Soil sampling after a successful harvest on the 6th of September at my rotations trial site in Arklow, Co. Wicklow investigating a range of bio-based fertilisers #teagasc #irishresearch #agriculture
A great day for the countryside. Glad for a bit of nice snap of harvest weather. 1530 getting it done again this year, somewhere around her 50th harvest.

Recent meeting and visit of UCD collaborators in @Multi4More to our #multi4more field site. We’re testing the relative effects of plant diversity and nitrogen fertiliser application on yield. One harvest remaining for first full year of data! 😁
