United Kingdom: building a mobile compost reactor
Article Abstract:
The County Mulch Co in Ipswich, Suffolk, England, has developed a technology that combines the principles of closed and open windrow compost production. It uses two vessels with computerized covers that open up when oxygen level drops below decomposition levels. The vessels would be emptied at the designated area through the use of a tow vehicle. This project came about through the concerted efforts of businesses and government agencies.
