Two iconic Tasmanian companies are working together to turn salmon hatchery by-product into nutrient rich compost; and cherry lovers will reap the benefits!
September 24th 2020, saw the first large-scale spread of the compost across Cherries Tasmania’s Old Beach orchard. Frances Bender, Huon Aquaculture’s Co-Founder was delighted to see the by-product from Huon’s Whale Point Salmon Nursery put to good use.
“There’s a whole range of fish-based fertilisers and composts out there and any good gardener or farmer knows they are absolutely fantastic to build up the microbiome of the soil.”
