Leaf mold compost reduces waste, improves soil and microbial properties, and increases tomato productivity
Abstract Soils in urban settings are often degraded, which can prevent growers from optimizing the health and productivity of their crops. In this study, we investigated whether amending soil with a locally made leaf‐mold compost could (a) improve soil chemical and biological properties, (b) increas...
