Just a question for those using PAS100 compost. I was trawling through the associated Compost Quality Protocol that goes with PAS100 paperwork and found the following guidance on initial soil sampling:
" Soil analysis for PTEs should be carried out before the first application of compost and
again when any predicted soil PTE concentration becomes equal to or greater than 75
percent of its corresponding limit value set out in the Sludge Code."
PTE being the 'potentially toxic elements', formerly known as heavy metals.
How many of you have done this or have had it done for them by the compost supplier?
