STOCKBRIDGE RESEARCH CENTRE

Stockbridge


From February – July 2006 Neil Bragg, our internationally renowned Soil Scientist, and his technical team conducted an independent and impartial retail compost trials project at Stockbridge Research & Development Centre, North Yorkshire.

Further development has been made with regard to the production of peat reduced substrates. It has taken Neil, and his several technical substrate development partners 17 years of continuous research to pioneer and develop the unique peat alternative substrate Forest Gold Plus.

SUBSTRATE PROCESSING FACILITY


Bulrush Packing
Processed Bark continues to dominate the mulch market
in UK and Ireland


S
eason 2006 has seen the installation of our new “high tech” peat alternative substrate processing facility. Being in control of our raw material resources results in the production of
very consistent and high quality substrates.

Processed Bark continues to dominate the mulch market in UK and Ireland. In response to the increased demand for quality bark chips, Bulrush has commissioned a new bark screening facility that will produce much cleaner and chunkier decorative chips of quality bark.

Further investment has been made to the packing facilities at our Newferry production plant. We have increased production capacity for both professional and retail composts and have the facility to produce the most modern and stylish shapes and sizes of products, i.e. Bales, Slab Bales, Loose Filled Bags, Semi Bulk Bags and Mega Bales.

Forest Gold Plus has been tried and tested by leading professional, commercial growers with excellent results.

The addition of Forest Gold Plus creates a much improved water holding capacity in the compost and allows for greater nutrient levels to be incorporated, thus extending the period before supplementary feeding needs to commence.
