Thank you, Cria!

By now, I am interested in information concerning the economics of sewage
sludge and/or slaughtering waste composting, especially by the use of
Rutgers strategy (Finstein et al) in windrow composting using aeration
when needed for heating/cooling (so that the optimum temperature could be
in 55 C).

I've recently received the following report (summary in En, otherwise in Fr):

MARTEL, J.-L.: Quality and marketing of urban sludge composts in the EEC.
Qualite et commercialisation des composts urbains dans le CEE. St Quentin
Yvelines: Agro-Developpement S.A., Nov. 1988. 78 pp.

I'm also interested in the economics and other information on the use of
composting heat and the composting of fox feces.
