Advancing Composting Needs and Options: Assessing the Co-composting Potential of Feacal Sludge and Selected Yard Waste Fractions

Advancing Composting Needs and Options: Assessing the Co-composting Potential of Feacal Sludge and Selected Yard Waste Fractions

Composting is a nature’s way of recycling soil conditioners and nutrients, and the value of the resulting compost depends on the efficiency of the composting process. This study sets out to investigate the effectiveness of co-composting feacal sludge (FS) and selected fractions of yard waste (YW)....
