WaterholdCommercial composting for farms and processing sites
Working across the Murraylands, Mallee & South East. Processing and composting By-Products.
Composting on farm or on-site
Waterhold sets up and manages composting systems on commercial farms and processing sites, with finished compost tested before it goes back onto the land.
We also run our own processing sites, producing premium composted manures for organic farmers, vineyards, horticultural growers, irrigators, dryland farmers and orchards, including almond growers.
All compost follows the AS 4454 standard, with thorough testing before it is used on farm or sold. Consulting is available if you would like help running composting on your own site. Waterhold has done this since 2009, at one stage processing more than 320,000 tonnes of all kinds of material a year across four states.
What we do
Setup and facilitation
We help facilitate what materials you have, what else is needed, where to build the batch and how to go about it.
