Pictured within the Worm tunnels in Living Green Compost As part of our Soil Science module the Fetac Level 5 Horticulture students from Donegal ETB were given a tour of the Living Green Compost manufacturing facility located in Quigleys Point in County Donegal. Living Green is a massive success story not only are they Irelands largest wormfarm but they also produce Irelands only certified organic compost, which is available in retailers the lengths and breadth of Ireland.
This visit was part of our focus on organic matter, and its role in soil health (after all it is UN Year of the Soil 2015). Organic Matter is hugely important within soil for many reasons - including Providing valuable micro nutrients to plants, making major nutrients available to plants, improving soil structure, preventing compaction, stabilising pH, creating a buffer capacity in the soil, reducing pets and disease in the garden and so much more! Living Green Compost contains all the above, but also Humic Acid...which plants just love!. If you get a chance pick up a bag and see the results for yourself.
