What is PAS 100 Green Compost?
Our peat-free green compost is made entirely from recycled green waste, which is mulched and composted in windrow tuners before undergoing a thorough testing process.
The Publicly Available Specification (PAS) is a widely recognized compost quality standard within the organic recycling sector.
To meet PAS standards, producers must implement a high-quality production policy as set by the British Standards Institution, ensuring that the compost produced is of the highest standard.
This certification indicates that the product is made from non-hazardous waste and contains only biodegradable materials, making it safe for both domestic and commercial use.
What does BS3882 mean?
The British Standard 3882 certification for topsoil has been specifically designed to ensure that our soil is consistent and meets high-quality standards. This certification follows strict guidelines set by the British Standards Institute and is the updated version of the original 1994 certification.
BS3882 is evaluated based on three key factors: Soil Structure and Classification, Free from Contamination, and Fertility. Suppliers of BS3882 topsoil must also provide soil analysis results, including the origin of the soil, contamination parameters, and written confirmation that the soil complies with the BS3882:2007 standard.
At Stone Zone & Landscaping Centre, all of our soil is certified to BS3882, making it suitable for a wide range of gardening and landscaping applications.
The Journey of Our Environmentally Friendly Topsoil
At Wessex®, we take immense pride in crafting our best-selling soils in a way that reduces their impact on global warming. To ensure sustainability, we source our topsoil from recycled soils within the local Dorset area, sourced from gardeners and landscapers who have surplus or unused soil from various projects.
Our process begins by carefully screening the recycled soil to remove large stones, sticks, and other debris. This screening process is essential for ensuring the purity of our topsoil. Once the screening is complete, the soil undergoes a thorough testing process that includes checks for particle size, pH levels, and temperature. Only after these tests are successful is our soil awarded the esteemed British Standard 3882 certification.
Additionally, both the BS3882 and PAS 100 Green Compost tests are carried out in the same facility, streamlining the process and ensuring the highest quality standards. Our Green Compost is made from a blend of materials collected from gardens, parks, and areas where tree removal has occurred. This material is then transformed into compost using a windrow turner. Over the course of 12 weeks, the compost is carefully mixed and turned to regulate heat, moisture, and oxygen, ensuring uniformity and quality.
Once the PAS 100 Compost is ready, it is blended with the topsoil using specialized machinery to achieve maximum consistency. All of these processes, from screening to blending, take place in one location, which also houses our Stone Zone warehouse. This ensures that the soil is ready for distribution, arriving in bulk at our warehouse for both in-store and online sales.
At Wessex®, our soil products are crafted from recycled materials, protecting virgin forests and wetland areas from being disturbed for soil production. This approach supports sustainability and creates a soil that is both eco-friendly and high-quality. Additionally, by consolidating all steps in one facility, we minimize the carbon emissions that would otherwise come from transporting materials between multiple sites.
Our commitment to reducing environmental impact is further reflected in our local sourcing from Dorset. By keeping all production processes in one area, we reduce transportation distances and carbon footprints, ensuring that our Wessex® Soil is as sustainable as it is effective.
Finally, within the Wessex® range, we also supply BS8601 Subsoil, Dutch Tree Sand, Farmyard Manure and 10mm Top Dressing ensuring that you can find everything you need to cultivate your garden right here at Stone Zone. Browse our entire collection HERE.
