The Lobster Shop are committed to reduce waste and make use of all the products we can arising from our shellfish processing where possible. Our initial goal was to use the Lobster & Crab shells for a garden fertiliser, however, upon researching this idea we came across fantastic work being done by Martin Cessford of Angus Horticulture. Martin and colleagues have been looking at utilising shellfish waste as a means to improving soil health for several years. The composting of shellfish waste, and subsequently used as a soil improver has a range of benefits including the natural control of Potato Cyst Nematode (PCN). This pest is a significant problem for potato growers, particularly as pesticide options for managing PCN have been reduced over recent years. The chitin present in shells acts as a food source for beneficial microbes in the soil, which subsequently attack the cysts of PCN, allowing natural control to occur at a much faster rate than usual.

We are delighted to be supplying Angus Horticulture with the shells so they can continue their trials and potentially have a great soil health improver ready to combat PCN and other soil-borne pests and diseases of crops, and continue the growth of great Scottish tatties to accompany your seafood dishes for years to come.

What to do if (and when) the government bans the use of chemicals on golf courses and sports fields?
We have the solution; Macmillan Methodology allows for chemical free courses even in harsher climates. Estonian Golf and Country Club has been chemical free for several years under Macmillan Methodology. They along with Estonian Greenkeepers Association organised an Autumn conference for greenkeepers and sports turf managers from Nordic countries to discover how excellent sports turf is possible without the use of a single pesticide.

Ian MacMillan explained how to use soil biology to build plant immunity and allow plants to deal with harsh Nordic winters without the use of harmful chemicals. It is also possible to breed poa annua out of your putting surfaces using nutrition and plant biology. With delegates from Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland and Estonia learning about chemical free solutions it was an exciting trip for Stephen Appleton from Angus Horticulture.

Our very own Derek MacDonald has been learning the tools of the green keepering trade in sunny Ireland. Derek has spent several days in training at some stunningly beautiful golf courses.

With record beating temperatures for the region, Derek has undertaken a range of seminars and activities which will allow us at Angus to better understand green keepers’ requirements for turf nutrition.
