Jacksons save 300 tonnes of CO2 /year

We have often thought that growing plants under glass during an English winter can hardly be described as eco-friendly so with the price of oil “never again to go below $ 100 /barrel" we needed no better excuse to change our energy source. We have in the past used coke, oil and then coal to heat our crops. As all the relevant pieces were still in place it has been comparatively straightforward to move back to burning bio mass.

Although bio mass comes in many different forms, - it can be defined loosely as anything that grew recently - for practical reasons we chose to use wood pellet brought in from English producers in 25 ton lots . These pellets, containing up to 4500kw/ton for the technically minded, are carried from bunker to boiler by timed augers and on arrival in the boiler are burned in something akin to a blacksmith's forge.

Although the stimulus for change was in part financial, the main benefit is to the environmental footprint of the nursery. As wood absorbed carbon from the atmosphere so recently, its release does not affect the overall levels in the air. On the other hand, if we were still burning a fossil fuel our CO2 footprint would be equivalent to 200 “car years” or 150 average homes, some 300 tons per year. So although we aren’t going to save the world on our own, you at least know your plants are now “carbon neutral”.

For the second season we accept plug and carry trays and pots for recycling, so customers can bring them to us or our drivers can be asked to collect them from our nursery customers. Trays must be clean of compost and tied into neat stacks. Again a small measure but this resource can easily be reused, and we are very aware that it's our children’s world we are seeking to protect.
