47. Seed And Plant Sources For Medicinal Herbs And Botanicals
    composting For Home Gardens Grass clippings and leaves can be hauled tomunicipal or county composting facilities as one means of disposal.  
    http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/hil/hil-8100.html
    
    Extractions: North Carolina State University Gardeners have used compost for centuries. When materials such as leaves and grass clippings are composted, a microbial process converts plant wastes to a more usable organic amendment. Grass clippings and leaves can be hauled to municipal or county composting facilities as one means of disposal. However, many homeowners may find it more convenient and economical to compost these materials in their own backyards. In either case, the finished compost can be used as a soil amendment or mulch to improve most soils for gardens, landscape beds, lawn preparation or even as 15 % of a potting medium. This leaflet has been written to provide guidelines on how to build and maintain a compost pile. Decomposition of organic material in the compost pile is dependent on maintaining microbial activity. Any factor which slows or halts microbial growth will also impede the composting process. Efficient decomposition will occur if the following factors are used to fullest advantage. Aeration: Oxygen is required for microbes to efficiently decompose the organic wastes. Some decomposition will occur in the absence of oxygen (anaerobic conditions); however, the process is slow and foul odors may develop. Because of the odor problem, composting without oxygen is not recommended in a residential setting unless the process is conducted in a fully closed system. Turning the pile once or twice a month will provide the necessary oxygen and significantly hasten the composting process. A pile that is not mixed may take three to four times longer before it can be used. A well mixed compost pile will also reach higher temperatures which will help destroy weed seeds and pathogens.

49. Vermicomposting - Composting With Worms (107-97)
    The Cooperative Extension of Lancaster County. A factsheet on composting with worms, making a bin and other useful information.  
    http://lancaster.unl.edu/enviro/pest/factsheets/107-97.htm
    
    Extractions: Note: The information in this fact sheet is written for the inexperienced home vermicomposting enthusiast. It is not intended to be a reference for bins located in businesses, schools, and/or government agencies. Many gardeners compost both yard waste and kitchen waste with compost piles, sheet composting or some other method during the growing season. Fortunately, very little yard waste is generated during winter months when cold temperatures make composting difficult. However, usable kitchen waste is constantly being generated and must be disposed of. Vermicomposting is the process of using worms and micro-organisms to turn kitchen waste into a black, earthy-smelling, nutrient-rich humus. To Begin You need five basic ingredients to start vermicomposting: a container bedding water worms nonfatty kitchen scraps.

    http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/poulsci/techinfo/4Pst47.htm
    
    Extractions: Composting Poultry Mortality Proper disposal of mortality is one of the daily management responsibilities of a poultry producer. At normal mortality rates for commercial chicken or turkey flocks, producers must dispose of large quantities of birds. The weight and volume of carcasses that growers must deal with increases dramatically as poultry reach maturity (for example, 4 pounds each for broilers and 25 pounds for tom turkeys). Disposal pits, trench burial incineration, and rendering are common methods for disposing of the mortality. Recently, composting has been added to the list of available disposal options. The best method for a particular farm depends on a number of factors, such as cost, ability to meet design requirements, and suitability for the flock size and management system. For example, burial on the farm and placement in disposal pits are poor options in areas with a high water table or shallow rock formation because it would be difficult to meet design requirements. Landfill disposal is a poor option in most areas of the state because of new regulations and limited landfill capacity. This publication presents information on mortality disposal regulations and on the design, construction, and management of a mortality composter. Information on mortality disposal methods other than composting is provided in Poultry Science and Technology Guide No. 19

    Mow your lawn often and let the clippings lie. composting is a practical andconvenient way to handle your yard wastes. composting at Home. HYG1189-99.  
    http://ohioline.osu.edu/hyg-fact/1000/1189.html
    
    Extractions: Harry A. J. Hoitink Mow your lawn often and let the clippings lie. This is the best use for grass clippings. Composting is another solution. Composting is a practical and convenient way to handle yard trimmings such as leaves, grass, thatch, chipped brush, and plant cuttings. It can be easier and cheaper than bagging or paying to have them removed. Compost also improves your soil and the plants growing in it. If you have a garden, a lawn, trees, shrubs, or even planter boxes, you have a use for compost. Compost returns organic matter to the soil in a usable form. Organic matter in the soil improves plant growth by: stimulating the growth of beneficial microorganisms, loosening heavy clay soils to allow better root penetration; improving the capacity to hold water and nutrients particularly in sandy soils; and adding essential nutrients to any soil. Improving your soil is the first step toward improving plant health. Healthy plants help clean air, conserve soil, and beautify landscapes. How Does Composting Help the Environment?

    590 Woody Hayes Dr., Columbus, Ohio 43210. composting Swine MortalityPrinciples and Operation. AEX711-97. Dead Animal composting, Reality.  
    http://ohioline.osu.edu/aex-fact/0711.html
    
    Extractions: Terry Mescher Animal agriculture is faced today with discovering innovative ways to dispose of livestock mortality. This need has been brought on by the disappearance of rendering plants, concerns over burial and ground water pollution, and the economic cost and other issues related to incineration. Composting of dead animals is one option that is now available. This fact sheet is an overview of the principles of composting, and the management practices for composting swine mortalities. Principles Basics of Composting Composting is a natural process where bacteria and fungi decompose organic material in a predominantly aerobic environment. During the composting process, microorganisms break down organic materials into a stable mixture called compost. The compost resembles humus, and is an ideal soil amendment. Under controlled conditions, composting is usually done in two stages, primary and secondary composting. In the primary stage, a high rate of biological activity results in rapid composting and high temperatures in the pile. This is where most of the organic breakdown occurs. The secondary stage has lower biological activity resulting in slower composting and lower pile temperatures. The secondary stage allows the compost to complete the biological activity and stabilize, also called curing.

56. Braemar Community Composting Scheme
    Report prepared for Aberdeenshire Council by the Scottish Agricultural College.  
    http://www.sac.ac.uk/envsci/external/SEEF/Braemar.htm
    
    Extractions: Proposed changes Aberdeenshire Council commissioned SAC, with the approval of ENTRUST, to investigate the feasibility and financial consequences of a demonstration project for centrally composting the biodegradable municipal waste fraction from a remote rural village. The Council wished to consider the impact of reducing the amount of waste to be collected from a rural village by composting the biodegradable fraction: Braemar was chosen for this study as: Its distance from landfill results in high haulage costs for waste, so reduction in quantities of material to be landfilled could reduce collection and disposal costs and compensate for the extra costs of separate collection and composting.
