Hello we are here with Shankar and Manjushri Bhoomi farms in India. What you will see right now is a trial with control versus soil primer. There has been three applications so far. When we remove the mulch and we run our fingers we see the clay very heavy clay and if you you could see maybe it's not very evident in the in the image below you will see that it just stays as clay. The texture is very very heavy clay. Then we moved, we moved on after how many days mankind? 45 days go to the treated where we do the same and we see the aggregation. You can run the fingers as hard as you want and Shankara Manju noticed that themselves where instead of having that clay that sticks to your fingers you see that texture of porosity and the aroma it's like a forest floor. So so far this trial has been very successful and we're hoping to we can continue this continue and keep experimenting on larger scale, correct?
