Abstract/Contents: | Presents "a telephone survey of citrus orchards, golf courses, landscaping service businesses, and ornamental plant growers in Florida. The survey questionnaire addresses issues such as problems experienced by compost users, sources of information about compost, barriers to using compost, and incentives for potential compost users." Results include that "in order to promote more widespread compost use, information and product quality are the key. All the other issues are part of or closely related to information and quality. Cost of compost application, availability and quality consistency, and the benefits of compost application are the crucial information that potential compost users want to have." |
