Field notes on soil, compaction and climate-proof farming.
Here we share articles, field updates, farmer conversations and press that follow Aeropod’s journey – from compaction science to regenerative agriculture in wet, compacted and hard-to-manage soils.

Why soil compaction is quietly destroying yield
A simple, farmer-friendly look at how compaction, waterlogging and lack of oxygen hurt roots – and why traditional tillage is becoming too risky in wetter, more unpredictable seasons.

Designing Aeropod for wet winters and heavy soils
Behind the scenes of how we are co-designing Aeropod with farmers and researchers to work in compacted, waterlogged fields without adding labour or new machinery.

Collaborating with farmers, scientists and universities
How we are working with UK farms and research partners to validate Aeropod in real-world conditions, from heavy clay soils to mixed rotations.

Early trial economics: targeting £100–£300 per hectare
A first look at how we are thinking about pricing Aeropod in line with other soil-health inputs, and why we are designing it to fit existing farm budgets rather than add a new burden.
