As part of its partnership with Astredhor Seine-Manche, ECT visited the Saint-Germain-en-Laye plant. The current experiment analyses different plots, vegetated with topsoil or fertile substrates produced by ECT . The protocol analyzes the development of perennials and lawns. 3 three types of fertile substrates were tested: marl-limestone, silty-clay and sandy-loam.
This visit was an opportunity to take stock of the situation. Initial results on different types of fertile substrate appear to be quite conclusive.
