| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the composting of organic materials, suggesting that "uses for this material in the landscape industry are increasing as more material becomes available." Explains that "the use of compost has a major problem - inconsistency in quality." Summarizes an "incident where a parks department was misled by a compost supply company." Notes that "due to the lack of any regulations stipulating what is compost and the high variability in materials, it is strongly suggested that some certificate of analysis be provided by the supplier before a contract to purchase is made." |
