through soil biology products, education and soil microbiology testing.
Soil Biology Products
Worms, worms farms, vermi-compost and worm-tea
Worms are the tiny yet mighty champions of soil health.
A worm farm is a sustainable, efficient, and environmentally conscious way to reduce waste, produce nutrient-rich compost, and support healthy gardens.
We also hold worm farm workshops and a child-friendly worm education session, suitable for schools.
