Organic matter – why is it important?

Organic matter, why is it important, what benefits does it bring to the soil? In this podcast we discuss organic matter, from what it is, to the benefits that can be gained from improving the quantity in your soil. With Zack Reilly from Scottish Agronomy and Wull Dryburgh from SEPA the podcast discusses the technical break down of soil to the interaction with land managers who have spent years dedicated to improving their soil.

The conversation then turns to soil organic carbon and what that actually means, and what land managers need to know.
