This showcase is about improving the soils in nurseries by using upgraded and composted organic biowaste streams of the Province of Flevoland. The material is coming from the fruit- and vegetable boxes of Flevolands consumers. And wastestreams from supermarkets. The challenge is to combine the suitable wastestreams and to improve soil life and soil structure. The soils in Flevoland are sea clay soils, Containing high amounts of calcium and low in phosphate. Besides the nutrient content, also existance of for example virus-transmitting nematodes have to be taken into account. Especially in this organisation were they make virus free starting material for fruit growers. In the showcase, combinations are made of organic wastestreams together with additives to solve lacks of nutrients.
