Aussie Farmers face rising costs… and more…
Australian farmers are facing rising costs, climate change, and soil degradation — and pelletised compost could be a game-changer.
What is pelletised compost?
Pelletised compost is compost that has been processed into small, dry pellets. This process allows for easier handling, application, and storage compared to traditional loose compost. The pellets are typically seed-sized, making them ideal for use with airseeders in agriculture.
Made from organic materials and easier to apply than traditional compost, pelletised compost improves soil health, boosts crop yields, and reduces reliance on synthetic fertilisers.
In a recent article in Food Mag, discussing the trial of pelletised compost, Tim Mendham, a farmer based in Blayney, NSW said he is already seeing higher yields, healthier soils, and better profitability. A small change with a big impact, paving the way for a more sustainable future in agriculture.
