Sugar Beet Harvesting
- Annually we recycle at least 200,000 tonnes of sandy loam topsoil which is delivered with the sugar beets we buy from farmers each year
Soil removed from Sugar Beet
- The soil is washed off the beet
- Stones >2mm are separated from the topsoil
Soil transferred to settlement ponds
- The soil is pumped to settlement lagoons during the sugar beet processing period between September to February
- The topsoil is excavated from the lagoons during the spring and summer
Soil conditioning
- The topsoil is dried over a 2 year period using sunshine and mother nature
Soil blending
- Once dry the topsoil goes through a final blending process to create the final products
Purpose built storage
- Post blending the TOPSOIL is stored undercover ready for dispatch
Delivery by experienced hauliers
- Once an order has been placed your delivery will be made using a rigid eight wheeler truck or articulated truck
