In its first few weeks of sales, Bloomin Amazing hit the top ten best-selling growing media products in the GTN Bestsellers lists and it has rapidly become established as one of 2018’s most successful new garden products. This unique new triple action soil enricher is made entirely from a by- product of the UK’s first commercial biomethane generating plant on the Duchy of Cornwall estate near Poundbury in Dorset.
The 100% peat free formula is high in organic matter making it an ideal soil conditioner and a perfect mulch with excellent weed suppression properties. It also has a significant fertiliser content so it really performs the roles of soil improvement, mulching and feeding in one product. There is no need to dig Bloomin Amazing in to the soil, and it is much lighter than other mulches, clean to handle and almost odourless.
Stewarts Garden Centres listed Bloomin Amazing right from the start taking their first deliveries in mid-March 2018. Bloomin Amazing fits with their strong sustainability objectives around recycling, local sourcing and community. Duncan Wills of Stewarts said “Our customers agree Bloomin Amazing is blooming amazing!”
West Country Soil Improvement Ltd can be found in Hall 19 in the Innovator Zone on stand U14.
Bloomin Amazing is produced near Poundbury - an urban extension to Dorchester built according to the principles of urban planning advocated by HRH The Prince of Wales, with the concept of sustainability at the heart of the masterplan. Rainbarrow Farm AD plant was the UK’s first commercial biomethane to grid plant and injected green gas into the National Gas Network in October 2012. There are now over 90 gas to grid plants in the UK. The project was a winner of the British Renewable Energy Association Leadership Awards in June 2013, and was a finalist in the REA 2018 Sustainability Awards. Carbon footprint is kept as low as possible in the production of Bloomin Amazing by sourcing all the raw materials within an average 7 mileradius of the plant. Raw material is in the form of energy crops grown as sustainable break crops on local farms, which when fed into the plant take 30+ days to fully complete the digestion process whilst at 52° C. The plant generates enough gas to flow to 4,500 homes in the winter and 50,000 homes in mid-summer. One of the by-products of the process is approximately 8,000 tonnes of organic separated ‘digestate’ and it is this that becomes the finished product Bloomin Amazing.
Bloomin Amazing is available in 70L bags with a suggested retail price of £6.99.
