Uses of Compost in Potting Mixes
Horttechnology, 2005Co-Authors: Kimberly MooreAbstract:The ornamental horticulture industry Uses a variety of materials as ingredients in growing substrates for many ornamental plants. There are many attributes that make growing substrates effective, including good aeration and drainage, availability at an acceptable price, and chemical attributes conducive for plant growth. In recent years there has been a trend in which more traditional organic components, such as Canadian sphagnum peat, have been partially replaced by an increasing array of waste-product Compost. Plant response to increasing quantities of Compost in the potting mix, and to different types of Compost are variable. This paper reviews some important issues in the utilization of urban waste Compost products.

Organic Compost and Manufactured Fertilizers: Economics and Ecology
Issues in Agroecology – Present Status and Future Prospectus, 2011Co-Authors: David C. Weindorf, James P. Muir, Cesáreo Landeros-sánchezAbstract:Compost is a highly diverse group of organic soil amendments which provides substantial nutritive fertility to soils. The benefits of Compost addition to soils are vast and have been well documented by a growing body of research. Composts are manufactured in a variety of methods and scales from simple localized plots to large scale commercial operations. This review examines the role of organic matter in soils, the process of Composting, and the physical, chemical, and biological properties of Compost. The global use of Compost and its agro-ecological implications is explored. The review concludes with appropriate Uses of Compost, its comparison to traditional commercial fertilizer, as well as some limitations for its proper use.
