Abstract/Contents: | Many Massachusetts communitites are beginning to use other forms of yard waste, especially grass clippings in this article, in order to divert a larger fraction of waste from the landfill. Grass clipping compost was tested in a three year study, and was compared with the more widely used leaf compost, and was found to be successful. |
