1a. Healthy relaxed root structure. 6-weeks of using compost tea This is a root structure of a cut-flower, which as can be seen is very relaxed. Summarizing that the roots could grow optimally while being able to penetrate the soil deeper. These were taken 6 weeks after transplanting using biological methods.

1b.The stems of the biological methods were in a healthier condition, indicating maximum plant production.

The reduction of the damage done by fertilizer and pesticides left more time for optimum growth. Therefore having a healthier and cheaper yields.

2a.These roots were fertilized the original way and as can be seen looks very cramped and restricted.

Almost as if the roots struggled to penetrate the soil. They were also planted 6 weeks old after transplanting, but with normal methods.

2b. Due to lack of nutrients could the plant not reach its full growth capacity.

Pest control in these bays were very high compared to the plants treated with biological methods. To make up weight for sale, 7 plants were needed in a bundle while only 5 stems were needed to make the required weight with picture 1a, which were treated with biological methods.

3a. The appearance of fungi indicates a healthy soil biology.

Fungi and bacteria are the musketeers when it comes to decomposition. Fungi only arrives with the presence of a healthy bacterial population.

4. Common problem initially found before the implementation of biological methods.

The inconsistency of growth were a common occurrence in many of the bays.

With alternative methods plant production can reach optimum levels which are not just a healthier crop, but also producing more for less.

6-Weeks after transplantation, the plants have a healthy color and a even consistency, utilizing the maximum growth area.
