Abstract:
A method for producing compost having fertilizing activity from high ratio compost material having a weight ratio (C/N) of carbon (C) to nitrogen (N) of greater than 10.5, comprising the steps of:adding low ratio compost material having a weight ratio (C/N) of carbon (C) to nitrogen (N) of less than 10.5 to the high ratio compost material to form a mixed compost with a weight ratio (C/N) of 10.5 or less; andcarrying out a compost treatment of the mixed compost material by maintaining water content of the compost material, to produce a compost having a weight ratio (C/N) of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) of 9.5 or less on completion of the compost treatment.
