The new Global Repair Sittler 512 Windrow Turner

Life in the Soil

Dr. Elaine Ingham presented her seminar "Life in the Soil" in Milverton, On, Wed Jan 21/2015. The seminar focused on plant requirements, nutrient exchange and the important role microbes play in our soil/food production. Making and using quality compost, compost tea and compost extract are the most effective ways to replenish soil life and benefit plant health.

Global Repair Sittler Introduces Dual Flap Guard Protection

Global Repair Sittler Inoculating Water Wagon
Dr. Elaine Ingham, founder of Soil Foodweb explained the importance of having all of the right microbes present at the start of the compost cycle in order for the compost to decompose properly.

When ingredients in the windrow have been exposed to pesticides or other chemical concentrations or if GM crop by products are used microbial presence may be inhibited. Sometimes this can slow the heating process. By inoculating we have some type of assurance that all of the right microbes will be present.

Maintaining heat at 131 degrees F for 10-15 days breaks down pesticides,
antibiotics and binds heavy metals. Maximum heat should not exceed 149 degrees F.

Microbes and nutrients can be extracted directly in the inoculating tank and applied to the windrow with the Sittler Water Injection unit that is standard on all of the Sittler turner models. Finished compost that has been evaluated for beneficial microbial presence is placed in a mesh bag and dunked into the water in the inoculating tank. The bag is gently massaged so the microbes, humic acids and other nutrients are released into the solution

The compost needs to be inoculated as the windrow is turned. Compost particles experience maximum exposure during the aeration process with microbes and nutrients being evenly distributed into the windrow. Testing for moisture in the windrow showed consistent readings after inoculation.

Sour piles or contaminated windrows may also be remediated with the Sittler water wagon and injection system.

Global Repair/Rodale Institute Form Strategic Alliance, 2011

Global Repair Ltd is pleased to announce that we have formed a strategic alliance with the Rodale Institute and their newly appointed Chief Scientist Dr. Elaine Ingham, founder of Soil Foodweb.

The Rodale Institute has chosen the Sittler 1014 windrow turner, over all other brands, to do all of their composting, R&D, teaching and training. We are very excited to be a part of this powerful collaboration and the opportunity to pursue Research & Development projects together.

Dr. Ingham is world renowned for her work as a leading soil microbiologist and an authority on compost. She has taught thousands of individuals and companies how to improve their compost quality, growing methods and results. Her contribution to the science of compost is remarkable. She is a motivated, captivating speaker and a very efficient, comprehensible teacher. Dr. Ingham is now offering compost courses and will be setting up a full Soil Foodweb lab for soil and compost testing.

Founded in 1947, the Rodale Institute has earned a reputation as a trusted authoritative source of knowledge on soil health, compost and natural growing methods. It’s a pleasure to work with Executive Director, Coach Mark Smallwood and all of the talented people at the Rodale Institute. We’re very pleased with the progress we’ve made and confident about future accomplishments with Rodale.

Although we always welcome all new business and learning opportunities, situations like this rarely occur. We’re absolutely delighted to be able to work with the brightest, most experienced in their field and be a part of leading edge discoveries. The commercial compost sector pays little attention to microbiology and valuable resources are wasted as a result. Although we have made progress in the last 20 -30 years with our knowledge of compost, there is much more to discover. If we are going to meet the growing demand for food with our increasing population and degradation to our farmland, we need to improve our soils and, at the same time, sequester carbon by improving the quality of compost we make and apply.

OCWA Wins Award with Sittler Turner
At the 33rd Annual Water Environment Association of Ontario (WEAO) Symposium in April, the Belle River-Maidstone Pollution Control Plant, part of Ontario Clean Water Agency in southern Ontario, was presented with an award for the results obtained by using a Sittler 512 compost windrow turner.

Some of the concerns which caused Belle River to purchase the windrow turner were: The need to increase dry matter in biosolids for hauling and land application - increased from 18% to 54% making the finished product cleaner and easier to haul and much more acceptable for spreading. The plant's 10 acre site location is in the midst of residential areas, industrial and school zones so odor complaints were a concern. Liquid storage and application were not viable options. By making windrows of the biosolids which are then turned with the Sittler turner and efficiently composted, odor is eliminated.

The time it was taking to turn with a back hoe has been reduced by 400% with the Sittler turner. Reduced volume and weight of biosolids has resulted in cost reductions in hauling fees.

Some of the other reasons farmers are more accepting of this compost is that the weed seeds, tomato seeds and other vegetation have been destroyed in this composting process. The product can be spread evenly with a spinner-type spreader which gives up to a 40-ft even spread pattern with very little compaction by equipment vs using a manure-type spreader with a 10-ft uneven spread pattern. The dry biosolids are easier to incorporate into the soil than the inconsistent wet solids.

Environmental risks are lower with the stabilized biosolids and public acceptance has increased with the neat appearance and lack of odor from the site. Belle River will be meeting with local farmers this year with the expectation of building up the demand for their composted biosolids.
