During a recent visit to one of our UK case study sites, we spoke with our farmer participant to find out whether they have been experimenting with alternatives to plastic products.

As shown below, they have introduced compostable biomulch to the farm as they were unhappy with the amount of debris left by traditional plastic mulches. Our farmer stated that they would not be able to grow their organic leeks without this mulch.

The below photos show biomulch which will biodegrade more rapidly than plastic mulches. Pictures taken by: Charlotte Chivers
