Comparing yard waste and sludge compost
Article Abstract:
The predictability of nutrient contents and the effects on the soil of yard waste compost and sludge compost were compared. Sludge compost has long been known for its predictability and has thus gained wide use and acceptance. On the other hand, the results of the study showed that the effects of yard waste compost are unpredictable. To avoid setbacks in market acceptability of yard waste compost, it is suggested that management try to ensure a predictable material before full-scale production and marketing.
