SOUTHERN VIEW Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz Thursday October 1 2020 3 News New ‘recipe’ to curb smelly Bromley site THIS A NEW ‘recipe’ for making compost at the organics processing plant in Bromley could hold the key to reducing the suburb’s odour issues. The new recipe has been formulated over the past three months at the Living Earth plant (right). “As it takes about 12 weeks for material to go through the composting process, we won’t know exactly what impact the new recipe has had on the odour situation until the end of October,’’ said city council city services general manager David Adamson (left). “However, tests that we have done show the new compost recipe gives off considerably less potentially odorous gases than the old compost recipe so there are promising indicators it will make a positive difference. “We appreciate there has not been a significant change to odour in the wider area so far but are hopeful that Bromley residents will gradually start to notice the odour issues dissipating as the new compost recipe works through the facility.’’ Adamson says new ‘housekeeping’ processes at the transfer station have significantly reduced the odour coming from that facility. The council plans to survey residents in Bromley soon about the odour issues and whether they have noticed an improvement in the air quality.” Guided walks to resume at Botanic Gardens WEEK will see the resumption of guided walks by the Friends of the Botanic Gardens guiding team, but with a difference. Pre-lockdown, the guides offered daily walks from the museum from September to April, with the great majority of customers being overseas tourists. The landscape has changed and the guiding programme has had to change with it. From October to December this year, the guides will be offering a selection of daily 45min walks in different parts of the gardens. The guides love to share the stories of the unique Botanic Garden, stories of its history, of its place in the history, and stories of trees and plants, such as the iconic Kauri tree which belongs to an ancient group of trees from the times of the dinosaurs. A relative of the kauri was discovered as recently as 1994 in the Blue Mountain region of New South Wales – six specimens of this tree are now planted along the drive near the visitors’ centre. Walks will be free until the end of this year, and a small charge may be incurred into 2021 to support the work of the Botanic Gardens.
