Is that your stuff from t'other side of the water?

How easy/painfully expensive was it to organise shipping across?

Cost about £3k, the only hic up was, needless to say, British bureaucracy at this end.

The movers were really good at both ends this time. They say you have to do it once to learn how to do it. We made a few mistakes going out which we didn’t make coming back which made life easier.

Avoid Britannia Lanes like the plague! Useless waste of blood and organs the lot of them, as was their partner in Adelaide. Used Kent’s on the way back who partner with Whites at this end. Really good, slick delivery, took all the packaging away and have offered to return to collect the packaging we didn’t have time to unpack.

We had a shared container going out which took 7 months to arrive. Had sole use coming back which took 3!

First load of free fertiliser arrived today in the form of separated digestate, 40 cube to start and 80 a week from next week. 3.7kg/m3 N so well worth the cost of spreading.

Arrives on a bloody massive trailer - there is a 21m3 tank on the bottom and the walking floor sits above it, and drops down when the tank is empty so they can load it with solids and reduce running empty on longer hauls. Very slick, but they've been through 13 floor belts in 2 trailers in 5 years at €21k a go!

We're storing it in a bladder tank before spreading as it arrives at upto 40 degrees.

Is it micro plastics free?

Digestate from a commercial digester rather than human digestate?
