Published by City Farmer, Canada's Office of Urban Agriculture Urban Home Composting Essential to the success of any urban agriculture project is the condition of our city's soil. Convincing city people to turn scraps of food and garden waste into soil-nourishing compost is one of the best projects a group can start. If all our urban organic waste was turned back into crop nourishing humus, think how fertile the ground would become and what good crops we could grow. City Farmer has researched and promoted the best methods of urban composting since the fall of 1989 . We operate the Compost Hotline for the City of Vancouver and the Greater Vancouver Regional District and we maintain the Vancouver Compost Demonstration Garden (2150 Maple Street, Vancouver, BC V6J 3T3 Canada) for the City of Vancouver. Spring on the Compost Hotline We have published brochures, a handbook titled Urban Home Composting, Rodent-Resistance and Environmental Health Standards , (cost $6.00) and City Farmer's Compost Research "Answer's to Questions Received by the Compost Hotline" (Cost $12.00).

26. Worm Composting Instructions, Diet, And Harvesting Details on worm composting, vermiculture or vermicomposting. Information harvesting.Worm composting (Vermiculture). Introduction. http://www.mastercomposter.com/worm/wormcomp.html

Worm Composting (Vermiculture) Introduction Many municipalities prefer that food wastes NOT be composted in the backyard compost pile. This restriction helps with issues of pests and odors. A popular way to compost food wastes and small amounts of paper is a worm compost bin. Red worms (commonly called red wigglers) and brown-nose worms can be used to compost food scraps and paper. Worm compost bins have been called organic garbage disposals. The worms live in paper bedding into which kitchen scraps are placed. They eat both the paper and the kitchen scraps and excrete worm castings. Castings are far more potent than compost made from a backyard pile. There are more nutrients in castings, and they are in a form that makes them even more readily available to vegetation. People often question why this process doesn't smell. It is actually the rotting portions of decaying food that stink. In worm composting, the worms eat the rotting portion. The fresh portion is then exposed to the air and begins to rot. The worms eat it as it rots. As long as you don't put in too much food for the worms, they will eat the food as it rots. Therefore, there is no rotting food left to create an odor. (If your bin smells, you are providing the wrong kinds of food or too much food.) Use the following links to access complete instructions on setting up and operating a worm compost bin: The Worm Bin The Worms Setting Up House Feeding the Worms ... Harvesting Castings The Worm Bin You can either build a bin or buy one.

Ohio State University Extension Fact Sheet Horticulture and Crop Science 2021 Coffey Rd., Columbus, Ohio 43210-1086 Composting at Home HYG-1189-99 Frederick C. Michel, Jr., Joe E. Heimlich, Harry A. J. Hoitink Mow your lawn often and let the clippings lie. This is the best use for grass clippings. Composting is another solution. Composting is a practical and convenient way to handle yard trimmings such as leaves, grass, thatch, chipped brush, and plant cuttings. It can be easier and cheaper than bagging or paying to have them removed. Compost also improves your soil and the plants growing in it. If you have a garden, a lawn, trees, shrubs, or even planter boxes, you have a use for compost. Why Does Compost Make Soil Healthier? Compost returns organic matter to the soil in a usable form. Organic matter in the soil improves plant growth by: stimulating the growth of beneficial microorganisms, loosening heavy clay soils to allow better root penetration; improving the capacity to hold water and nutrients particularly in sandy soils; and adding essential nutrients to any soil. Improving your soil is the first step toward improving plant health. Healthy plants help clean air, conserve soil, and beautify landscapes. How Does Composting Help the Environment?

The Composting Council Research and Education Foundation The US Composting Council Test Methods for the Examination of Composting and Compost Compost Analysis Proficiency Seal of Testing Assurance The TMECC Project TMECC provides detailed protocols for the composting industry to verify the physical, chemical, and biological condition of composting feedstocks, material in process and compost products at the point of sale. Material testing is needed to verify product safety and market claims. TMECC provides protocols to sample, monitor, and analyze materials at all stages of the composting process, i.e., prior to, during and after composting to help maintain process control, verify product attributes, assure worker safety, and to avoid degradation of the environment in and around the composting facility. Standardized methods for testing and evaluating compost quality are needed by compost producers, state regulatory and permitting agencies, compost product marketing specialists, state and commercial testing laboratories, and agriculturalists, horticulturalists, landscapers, and other consumer sectors. Compost and compost blends are subject to extensive interstate transit and use on public and private lands. Compost is produced from a variety of feedstocks and thus provides for beneficial use of a variety of by-products: Food Processing Residuals —compostable material remaining after fruit, vegetables, grains, nuts, and meat are processed for consumption.

34. Seed And Plant Sources For Medicinal Herbs And Botanicals composting For Home Gardens Grass clippings and leaves can be hauled tomunicipal or county composting facilities as one means of disposal. http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/hil/hil-8100.html

Composting For Home Gardens Revised 4/99 Author Reviewed 4/99 HIL-8100 Larry Bass Extension Horticultural Specialist Department of Horticultural Science North Carolina State University Gardeners have used compost for centuries. When materials such as leaves and grass clippings are composted, a microbial process converts plant wastes to a more usable organic amendment. Grass clippings and leaves can be hauled to municipal or county composting facilities as one means of disposal. However, many homeowners may find it more convenient and economical to compost these materials in their own backyards. In either case, the finished compost can be used as a soil amendment or mulch to improve most soils for gardens, landscape beds, lawn preparation or even as 15 % of a potting medium. This leaflet has been written to provide guidelines on how to build and maintain a compost pile. Decomposition of organic material in the compost pile is dependent on maintaining microbial activity. Any factor which slows or halts microbial growth will also impede the composting process. Efficient decomposition will occur if the following factors are used to fullest advantage. Aeration: Oxygen is required for microbes to efficiently decompose the organic wastes. Some decomposition will occur in the absence of oxygen (anaerobic conditions); however, the process is slow and foul odors may develop. Because of the odor problem, composting without oxygen is not recommended in a residential setting unless the process is conducted in a fully closed system. Turning the pile once or twice a month will provide the necessary oxygen and significantly hasten the composting process. A pile that is not mixed may take three to four times longer before it can be used. A well mixed compost pile will also reach higher temperatures which will help destroy weed seeds and pathogens.
