"Using Digestate from Granville EcoPark for almost 3 years now we have seen big savings with reduced usage of chemical fertiliser.

We soil sample on a yearly basis and have managed to bring P and K to optimum levels so all nutients applied are fully utilised and have done this through the use of Digestate.

Last year we also planted approx 100 acres of maize. We used Digestate and only a small amount of bagged fertiliser to assist with boosting the crop until the roots where developed enough to reach the ploughes in Digestate. The crop was planted late but once it took hold it surpassed many crops planted 6 weeks beforehand. We have also noticed that pH levels in the soil have jumped massively in one year which is another cost saving as we didnt have to apply lime."

“It’s great to see that we are generating electricity from our food waste in this way and helping reduce our county’s carbon footprint. Not only is our food waste being used to generate renewable energy but a sustainable fertiliser is created too, all of which gets us closer to our net zero ambitions.”
