Global Repair Sittler Compost
Turner 509 shown above
Global Repair suggestions for
preparing your compost to spread with your Global Repair Compost Turner.
Compost left outdoors over the winter can take on moisture making it a
challenge to spread. The excess moisture can reduce the aerobic microbial
life's access to oxygen. The compost will most likely clump and not spread
evenly. Leaving it in an overly moist windrow under these conditions can
alter the microbial life present. Trying to spread it as is can be more than
a challenge and sometimes impossible so why frustrate yourself and waste
time? Turning the compost prior to spreading will introduce oxygen
encouraging new aerobic life into your compost windrow. You may have to do
it several times. You may also have to wait until the compost has had some
sun exposure to reduce the moisture level enough to turn it.

About Global Repair
Global Repair is a company dedicated to sustainable development with
a focus on client empowerment through awareness and education. All over the
world in modern society, wherever people exist, there appears to be
accumulating waste. We have imbalances with carbon and other gases in our
atmosphere. Many of our rivers and lakes have high contamination
levels. The agricultural approaches we have pursued for the last 50+ years have
contributed to these problems. There is very little understanding as to what
soil actually is, the complexities of the micro life involved and how it
works.
We believe food security and the struggle for resources to be related to the
cause of many of the worlds problems today and will probably be the cause
of many more in the future. There is a growing awareness of the relationship
between food, contamination, health and behavior.
We pursue Sustainability because we believe in humanity. It is part of our
nature and the essence of commerce to share prosperity. We all have a
connection to earth. We all need food, clean water and air to breathe. They
are foundations for survival and civilization. When we help others achieve
these necessities to a greater degree there is a connection and a
satisfaction in knowing we have contributed to improving life through
empowerment.
Natural approaches to agriculture can bring us closer to harmonious
relationships with each other and our planet and could contribute far more
than we realize to global sustainability.
If
it isn't sold by Global Repair we haven't authorized it and do not endorse
it. Preserve the planet avoid green-washing.
Michael Morris, CEO Global Repair Ltd
So What's new with the Global Repair Sittler 1014?
We just can't stop improving. With a larger diameter drum,
and a fortified drive wheel this new improved rugged beast is ready to turn
compost in the most stubborn wet conditions. With changes in weather
patterns and intensified precipitation every compost operator wants to get
that product moving in a soggy wet spring or fall. The Global Repair Sittler 1014 is tough
and durable and won't let you down when the going gets rough. With
additional safety flaps to protect from projectiles you're ready to roll.
All machines come with a one year warranty.

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.

Turner and Water Wagon at the Rodale Institute.
The Water Wagon connects to the Sittler Water Injection System on the
compost turner. posted Oct. 2/2013
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.
Above, microbes and nutrients can be extracted directly in the inoculating
tank.
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.

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. Its a pleasure to work with Executive Director, Coach Mark
Smallwood and all of the talented people at the Rodale Institute. Were very
pleased with the progress weve made and confident about future
accomplishments with Rodale.
Although we always welcome all new business and learning opportunities,
situations like this rarely occur. Were 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.
