The first question to ask is: what is the Nitrification.
Great growers understand one key concept that seems fairly simple (and it is). They understand how to keep their crop balanced. They know that a healthy, balanced crop gives them the ability to direct plants’ energy where it’s needed...
You are passionate about farming, you don't have a criminal record, you need experience under your belt with the help of farmers who've been in the game for generations. Then you need to register to be a WWOOFEE. 
Compost is a mixture of organic residues (manure, animal carcasses, straw, etc.) that have been piled, mixed and moistened to undergo thermophilic (high heat ) decomposition.
For a product to be called ‘organic’, food must comply with the standards specific to organic agriculture, from production, processing, packaging to transport and distribution. There is no legislation available at present governing the production of organic food in South Africa.
The fertility you bring in the soil is important. This can be done at the lowest cost to keep your profit up. You could get HEAPS of wood chips from arborists for a good fungal rich compost and the carbon they contain. Great carbon source
As populations have grown, farming practices have become more intensified to maximise crop yields and ensure we can feed the ever growing population #foodsecurity. Guys, there's 7,594 BILLION people on earth..(World Bank 2018)
A lot of times in greenhouses, the irrigation will come from the top and plants aren't planted directly in the soil on the ground, but in pots. In tunnels, you plant on the ground soil and your irrigation (drip) will run on the ground.
