De Echoput - excursion bio farmer Eef Stel : Also on day 16, we visited Eef en Jennie Stel. A farmer who not only went organic but added a water purifier, the Aquarius Vitaliser to his installation. The resulting improvement in the soil is unbelievable in the taste of the vegetables and herbs he grows! There is no need for synthetic fertilizer or pesticides, because nature regulates it all.
