(JP9503479-W)      Method of pasteurising, treatment or stabilisation of green organic material for use as a growing medium or as an ingredient for a growing medium, comprises (i) grinding natural green organic material to a max. dimension of less than 65mm including green organic material having a max. dimension of less than 6mm; (ii) mixing nutrients into the green organic material; (iii) adding water to the mixt. to achieve max. moisture content in the mixt.; (iv) forming a windrow of triangular cross-sectional configuration having a height of 1.5-2.5m, the amt. of nutrient and moisture being such that the internal temp. of the windrow reaches a max. of 70 C, sufficient to destroy pathogenic organisms, insects, fungi, propagative plant material and weed seeds; (v) turning over the outer layers of the windrow to complete the process.    USE -   The method uses all types of green organic material including timber pieces, foliage and grass. The green organic material is converted into a potting mix and allied prods..    ADVANTAGE -   The method is an effective, economical and permanent system for removal of green organic material from the solid waste stream destined for e.g. landfill.
