Susie Copsey’s ‘Powered by Wonderpost’ garden

By Leave a Comment

In our latest newsletter we called for Wonderpost Farm Fresh Compost users to send in pictures of their ‘Powered by Wonderpost’ gardens, and the response has been overwhelming with so many of you sharing photos of your wonderful gardens.

In the first of many posts showcasing your brilliant gardens, we turn to Susie Copsey, a long time Wonderpost Farm Fresh Compost user.

And in her own words:

This is what one year of Wonderpost does – even with a long hot summer!
It’s now a must have in my garden.

Wonderpost bags are NOW biodegradable

By Leave a Comment

Yes, plastic can be biodegradable, and we’ve finally found a way to do it.

From 01/05/2020 all our Wonderpost bags are biodegradable which means when they’ve reached the end of their life, after you’ve ripped it open and chucked it away, it’ll just become water, Carbon Dioxide and biomass.

Another small step towards cleaning up the planet.

​We thought you may also be interested in the manufacturing process.

The process:

Stages of oxo-biodegradation with d2w technology: 

  1. d2w masterbatch is added at the manufacturing stage. 
  2. Film containing d2w is extruded at the factory and is made into bags or packaging. 
  3. The product behaves like a conventional product during its intended service life. 
  4. After its service life, the bag or packaging may end up in the open environment. 
  5. The d2w then takes effect and the product begins to degrade in the presence of oxygen. 
  6. The product eventually degrades to nothing more than carbon dioxide, water and biomass.

Neville plants Parsnips in the Sun

By Leave a Comment

We’ve recently done a bit of refurb on the Wonderpost allotment, it was looking very rundown and unloved, adding new surrounds and fencing to keep those pesky chickens away.

The Sun started shining earlier in the week, and Neville, freshly woken from hibernation, decided to plant some Parsnips. Luckily the sun was shining, or we’d have to have changed the title of this post and double lucky that Neville was in full verbose mode as you can see in the video below.

Here’s Neville giving his all in a post-hibernation video about planting Parsnips.

Enjoy
