still playing but at 1.5m above soil , charging the bacteria within the soil would seem to have a small increase in air temperature , we are using multiple temp sensors linked together and though we cannot yet change the 1.5m temp by a full 1c yet ( currently .2 to .4 is the range )...

Just for my own curiosity just about to start trialling raising soil temperature in soil biologically and it effect /or not on air temperature at vine height , who knows

I have seen in other crops work being done working with biology , one of the consequences was a soil temperature rise , not by much 0.5-1.5c and lasting days not weeks but wonder how useful the small heat increase would be ?

we have Bomford and Spearhead units( though they are now one in the same) and have always done us well ,that have put up with a fair bit of punishment, spares are never an issue , and have a resale value too

does anyone carry out biological testing of their soil ? , no angle asking ,as not something we do, just pay others to do for us for other crops

Will data from drones or satellites be able to be meshed with your mapping ?

I did understand it was a bit of NFU style group and mirrors the issues of a group supporting just its members or the industry as a whole conundrum , as ever the best thing maybe is to just to keep talking to everyone

Just wondered how many are WineGB members , viticulture not main pursuit but seems around only half of vineyards are members( though appreciate some of the larger ones are) and can probably can learn as much from the vineyard publications etc or Is it worth it ?

Plants have a fantastic symbiotic relationship with bacteria and fungi ,the mechanism between the two communicating is a electro chemical pathway know as Quorum sensing , increasing beneficial bacterial and fungi populations can have benefits to plant health ,and nutrient availability also...

as things slow down getting basic parts for machines is turning into an effort , even fuel is taking 7-10 days after ordering

plenty of wine tasting I reckon going on at home given the times :)

we are increasingly trying to improve symbiotic conditions in soils over a wide range of types with good results mainly using food grade acid stimulation works well in grass and cereals , any use on vines ?

been offered something similar to this , though we run a few new holland tractors, haven't as yet looked out for one of their machines but also worth a look i guess , any idea how many of these type of machines working on the Uk ?
