Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study which seeks to answer the question "what effect does aeration and turning frequency have on the amount of phosphorus and nitrogen in finished compost?" Results include that "total phosphorus concentrations increased slightly during the compost process; Water-soluble phosphorus decreases from about 11.5 percent of total phosphorus to about 3.1 percent of total phosphorus after active composting was complete; The final water-soluble phosphorus concentration in compost that was not turned or aerated was twice as high as the compost that was aerated; Curing had no impact on water soluble phosphorus concentration; Total nitrogen concentration increased slightly in three treatments and decreased slightly in one treatment." |
