World Class Technology for your GreensWe like to think we are pretty forward thinking in the way we tackle organics recycling in South Australia. We are experts at recycling large quantities of green organics, a growing waste stream for our State and a critical step in reducing greenhouse gasses from landfill.
Every day we accept over 300 tonnes of green organics that are processed, composted and then screened, all of which requires innovative technology.
As leaders in developing systems to best handle large quantites of green organics, we have engineered a brand new, world-class processing plant which we affectionately call ROSS 3.0 (Recycled Organics Screening System).
ROSS 3.0 is a world class, organics recycling system and includes an innovative conveyor system, wind sifters, magnets, infra red screening, x-ray technology and a water bath for reclaiming over sized organics.
mixing compost into your soil mimics the natural process of making soil
compost is made up of decomposed organic materialthat plays a number of key roles in your soil
2.
1. organic matter is food for millionsof bacteria & fungi which in turn are food for protozoa & nematodes - all important parts of healthy soil.
the compost breaks down into the soiland releases nutrients that can beused immediately by plant roots.
3. the resulting improved soil structure & organic matter hold more water in the soil.
4. organic matter is also food forearth worms which creates air channelsfor water & air to reach plant roots& provide nutrients from their poop!
this complex ‘web of life’ in the soil helps form structure which holds soil in place.
the big tip:
increasing biodiversity in your garden soilmakes your soil healthier,releases plantavailable nutrients & holds more water.

Jeffries were the successful supplier of a customised soil blend made especially for the Royal Adelaide Hospital Development on North Terrace.
3,000m3 of Jeffries Special Soil was blended with custom amendments to ensure a growing media that could be used in raised garden beds throughout the hospital and outdoor garden areas.
A special component of the blend was the use of Hydrocell. Hydrocell is a soil amendment that lasts up to 7 years and holds water when the soil can’t. Slowly releasing water over time, when plants need it most. Jeffries are proudly the South Australian supplier of Hydrocell.
Jeffries Hydrocell Soil is the perfect choice for planting large trees and establishing garden beds.
