Episode: 1
Presenter: Trevor Cochrane
Air Date: 2nd March 2024

Trevor gets down and dirty, teaching us how a healthy soil is the key to success with gardens.

• Autumn provides an excellent opportunity for robust vegetable growth over the next 90 to 120 days in milder conditions, from leafy green salads to substantial crucifers and solanums like eggplants and late-season tomatoes, a diverse range of vegetables can thrive during this season.
• Soil health is fundamental to successful gardening, yet after a productive growing season, the soil becomes depleted of vital minerals, nutrients, and soil microbes which are crucial for strong, healthy plant growth.

• Adding calcium through garden lime or alternatives like gypsum or dolomite is vital for preventing issues such as blossom end rot on tomatoes and small melon growth.

• Soil microbes play a pivotal role in transforming added minerals into a plant-friendly, soluble form, so revitalizing depleted soils with organic matter such as fully matured manure or well-composted material from the compost bin, will enhance microbial populations.
• Troforte M technology is a revolutionary approach which focuses on feeding the soil, allowing a healthy soil to nourish plant roots, reducing fertilizer usage by up to 90%, improving soil carbon levels, and yielding larger, superior crops.
