| Abstract/Contents: | Presents the results of a study examining the effects of compost application on soil characteristics and turfgrass establishment. Composts studied include municipal solid waste, yard waste and wood chips. Compost applications were found to increase soil organic matter and quality of newly established turfgrass. It is suggested that compost may be useful on roadsides, where soil organic matter content tends to be poor. |
