We only feed crops to our digester, so thats all that comes out too!
IMPROVING YOUR SOIL HEALTH
The by-product of our anaerobic digestion process, digestate is a valuable source of nutrients and a crucial component in our circular economy.
The digestate is spread on our own farm, as well as numerous other farms that supply our digesters with crop. This reduces the need for manufactured fertilisers, therefore lowering our crop establishment costs and also reducing the CO2 produced during this process.
Since we put down the plough and began spreading our digestate, our soil organic matter levels (which we test regulalrly) are all now rated as ‘high’ or ‘very high’ – healthy soils mean happy crops!
The wider environmental benefits have also been apparent since we started using our digestate, with a noticeable return of birds and other wildlife.
Healthy farm land in the UK helps to foster communities of microorganisms, which supports insect life and, therefore, provides food for mammals and birds. By spreading our nutritious by-products back on our land, we’re not only reducing our carbon emissions, but also supporting our ecosystem.
We offer both solid and liquid digestate to farms – and can both deliver and spread the product for you
– solids which we can deliver in articulated lorries direct to the field, and can bring a loading shovel and tractor and spreader to site
– liquid we transport in our fleet of tankers and spread with an umbilical dribble bar.
Both have Soil Association approval for organic use.
