There are several different types and methods of composting. Management of a small backyard bin, composting livestock by-product or maintaining large volumes of horticultural debris can turn wastes into a valuable resource. Depending on your desired end product and its usage, we can manage the development of high quality compost. The finished product can be used for various types of applications such as soil amending or top dressing lawns. Several monitoring and testing methods can be employed to measure the progression and ensure that the material is properly composted, stabilized and free of pathogens while containing high levels of biological activity and plant available nutrients. Proper management of compost is an important step in any sustainable program and provides many benefits.
