Green waste" compost from a municipal composting plant ... 

Green waste compost Low fertility. Dig in or mulch. Available from large-scale municipal recycling centers may be low in nitrogen but high in potassium. 

The solid output of the mash separation unit has a particle size >10 mm and joins the oversized fraction of the first 80 mm screening step for composting. They are mixed with the solid digestate and with the oversized lignocellulosic fraction originating from a parallel green waste composting process.

Design the product for a secondary use so that it has a market value at end of life. Composting of municipal green waste to produce garden compost is an attempt to balance waste disposal costs by producing a valuable product. 

Denmark Organic household waste compost with no classification up to now. No quality criteria for green/yard waste compost necessary. 

Coarse-grade municipal compost (recycled green waste), which is quicker to degrade than bark or wood chips. For perennial beds only. 

Left) Compost pile hygiene The heat generated by the process of decay will kill many pathogens, but material infected with certain very persistent diseases, such as clubroot, should be taken to a green waste recycling center.

One of the greatest threats to peat bogs is gardening, as most bagged multipurpose potting mix is peat-based. Peat has become a mainstay of these soils because it is consistent, sterile and low in nutrients. But when peat becomes waterlogged it forms a solid mass that plant roots find hard to penetrate, and it has no benefit as a soil conditioner or a mulch. In recent years, non-peat soils, based on coir, composted wood, bark and green waste and other natural materials, have become widely available.

The use of green yard waste compost on farmland can lead to a positive environmental impact with lower water usage, lower fertilizer usage, lower herbicide usage, and sequestration. Life cycle impact assessments of environmental concerns from production and application of composted products provide a net positive environmental impact. The use of composting process and products provides a reduction in GHG, human toxicity potential, ecotoxicity potential, and eutrophication potential due to lower use of fertilizers, herbicides, water, and electricity (LCA for Windrow Compost 2006).
