Mixing it up!

Article Abstract:

A key to successful aerobic composting is the availability of mechanical mixers for efficient materials handling to avoid bottlenecks and to deal quickly with putrescible and odorous feedstocks. These units facilitate making adjustments to the mix and yield a uniformity that benefits the composting process.
