Composting

New composting facility, Fiji…

After forming half a dozen windrows, composing of chicken manure and sugar cane mill mud, ready for composting, heavy rains had the whole area under water for three weeks.   When the waters finally subsided, the compost windrows had been flattened and “strangle bush” as the Fijians called it, had taken over the whole paddock.  We started turning what was left of a couple of windrows but the strangle bush proved to make turning very difficult.   A front end loader was arranged to clear out all the strangle bush and reform the compost windrows.

A Chinese built 120hp tractor was purchased to tow the Oz Turner CT3600 and operate the 8 ton Oz Spreader.  Three months later an associate of Oz Turners & Mulchers returned to check on their progress.   What a transformation!  The staff are now busy on the Oz Bagger, bagging and sealing fresh compost for the local market.
