March 2017 Ecosoil

On 14 March we were hosted by Jako Pieterse and his team from Ecosoil.

Ecosoil's mission is to provide products and services that enable farmers to raise their profits in a sustainable and environmentally friendly manner, by decreasing their dependence on fertilisers and insecticides, as well as increasing the volume and quality of their production.

One of Ecosoil's (hopefully) prize winning pampoen, more than 300kg!
