| Abstract/Contents: | Describes a demonstration of compost use in Concord, New Hampshire, stating that the "goal of the project was to show that use of good quality compost would improve turf growth around state buildings when compared to the typical turf management currently employed." Details the experimental methods used, stating that [the] plot was divided into four smaller treatment plots...[where] three plots were treated with different soil amendments/fertilizers (biosolids compost, chemical fertilizer, and leaf and yard trimmings) and then seeded wih a perennial ryegrass. States that "it...seems that both the biosolids and yard trimmings composts were superior to chemical fertilizer for establishing turf...[and] if turf health and production are the primary goal, compost is a superior soil amendment for overall soil health and enhancement of plant growth." |
