FIREFIGHTERS have successfully brought under control a major blaze at a grain storage depot which forced the Port of Cork to trigger its emergency response plan.
The blaze erupted at a large depot for the storage of animal grain in Ringaskiddy shortly after 8am today.
Plumes of smoke were visible over the deepwater port and up to 5km inland.
Flames were also visible above the large silo involved.
In response to the blaze, parts of the port have been evacuated as a precautionary measure.
Port of Cork confirmed to Independent.ie the blaze is now under control. We can confirm that a fire which broke out at a grain storage facility on the Ringaskiddy Deepwater Berth this morning is now under control and there are no reports of any casualties, a spokesperson said.
Campbell is also a convert to no-dig methods. He simply mulches the soil surface once a year, usually in winter or the start of spring, with compost.
“By top dressing, there’s always things pulling down the nutrients in the good-quality layer you put on. Worms come up, they eat it, they go down. There’s not really a need to dig it in. You shouldn’t think about feeding the plant, it’s the soil you need to look after first.”
Home-made compost is a vital part of this process and Campbell aims for a 50:50 ratio of carbon to nitrogen. The carbon is made up of mostly brown things: fallen leaves, cardboard and wood chips. Green produce, like uncooked veg trimmings, make up the nitrogen, along with kitchen leftovers.
