About the event
Bronagh's farm boosts biodiversity through practical sustainable farming. Adaptive multi-paddock grazing is practised with longer rest and recovery times between grazing periods alongside sowing diverse seeds and encouraging the native seed bank to flourish to keep the soils healthy.
She creates habitats by planting trees, establishing an orchard, carefully managing hedgerows and operating an apiary on the farm this helps increase set setting of clovers and pollinate the orchard and many trees.
The farm uses no chemicals, preferring to use natural soil amendments, with some made on farm and some from the on-farm wormery. To cut down on air pollution, she treats slurry biologically to reduce ammonia and manages farmyard manure to make a more compost like product. A developing pond will add new wetland space, making the farm a great mix of habitats for wildlife.
