Anyone know what this is about?
Driving from Bangor to Cardigan last Friday, spotted the signs for the Lovesgrove Composting Site/Scheme.
Was on the way to a meeting, so no time to stop and nosey but did manage to see what looked like rows of v nice looking compost and was wondering if this is a public or private venture?
Unfortunately no longer live in the area and nothing like this happening nr Bangor ... unless anyone knows differently.
No and I live less than half a mile away. It hasn't been publically advertised so I assume it is work in progress but I will have an ask around. Next to the new cattle market as well, very handy.

Some of the stuff they have been composting was soiled bedding from a Hybu Cig Cymru investigation into the benefits (or otherwise) of using wood chips as livestock bedding.
OH was involved with one of the trial flocks - he thought it was dreadfull bedding - perhaps it will make better compost.

Hi,
I've been asked to clarify our operations at the Lovesgrove Composting Facility near Aberystwyth as there seems to have been a bit of confussion on the thread.
The facility is owned by CB Environmental Ltd which has nothing to do with Hybu Cig Cymru or animal bedding. The compost is produced from green waste only, brought to the Civic Amenity site on the Glanyrafon Industrial Estate, Aberystwyth as well as the council's waste transfer station and our Rheidol Recycling Park (also on the industrial estate). The compost is produced in turned, open windrows which are visible from the road and has been accredited as PAS 100 Quality Compost under the Association for Organics Recycling scheme on behalf of DEFRA's Waste Resource Action Programme. PAS 100 is a national requirement for commercial composters involving a managed system and laboratory analysis of the product. By following this approach a waste ceases to be a waste and becomes a fit for use end product.
Please visit our website for more info on our activities. Thanks
