Effect of pre-composting and vermicomposting on compost characteristics [PDF]

open access: possibleEuropean Journal of Soil Biology, 2007
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of thermophilic pre-composting followed by vermicomposting on compost characteristics compared with thermophilic pre-composting and windrow composting. Source segregated household waste was thermophilically composted (14 days) to sanitise the waste.

Composting parameters and compost quality: a literature review

Organic Agriculture, 2017
Economic growth and rising food consumption in the world have led to increased production of organic wastes due to an important intensification of the agricultural production systems. The analysis of macro elements (nitrogen [N], phosphorus [P], and potassium [K]) in organic wastes reveals that the economic loss is significant with the intensification ...

Composting and Compost

2013
Composting is a complex biological process which, when engineered and controlled, can deliver a high quality product which returns nutrients to the soil and improves its structure. This chapter looks at the fundamental processes which drive the composting process and then the key features which the process needs to deliver a quality product.

Evaluation of Compost Activators for Composting Grass Clippings

Compost Science & Utilization, 1996
The effects of seven manufactured commercially available activators were evaluated for their efficiency in the composting of yard trimmings (grass clippings/wood chip mixture). Two naturally available additives, and a control (absence of activator) were also evaluated.

Impact of Composting Type on Composts Organic Matter Characteristics

1996
Three MSW-composts (C1, C2 and LC2) originating from separately collected organic household wastes were studied. C1 and C2 had undergone a traditional windrow composting with different maturation times. LC2 was a lumbricompost: the first 2 months of maturation had been replaced by an earthworm digestion.
