Abstract
Over the past several years compost production has increased dramatically in the agricultural, industrial, and municipal sectors. This expansion has been driven by increasing solid waste management costs, heightened public enthusiasm for organic matter recycling, and recognition that composting provides a way to manage manures and other organic solid wastes in an environmentally sound manner.
