Examples of compost

• Compost is like dung – full of nutrients for the soil. 

• Crops were fertilized using animal manure and compost. 

• People also use animal waste, dead plants, and old food to make compost. 

• People use compost in their gardens to make the soil better. 

• A good place for the leaves is the compost heap. 

• All compost, dung, soil, and ashes arising on the farm were to be bestowed upon it. 

• It grows best in a compost of loam, peat, and sand, with a south or west aspect. 

• Press this compost firmly into the pots to within half an inch of the top. 

• Such a pile of rotting vegetable matter is called a compost pile. 

• Recyclable material is sold to wholesalers and organic material is composted and then sold in the market.

• The cover crop is periodically clipped and composted in situ.

• Like sulphur-coated urea, composted dairy manure and poultry litter are considered slow release fertilizers.

• During that time period, the ammonium loss from sulphur-coated urea was significantly greater than that measured from the composted dairy manure.

• The ammonium transported in runoff from the composted dairy manure was somewhat consistent for the 10-week study.

• Treatments include ammonium nitrate (closed circles), sulphur-coated urea (open circles), composted dairy manure (closed triangles), and poultry litter (open triangles).

• The possible contribution of a composting inoculum on decomposition and nutrient content was evaluated by subjecting the mixtures to inoculation.

• Samples were collected from each treatment at 4-week intervals from the start of the composting process until 16 weeks.

• Increasing the proportion of banana residue in the mixture (as in the 2: 1: 1 treatments) means lengthening the composting period to 8 weeks.

• After the pulping the coffee beans are washed and the remaining pulp is usually composted.

• Sustained coffee production will, therefore, require correction of this negative balance by regular application of inorganic fertilizers and/or large amounts of nutrient-rich composts.

• Landfarming is similar to composting systems for destroying organic or biological sludges from municipal and industrial waste water treatment systems.

• Nutrient losses in surface and subsurface flow from pasture applied poultry litter and composted poultry litter.

• Effect of composted organic amendments on the incidence of bacterial wilt to tomato.

• The nutrient supplying capacity of banana residues in combination with leguminous materials and chicken manure was investigated in composting studies.
