| Abstract/Contents: | "Composts are made from many different materials, including municipal solid waste, leaves and grass clippings (yard trimmings), sewage sludge (biosolids), animal manures, paper mill by-products, and food waste, just to name a few. A compost with a proven track record can take some of the guess work out of the selection process provided that the product is consistent from batch to batch. If you are unfamiliar with the product, be sure to examine it for color, objectionable objects, particle size, and odors. It may be worth your while to visit the site where the compost is stored to make sure it is not contaminated with weeds or weed seeds. Other important considerations are moisture content, organic matter content, C:N ratio, nutrients, pH, metals and soluble salts." |
