SOIL

Soil mix 69% compost green waste and bark, 29% grit and 2% clay using 90,000 tons of soil and 40 acres of plants initially

90,000 tons of soil 40 acres of plants 22,000 cu m greenhouse Opened year old quarry Irregular 16 ha crater, 30 – 70 m deep No flat ground, unstable slopes Very wet with poor drainage No soil

Eden’s Soil and Planting 120 tonnes of green waste composted annually Heaps turned once a week Process takes 10 to 12 weeks Mixed with composted food waste from the in-vessel aerobic digester ‘Neter’ Apply as mulch
