In this post I will look back on our past project on using plant-soil feedbacks to improve the growth of Chrysanthemum, an important cut flower crop in The Netherlands.

Research is always team work and thus, I am looking for more members to join our team!

Just realized I have not posted in a while and that I will be away this week as well. Things have not been standing still here and in past few weeks a lot has happened.

I described my ideal soil and launched the search for the best soils in the Netherlands. I’ve got quite some good nominations so far.

What is a good soil? What is a healthy soil? People in different fields would answer very differently.

'My' project called ‘Learning from nature– towards sustainable crop production using soil fungi’ officially starts today and I cannot wait to start the experiments!
