Precision Farming Soilmix         machine.Plough deep. Soil preparation. Agricultural invention. Koos Stofberg, South Africa
We specialize in precision cost-effective farming:  The Soilmix Way.  
Fertilizer and calcium are precision added to the soil according to recommendations
made by soil scientists based on the soil samples taken using our specially invented 1.2m deep 
soil sampling tool.  The Soilmix Machine deep ploughs compacted soil in existing vineyards and 
mixes nutrients deep into the soil.  At the same time the roots of the vineyards are pruned,
thereby stimulating root growth and increasing the ability to absorb water and nutrients - regenerating growth.
We prepare and cultivate the soil using Koos Stofberg's invention, the SOILMIX machine -  'another world first invention for South Africa' (quote: Agricor News)
