How Is Peat Free Compost Made?
The botanical and forestry cuttings are first shredded to increase the surface area of the particles to speed up the composting process. The shredded material is then placed in windrows where the naturally occurring bacteria begin breaking down the material. The windrows are turned several times during the process to ensure thorough and even decomposition of the material. After 12 weeks of composting and constant monitoring, the material is screened to remove any over sized woody fraction and leave only the fully composted, nutrient rich and natural peat free compost.
