2. Landscaping Tree Planting BHR30C compost has a mixture of particle sizes which is produced for blending in soil tree pits. The courser texture is ideally suited to breaking up the soil around tree roots and the slow release nutrients help to establish trees successfully. Mulching BHR30C compost can be applied as mulch ideally to a minimum depth of 6 – 8 inches around beds and tree planting. The mulch will suppress weed growth making maintenance easier as well as acting as a slow release nutrient source. It is not suitable for Ericaceous plant species. Soil Conditioner BHR10C or BHR30C composts are ideal for blending and mixing into soils that need a boost. Particularly for heavy clay soils or light sandy soils. Topsoil A range of topsoil is available including BHR30T, BHR30M and BHR10T and BHR10M. The two topsoil ranges are sandy soils and high organic matter soils available in different particle size ranges. Agriculture A 30mm compost grade is produced to PAS 100 and Quality Protocol standards. This material is now classified as a product due to the Compost Quality Protocol. As a result the compost use will not require a paragraph 7a for application to agricultural land. The compost has been used on Brier Hills Recycling Ltd own farm land for 10 years and has proven very successful in raising soil index levels, soil organic matter, earthworm activity and as a result has seen improvements in crop yield. The application rates are restricted to approximately 30t/hectare in nitrogen vulnerable zones. This means that repeated applications have shown the best results with year on year applications. Woodchip Shredded and screened to a variety of specifications to meet chipboard manufacturer requirements. The woodchip is screened to remove any metal foreign objectives. A woodchip specification for animal bedding is also produced. www.brierhillsrecycling.co.uk Company Profile Brier Hills Recycling Ltd Managing Director: William Mackintosh Telephone: 01405 818877 or 07968046876 E-mail:wj.mackintosh@btconnect.comwj.mackintosh@btconnect.com Site Address: Brier Hills Recycling, Sandtoft Road, Hatfield, Doncaster DN7 6HA T: 01405 818877
