Beneficial Snowfall

Whilst for many people the snow might seem inconvenient, we love it!

It is great to get a proper winter - it helps to knock back pests and diseases in the season. Also, as the snow falls the crystals catch nitrogen from the atmoshpere and feed the soil. We were also fortunate that the soil was still not frozen before the snow came, so it can melt easily into the ground and we get the maximum benefit from the snowfall.

This week big news, Kristóf Hayes, Matthew's eldest son is starting work for Zsámboki Biokert. Kristóf is coming initially for one year as a commercial manager for the box system and webshop. We wish him luck and we'll introduce him more fully in a future newsletter.

Welcome, Kristóf!

Coming: a report by Matthew from the UK's Oxford Real Farming Conference - a great event on the agro-ecological farming calendar.
