Nevin Farm are now offering  Soilkee Renovator Services. 
Improve your pastures and increase your yields.

​

• Successfully grow seasonal crops to bridge the feed gap

• Enhance the growth of your existing pastures and build a more resilient topsoil.

• Reduce your brought in feed costs

• Better utilise your fertiliser inputs and soil nutrient reserves by making them plant available.

The unique action of the Soilkee Renovator activates soil life. Triggering regenerative soil function in this way improves soil structure, builds soil carbon through carbon sequestration, and increases water holding capacity and nutrient presence and availability; this improves fertility and increases plant growth as indicated in the independent trial results.

How does the Soilkee Renovator work?

• Minimum till disturbance in spaced apart rows by means of rotating blades create a competition free seed bed for successful germination, leaving around 80% of the pasture undisturbed. 

•  A diverse mix of seeds from clover seed to faba bean size can be applied from the seed box during operation with seeds dropping in the kee’s.

• The undisturbed portion acts as a cover crop protecting the soil from the elements, reducing erosion and keeping around 80% of soil life habitat intact.

• Creating the seed bed the Soilkee Renovator provides additional benefits of aeration and a green manure crop within the worked up portion, providing aerobic conditions and a food source that activates the soil fungi, bacteria and earthworm populations and the natural soil processes they perform.

An addition to the Soilkee System is the Soilkee Mulcher that effectively utilises 'after grazing' stubble, an on farm resource intensifying the Soilkee Renovator effects.

 

The Soilkee Renovator-Mulcher Combo:

 

• The Mulching action captures and incorporates the remaining plant saps present in the after grazing green stubble, before it evaporates into the atmosphere. 

• The plant sap, a valuable resource, would be lost if the remaining stubble was left standing, the plant sap can instead be fed to the soil biota and assist in the breaking down of the plant matter by being incorporated into the soil contributing to the topsoil building process. 

• The Mulching action is followed by the Soilkee Renovator where the pasture standing in the trench lines too are fed to the soil, mixed in with the mulched stubble into the freshly prepared seed beds nested in between rows of remaining pasture that acts as a cover crop. Creating the ideal environment for fungi, worms proliferate and begin depositing their worm castings, rich in beneficial soil biota and plant available minerals triggering the soil carbon building process for a fertile topsoil.
