| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the production and use of compost at Foster Ranch, an organic farm in Hollister, California. Describes the inputs used in making the compost, including dairy manure, yard trimmings, clay soil, finished compost, and culls from the ranch's vegetable packing operation. Describes the composition of the finished compost and the application rates and timing. States that the owner "figures it costs him around $26/ton to produce the compost, including equipment amortization, labor and inputs. Commercial compost of a similar quality is available, but when the cost of hauling is added on, he believes that it would be significantly more expensive." |
