🪱 When Compost Goes Wrong: Lessons in Regenerative Soil Management for UK Gardeners
Excerpt: When Compost Goes Wrong – Lessons in Regenerative Soil Management
Not all compost is created equal. Across the UK, gardeners and growers are discovering that even well-made compost can sometimes harm rather than heal. Contamination from persistent herbicides, or an imbalance in soil biology, can undo months of work.
At Agriton UK, we explore how regenerative practices — from Bokashi fermentation and EM Technology to balanced mineral nutrition — can help you rebuild soil health naturally. Learn how facultative microbes, fungi, and clean inputs work together to turn waste into fertility and restore the living ecosystem beneath your feet.
Grow better, naturally — with soil that regenerates itself season after season.
What is the German-Inspired Flächenrotte (Surface Decomposition) Process in Gardening?
Flächenrotte, or surface decomposition, is a German-inspired method that gardeners and allotment growers are now adopting to improve soil health. By chopping green material, adding beneficial microbes like EM, and lightly mixing it into the topsoil, this process quickly turns fresh plant matter into humus without bad smells or pest problems. In just a few weeks, it creates crumbly, fertile soil that supports stronger, healthier plants.
