While it appears that the majority of the focus of this conference is placed on sludge and municipal composting, I would be interested in discussing the more "garden-variety" (pardon the pun) of backyard composting applications. In particular, if anyone h as leads on studies done concerning the presence of herbicidal residues in yard wastes being an issue in the use of compost on food crops. Also, it would seem there is much said on the development of markets for composted materials...are there any studies /info on applications in the realm of community development and environmental rehabilitation (community gardens, erosion control, etc.)?

Thank you for your message, gainer!
(Could you please use shorter lines: the normal line width is somewhere

These matters have been discussed in the journal BioCycle, published by
Rodale Press (Emmaus, PA) and collected to a new book named "Composting
of Yard wastes" or something like it.
