Letter to BBC Farming Today on Neonics

Share this post

In reply to their broadcast of Wednesday 20th July

Dear Staff

Following on from our interview with Farming Today at the Luton Studio on GM crops….we have solutions to the problems created by the use of Neonicotinoids in agriculture.
We have not used neonics or any other chemical fertilisers or pesticides in 25 years of growing a wide variety of crops with no loss of crops to insect infestations. Our approach is soil based, is becoming increasingly cheaper to operate than any chemical system, and is the basic solution to pests and diseases across the board in Farming Today.
Entomology can work in conjunction with this science but in fact is not actually necessary in successful management of pest prevention in crops. Ours is a superior science as I have lectured at Oxford, Warwick, Coventry and Harper Adams Universities. Also I have stated our case to Rothamstead Research Centre in a forty-five-minute discussion with their top five soil scientists where I was invited to do so by Maurice Molony the Director at the time.
If you and the rest of the world want a simple answer to these problems including stopping the most prolific pests such as slugs, snails and caterpillars which we have also solved over 25 years with our soil amendment alone please write to us for an interview.
Also this last summer, having moved our offices to South Wales, we have successfully turned Wales’s worst weed, Japanese Knot Weed, into an optimum fertiliser. We are selling this on ebay and through our own website.

  1. Howdy very nice website!! Man .. Beautiful ..
    Amazing .. I will bookmark your web site and take the feeds also?
    I am glad to search out numerous useful information right here within the submit, we’d like
    work out extra techniques in this regard, thank you for sharing.

    . . . . .

  2. I’m amazed, I must say. Rarely do I come across a blog that’s equally educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you’ve hit the nail on the head.
    The problem is something that too few folks
    are speaking intelligently about. Now i’m very happy
    I came across this in my search for something relating to this.

  3. Hi! I understand this is kind of off-topic but I needed to ask.
    Does managing a well-established website like yours require a lot of work?

    I am completely new to running a blog however I do write in my diary daily.
    I’d like to start a blog so I can share my experience
    and views online. Please let me know if you have any kind of ideas or tips for new aspiring bloggers.
    Appreciate it!

      Yes it does, but not as much as you’d think as the web site has been set up for a long time. This is what takes the work. My blog here is not so much work as it is only relevant to our web site. I try and do one a week. As far as staring your own blog I’m sure there are many people or groups that could help you with that.

  4. Its like you read my mind! You seem to know so much about this,
    like you wrote the book on it The Lost Science of Organic Cultivation. I think that you could do with a
    few more pics to drive the message home, but inspite of that, this is wonderful
    blog. A great read. I’ll certainly be back.

  5. Wonderful site. Plenty of useful information here.
    I am sending it to some friends ans also
    sharing in delicious. And certainly, thanks for your effort!
