This striking visual shows the difference between sound land management and non-regenerative farmland. 

Compared with a similar extended rain situation faced by Sangwoodgoon earlier, the soil seems to have greater water absorption capacity.

Our grantee farmers are increasingly confident in managing this crowd-favourite crop. Tomatoes stand strong with no disease and barely any pest issues.

According to farmer Sze Chung, ‘seed treatment is like seasoning a dish’. Prior to germination, he coats the seeds in nutrient supplements with humic acid and various other minerals. He reported a significantly faster germination rate compared to zero treatment. The fennel pictured here took around one week to sprout – half the time taken for a non-treated seed.

Farmer Sze Chung is madly in love with mushroom substrate and its weed-suppressing effects. Napa cabbage is notorious for attracting pests. Farmer Sze Chung told us that regular application of bio-active plant nutrients helps increase resilience to stress and has seen a reduction in insect bites.

The Restore Fund has enabled Sangwoodgoon to extend its fermentation station, increasing production volumes for a more comprehensive application.

Beetroots stayed strong even after prolonged rainfall.
