Garden waste was composted over a number of weeks in a windrow, and turned regularly to maintain aerobic conditions. The physical parameters of the composting material were measured, and at 1, 2, 3 and 4 weeks of processing samples were removed and incorporated into growth media. Ryegrass was grown
Six composts from different sources (wheat and barley straw; coniferous bark; mixed hop rape and bark; two from household garbage; mixed paper dust and sewage sludge) were characterized by chemical methods, including various forms of N and organic matter fractionation, and by microbiological methods
