What are the advantages of making one's own compost? Is there really a benefit to using compost as opposed to building soil organic matter through other means? How can the decision about compost making affect a farm's economics? Part of the NOFA Guides series, this manual will help answer these questions, and is specifically intended to address the conditions faced by organic farmers in the Northeast.

  • Principles and biology of composting
  • Temperature, aeration and moisture control

  • Compost and the law
With extended appendices including a recipe calculator, potting mix recipes, and a sample compost production budget sheet.
