| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles the composting operations at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, that is operated by Reedy Creek Energy Services (RCES). Describes annual plant and turfgrass bioassays using the compost. Concludes that "RCES has significantly reduced biosolids disposal costs by developing an effetive in-house composting operation. All of the biosolids produced at the wastewater treatment facility now can be transferred to the composting facility for stabilization and maturation. Moreover, the operation produces horticulture-grade compost. The compost is appropriate for use in planting beds when matured for 56 days, and for application to turf when matured 84 days. Production of horticulture-grade compost provides RCES with a reliable end user in Walt Disney World Horticulture. Alternatively, RCES is now positioned to sell its product at a price greater than it previously sold immature compost to the broker if production exceeds what the horticulture division needs. Walt Disney World Horticulture benefits from RCES's compost operation by accessing compost of equal or better value than it previously obtained from outside vendors at a lower cost. Eventually, the compost will be used as a peat substitute when annual plant beds are replaced. Horticulture may achieve additional cost reductions if compost used in planting beds reduces soil replacement rates, watering requirements and fertilization application." |
