Environment & Water

Rain water is collected from the glasshouses and stored in a 14000m3 reservoir. This water is then used to irrigate the crops. Reed beds have been added to the reservoir to encourage wildlife such as swans and ducks who nest on the reed beds. In addition to the reservoir itself, it is planned to create a small wetland area to further encourage wildlife such as frogs, toads and newts etc.

Sterilizing and Reusing Irrigation

In the newest glasshouses a system of collecting any runoff from watering the crop has been introduced. This is then sterilized using heat and reused. This combined with the roof water collection has allowed Eric Wall Ltd to more than halve its borehole extraction per m2 of growing area.
