On Monday, soil temperatures\nwere taken and dropped to an average of approximately 9.9 \u00baC. Drone pictures were\ntaken on all three farms to fully visualize the effect of the digestate on grass\ngrowth. Soil samples and herbage samples were taken and sent to FBA\nlaboratories for SR3 and Feed analysis. A separate batch of soil samples was\nsent to JHG Analytical services for microbiological analysis. I will be\nvisiting JHG laboratories for a meeting on soil analysis next week. The grass\non 2 of the farms will also be cut next week with a mower as the grass cover is\ngone too high. The second round of chemical fertilizer will be applied after\ngrass has been cut in the next two weeks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.plantagbiosciences.org\/people\/arlene-mc-grath\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/65\/2019\/05\/1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-145\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.plantagbiosciences.org\/people\/arlene-mc-grath\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/65\/2019\/05\/1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.plantagbiosciences.org\/people\/arlene-mc-grath\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/65\/2019\/05\/1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.plantagbiosciences.org\/people\/arlene-mc-grath\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/65\/2019\/05\/1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.plantagbiosciences.org\/people\/arlene-mc-grath\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/65\/2019\/05\/1.jpg 1379w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.plantagbiosciences.org\/people\/arlene-mc-grath\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/65\/2019\/05\/2-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-146\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.plantagbiosciences.org\/people\/arlene-mc-grath\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/65\/2019\/05\/2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.plantagbiosciences.org\/people\/arlene-mc-grath\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/65\/2019\/05\/2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.plantagbiosciences.org\/people\/arlene-mc-grath\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/65\/2019\/05\/2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.plantagbiosciences.org\/people\/arlene-mc-grath\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/65\/2019\/05\/2.jpg 1379w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.plantagbiosciences.org\/people\/arlene-mc-grath\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/65\/2019\/05\/3-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-147\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.plantagbiosciences.org\/people\/arlene-mc-grath\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/65\/2019\/05\/3-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.plantagbiosciences.org\/people\/arlene-mc-grath\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/65\/2019\/05\/3-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.plantagbiosciences.org\/people\/arlene-mc-grath\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/65\/2019\/05\/3-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.plantagbiosciences.org\/people\/arlene-mc-grath\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/65\/2019\/05\/3.jpg 1379w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.plantagbiosciences.org\/people\/arlene-mc-grath\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/65\/2019\/05\/4-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-148\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.plantagbiosciences.org\/people\/arlene-mc-grath\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/65\/2019\/05\/4-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.plantagbiosciences.org\/people\/arlene-mc-grath\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/65\/2019\/05\/4-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.plantagbiosciences.org\/people\/arlene-mc-grath\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/65\/2019\/05\/4-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.plantagbiosciences.org\/people\/arlene-mc-grath\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/65\/2019\/05\/4.jpg 1379w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.plantagbiosciences.org\/people\/arlene-mc-grath\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/65\/2019\/05\/5-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-149\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.plantagbiosciences.org\/people\/arlene-mc-grath\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/65\/2019\/05\/5-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.plantagbiosciences.org\/people\/arlene-mc-grath\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/65\/2019\/05\/5-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.plantagbiosciences.org\/people\/arlene-mc-grath\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/65\/2019\/05\/5-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.plantagbiosciences.org\/people\/arlene-mc-grath\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/65\/2019\/05\/5.jpg 1379w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The past two weeks I continued to monitor the soil plots in terms of temperature and grass growth.
