Aye-up,

does anybody remember this product or know anything about it?

It was a fertiliser produced from sewage sludge by Wessex Water in the late 1990s

Cheers, Pete.

I used Humber fertiliser
I’ve also used some similar sewage pellets tipped
Shitty smell
Dusty when they hit the disks
Some of it wasn’t to great for you
Contractors here or some of them wouldn’t go near it or spread it
Not sure it’s same stuff you are on about
High phosphate possibly? We stopped using it too

I used to spread Wessex Water dried sewage cake granules, but it wasn't called that back then. They used Swiss Combi drying techniques. The energy input to dry it was vast & the high oil prices really knackered the job. I don't know if anyone does this kind of thing anymore.

750 kg bags the hiab on the Transpread could just about lift if you dragged them close. Smelt a bit when wet. Spread pattern not much better than lime i.e. 12 metres.

I remember in the early 2000's I had the job of spreading, what was called organic phosphate. It was a brown pellet very similar to a compound feedstuff but it stank to high heaven, covered everything in a layer of horrid brown dust and by the end of the day you and your clothes wreaked.

When ever I asked what it was made from the answer always that it was a organic derived recycled product. I guess that's a posh way of saying sh!t.

I cant remember the analysis but I think it was similar to TSP at about 40-46%
