The organic farmers were among the first...
Organic farmers were among the first users of Grander water revitalisation. Living close to nature, it has always been their aim to maintain high-quality soils and to produce food with no chemical residues. The organic-farming couple Inge and Konrad Weinberger from Regen describe their experience: “We had cows that didn’t calve for a full year, even with the help of a vet. Now that we use revitalised water, we no longer have such problems. The livestock numbers have increased. It was really very noticeable.”
And the couple reports on another significant phenomenon: “The liquid manure has also undergone a fundamental change. Previously, it had always been necessary to stir the liquid manure, and this was very labour intensive. This past spring when we opened the pit, we saw that there was no floating surface layer. It had an even consistency, and we could pump it out and spread it on the fields. The manure has also improved in quality; it smells less pungent and doesn´t burn the plants. In spite of the fact that we use organic farming methods where artificial fertilisers are taboo, our fodder plants grow really well.”
