We carried out a Slake Test Demo at Norman and Michael Dunne's Farm as part of the Introduction to soils and biological agriculture course run by NOTS
It is a great visual demonstrating that farmers adopting certain biological, conservation, and regenerative farm practices can deliver on behalf of nature and consumers.
The test simply demonstrated the improvement in soil structure due to Norman and Michael integrating these farm practices.
This demo shows that improving soil health, water stable soil aggregates, earth worm activity, soil microbiology, nutrient holding capacity, and organic matter can help us better deal with high rainfall events and keep soil and nutrients out of our water courses
