Can I apply paper crumble to my land? Yes! Applying paper crumble to land is an excellent method of increasing organic matter back into your soil whilst delivering a range of vital crop nutrients.
Paper crumble can be used to enrich soil, giving arable farmland a boost of nutrients and organic matter. Paper crumble is a by-product of the papermaking and recycling industries.
Researchers at University of East Anglia (UEA), led by Professor Brian Reid, found paper crumble to have wide reaching effects. The outcome of this investigation has shown that by increasing soil organic carbon, paper crumble has the potential to rejuvenate soil. The stability of the soil structure is improved, the nutrient supply to crops is enhanced, and carbon can be stored with greater efficacy.
Results from the University field study confirm that paper crumble will provide long-term significant increases in SOC, enhance nutrient supply and improve food security.
