| Abstract/Contents: | "The principal benefit of composting is to recover or recycle biodegradable materials from agricultural, industrial and municipal waste streams in an environmentally acceptable manner to produce a useful, marketable product. A second benefit is that the end product (compost) is a safe material which may easily be transported using regular commercial vehicles. The resulting material has many advantages and can be used in many ways." Discusses how to begin a composting system following certain guidelines. Gives benefits of using compost on sports fields for topdressing, construction or renovation instead of peat moss and recommendations on how to go about it. Projects that composting will be necessary in the future, due especially to landfills that have reached capacity. |
