Ashley Le Sech

Ashley represents the fourth generation of Le Sechs to be potato growers. He works with his uncle who also keeps cattle, benefiting from the organic material they produce to keep the potato fields in good health. He is a great believer in using as much natural fertilizer as possible, such as Vraic (or seaweed as it’s better known), which is a natural source of nitrogen and very good soil conditioner. Ashley hopes that his youngest son will follow in his footsteps; he is teaching him the importance of looking after the soil and that, if you look after nature, she will help look after you.
