Re: Re: Interest in Commercial Composting
The University of California Sustainable Agriculture (UC SAREP) published a
$5, 40-page publication "Organic Soil Amendments and Fertilizers" in November
1992. It may not answer all the commercial inquiries you get re. composting,
but it's very useful and is easy to read and understand (it also has good
charts, tables and a few great photos.) The authors are David E. Chaney, UC
SAREP annual cropping systems analyst (dechaney@ucdavis.edu); Laurie E.
Drinkwater, formerly a systems ecologist at the UC Davis Dept. of Vegetable
Crops now at Rodale Research Institute; and Stuart Pettygrove, soils
specialist in the Dept. of Land, Air and Water Resources at UC Davis. To
