Testimonials
Mr. Pocock of Stringston Farm, Somerset: “The Slurry Booster automated system has reduced my bought in fertiliser costs significantly. The concept of the fully maintained and serviced automated system means our large pit, which is scraped into every day, is inoculated all the time giving much better results. There is also a noticeable improvement in the palatability of the grass following spreading."
Mr. Phillips of Trebared Farm, Cardigan: “Since using Slurry Bugs in my slatted tanks, pumping is far easier which saves time and fuel. I only need to stir every 3rd emptying which means the nitrogen stays in the slurry instead of being lost as ammonia. The real value of the Slurry Booster System can be seen with my maize when I grow using only slurry for fertiliser. All fields in 2007 (a very wet summer) produced 20 tonnes per acre with the best at 34% DM, 36% starch. Now it is even more important to preserve the nutrients in the slurry and save on fertiliser costs.”
Stuart Shephard, Moons Farm, Preston: “My large underground tanks used to be difficult to pump out due to crusting. Having used Slurry Bugs for 18 months the tanks stay liquid making them easy to pump, there is little or no ammonia and the nutrients in the slurry have helped to yield excellent crops this summer”.
Mr. Leach, Myerscough College: " The results are very encouring and we are continuing the research to monitor the improvemnets in N value. The trial findings are also very timely; soaring ammonium nitrate costs have led us to bring our fertiliser strategy under review."
