A group of GVCG volunteers visited “Greenworld” Recycling in Kings Lynn, located at Estuary Farm, off Edward Benefer Way.
Garden waste collected by the council is brought here for processing into a soil enhancer for farmers.2,500 tons a month is delivered, it is chopped up and staked for a minimum of 10 weeks. being turned at least once.This creates heat up to 80 degrees C which should kill all seeds and bugs.It is then riddled to various sizes, according to requirements and stored waiting for transporting to farms as a soil enhancer which improves the structure and drainage of the soil and provides nutrients for the soil and thereby saving on the use of artificial fertilisers.
The equipment and efficiency was first class. The group thanked David Kilham, the owner/ manager for leading the tour.
