This dig free soil enricher is produced at our renewable energy plant near Poundbury in the beautiful Dorset countryside, and was started originally by local farmers and the Duchy of Cornwall.
So you can be sure that, just as Bloomin Amazing’s unique triple action gives your garden the best care and attention possible, you are also protecting the wider eco-system in which every garden thrives and belongs. Our commitment to sustainability also means that every bag of Bloomin Amazing soil enricher is guaranteed 100% peat-free, as well as being organic and vegan friendly.
You will be amazed at how plants which have never bloomed before will grow taller and more vigorously - Bloomin Amazing!
Bloomin Amazing comes from an environmentally sustainable source and it makes use of a by-product from the production of energy. As you might expect, we’ve aimed to make sure that the rest of our supply chain is equally sustainable. Our principles are:
REDUCE
We have reduced the amount of plastic material we use, we only have one package size - 50 litres - and don’t see making smaller package sizes as anything other than wasteful.
Using our excellent pallet network hauliers Wyvern Cargo we distribute throughout the UK knowing that fully loaded lorries are aimed for to save them and us cost from less fuel, and therefore energy used per pallet.
Bloomin Amazing is produced using the solid digestate byproduct from our anaerobic digestion process, but the liquid digestate byproduct is used as a fertiliser on all our crops to displace artificial imported oil based fertilisers. As a result on our maize for example we only use 24% of of the imported nitrogen we used to use, 37% of the phosphate, and no imported potash.
RE-USE
There are countless creative ways of minimising Waste. Some ideas for upcycling the plastic bags are:
Turn it inside out and use it to line your waste bin
Punch holes, fill with autumn leaves and create your own leaf mulch for next Spring
Use it to take masonry or rubbish to the recycling centre
Place printed side down on bare soil and weigh down with pebbles to kill weeds
Make fabulous containers for collecting up all your hedge clippings, tree prunings and weeds
Personal favourite though is what our gardeners use them for, to grow their potatoes in - then when they’re ready to harvest, just empty into a wheelbarrow and pick ‘em out! 🤗
Our latest sustainable project is capturing the CO₂ from the biogas we produce and now selling it, or re-using it through BioCarbonics to the food and drink industry for use in beer and cider production, and the horticultural industry where they use it in glasshouses for stimulating the growth of fruit and vegetables.
RECYCLE
We are doing yet more pioneering work, the first in the industry, with our bag film suppliers trialling a new ‘biotransitioning’ - biodegradable - plastic additive from Polymateria. The additive is added at a rate that should start the bags breaking down in 2-3 years, after which all that would be left is CO₂ and water.
Primarily we hope that customers will take their bags to be recycled, in fact one of our stockists Dobbies has come up with an idea we had ourselves when we first started but were unable to get the funding. In 10 of their garden centres they have started taking all compost bags from any supplier for recycling
We also use locally recycled pallets to deliver the Bloomin Amazing on to our stockists.
