| Abstract:
The residues from fermentation of separately collected organic waste can be used in growing media after a short term composting process. On average their analysis shows better values than biological waste composts. Damages and reduced plant growth cannot be ruled out on sensitive plant species, in particular when using composts from residues of the KOMPOGAS-process. Mixtures of peat and BTA-composts or BIOSTAB-composts did well as a growing media in the experiments. | |
