At IBP Farming, we work according to the Soil Food Web principles developed by Dr. Elaine Ingham. This approach recognises that plants actively manage the microbial community around their roots by supplying carbon through root exudates. The grower's role is to create the conditions where these beneficial organisms can thrive, and innocculate with biologically divers compost extract if needed.

Did You Know? Our compost can contain: 135 million to 1 billion bacteria per gram (135–1,000 µg biomass/g) 10,000 to 1,000,000 protozoa per gram. 100 to 4,000 beneficial nematodes per gram. 135–2000 µg fungal hyphae per gram. 300,000 to 10 million fungal spores per gram. Under favorable conditions: - Bacteria can double their population in approximately 30 minutes. Fungi and protozoa can increase tenfold within 24 hours. This is why high-quality compost and compost extract serve as powerful biological inoculants, introducing diverse and active microbial communities into the soil.
