An apparatus for manufacture of organic plant growth media from a starting material comprises; a conveyor comprising a screw auger rotatably housed in an inclined tubular body having an inlet port located at a lower end and an outlet port at an upper end, wherein the screw augur in use conveys the starting material along the inclined tubular body; and a dewatering station which receives treated material from the outlet port, comprising one or two screw augurs which, in use, facilitate at least partial dewatering of the treated material. Alternatively, the dewatering station comprises at least one piston or ram, which in use facilitates at least partial dewatering of the treated material. The apparatus may further comprise a sediment tank. The organic plant growth medium may be a potting mix, orchid mix, bulb mix, hanging basket mix, peat alternative and/or seedling propagation mix. |
