Ace of Herts is produced by the aerobic windrow technique. This concentrates organic matter and leaves the nutrients to be slowly released into the soil as and when your plants require them. The use of this recycled product enables valuable humus and nutrients to be returned to the soil. It can also be used in place of peat, which is good news for our diminishing peatland habitats. During production the materials are shredded and screened a number of times removing undesirable substances and speeding up the composting process, and temperatures are constantly monitored to guarantee a regular 65-72 degrees centigrade is maintained. This ensures that weed seeds and pathogens are killed off. Thereby producing a compost we sincerely believe is second to none

On receipt of the fresh raw material it is placed in one of the bays and is shredded within the first 24 hours. After the first shredding, it is left to'cook' for a while, depending on rainfall and outside temperatures. The heap temperature is monitored to maintain a constant 65 to 72 degrees centigrade. As soon as the temperature drops below that, the raw compost is passed through the shredder again. This turns the heap and serves to re-activate bacteria whose renewed activity in turn warms up the compost again.This ensures that temperatures are maintained to aid breakdown and that any weed seeds and pathogens are killed off. |
