World Soil Day 2022
Mon 5 December 2022
Let’s celebrate #WorldSoilDay!
Did you know that there are more living organisms in a tablespoon of soil than people on Earth? Soil is a world made up of organisms, minerals, and organic components that provides food for humans and animals through plant growth.
This year, World Soil Day will focus on the importance of healthy soil and promote sustainable soil practices.
Soil is important for maintaining healthy ecosystems and human well-being. Soil nutrient loss is a major soil degradation process threatening nutrition. It is recognized as being among the most critical problems at a global level for food security and sustainability all around the globe.
As a company, we undergo regular testing on our soil. We work with the STRI to carry out regular independent scientific trials on our products.
We also work with Tim O’Hare Associates, a leading independent Soil Scientist, to ensure that our topsoil, Landscape20 meets the BS3882:2015 British Standard. As well as analysing our product, they are also measuring the amount of carbon that is held in our Landscape20. Typically, if Landscape20 is placed at a depth of 300mm across a hectare of land, it will hold 90 tonnes of carbon per hectare.
Recently, we have worked with Cranfield University to calculate the levels of microbial biomass in our 3 products: Landscape20, HortLoam and Sports&Turf.
