Quality control for special markets

Article Abstract:

The enterprising founders of Greendell Farms Inc capitalized on used bark and started a profitable business. The company provides mulches and composts made up of bark, animal and yard waste, rice hulls and peat. Its markets include landscapers, nurseries, zoos, topsoil mixers and greenhouses, sometimes requiring special orders. These orders are met through a special separation and mixing process, experimentation and control. Used machinery are modified to suit the company's needs and save on expenses.

Innovative waste treatment in a Midwest cornfield

Article Abstract:

Garfield creator Jim Davis recently tranferred his headquarters to the US Midwest. Paws Inc's new Muncie, IN address however, initially lacked an effective wastewater treatment facility. Together with horticulturist Russ Vernon, Davis put up a solar aquatic waste treatment system that purifies wastewater while simultaneously growing plants for commercial use. Two years after its initial operation in Sept 1990, Davis' $125,000 investment seems to be an innovative success.
