Peats Soil - organic recycling, the Green story:
Peats Soil have a
goal to recycle products and are proud to be leading the field in
the development of organic farm and garden products. Recycled green
organics are blended with other organic ingredients and composted
to produce rich mulches and soil conditioners which are ideal nutrient
and humic acid sources. These products are ideal for use in landscaping,
horticulture, agriculture, forestry, highways, land regeneration and
home gardens.
The composting process
takes the material through a thermophilic stage killing all plant
pathogens and nutrient immobilisers, therefore allowing the release
of trace elements and macro nutrients. It then goes through a mesophilic
stage, stabilising the composition, trapping organics and nutrients
within the mix. This gives the material its nitrogen balanced properties.
These are a mix of soluble forms of nitrogen and trapped, or immobilised,
forms of nitrogen. This reduces leaching and supplies a steady stream
of nitrogen as trapped nitrogen is released.
All composting is carried out
according to the Composting Best Practice Report as handed down by
the Waste Management Association of Australia. All composting operations
on our site at Willunga are covered by licence from the Environmental
Protection Authority.
Peats Soil - Mulch more than
sponsorship:
Peats Soil have for many years supported sporting and community
organisations throughout South Australia.
Through the select injection of sponsorship dollars, Peats Soils
support the communities that in turn support the use of recovered
organic mulches and compost. Products such as Peats Nitra Mulch
which is widely used throughout the viticulture industry as a major
form of moisture retention and soil improvement.
