What’s In It ?

The compost is made from a mixture of animal manures, fish waste, paunch grass from abattoirs, waste from food and petfood manufacturers, fruit waste from packhouses and grape waste from wineries. No human waste is included.

Bulking material such as bark, sawdust, and shredded municipal green waste is added to the mix to create the optimum carbon-to-nitrogen ratio. This also helps the compost to decompose aerobically.

Our Composting Process

The combined mix is then put into aeration bins so that it receives ample oxygen and is maintained at the correct temperature. After 10 to 14 days in the bins the compost is placed in wind rows and turned as required for the next 3 to 9 months. From here it is screened and stored for sale.BioRich can alter its mix, or add amendments, to meet particular needs of clients. BioRich produces its compost according to the Standards of BioGro New Zealand.
