Standardizing Compost In Minnesota.

A recent White Paper commissioned by the Minnesota Composting Council (MNCC) highlights concerns over the lack of standardized compost used in state projects. Issues such as inconsistent quality, immature compost, and the presence of invasive species have led to hesitation in using compost. The paper recommends establishing a compost certification program to ensure quality and suggests adopting the national definition of compost approved by the American Association of Plant Food Control Officials. The MNCC is in discussions with the MN Crop Improvement Association to move these recommendations forward. [Extracted from the article]
