| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses University of Florida researcher Monica Ozores-Hampton's plan to "match up farmers who want to do composting with counties, municipalities and organics recyclers who can provide the raw materials." Explains that Florida's soil is very poor for crop farming and so organic matter is needed. Focuses on the composting program at C&B Farms, Clewiston, FL. Also profiles Rocky Robbins and his south Florida compost business, R&D Soil Builders, Inc. |
