A NEW windrow turner will save States Works staff hours.
General manager Nigel Dorey said the new £150,000 piece of equipment – to help turn green waste into soil conditioner – had been on the wish list for a while.
‘It turns rows of compost over which needs to be done around once every week,’ he said.
‘The way I’d describe it is that it’s almost like a goalmouth on wheels with a big rotor blade in the middle.
‘The blade turns and spins, turning compost and throwing it out behind it in a nice neat row.’

ANOTHER TWO YEARS!!!
Does anyone else despair at the snail pace urgency of our States. Is this what makes them the worst States ever?
