Field Preparation
Deep Soil Inversion
The technique of deep soil inversion involves turning the nutrient-rich topsoil deep into the soil profile. The nutrient-poor subsoil, brought to the surface, provides preferred conditions for establishing wildflowers, whilst the soil inversion encourages deeper tree roots, which in turn lead to better growth and resilience.
In April and May 2023, the field was power harrowed and then rolled by local farmers.
