Council Call for Compost The Composting Council is building a reference of beneficial uses and applications of compost, which will include: water conservation; stream bank stabilization; wetlands restoration and construction; strip mine reclamation; depleted lands restoration; nutrient management; and contaminated soil remediation. If you know of an interesting project studying the benefits of compost in land management, the Council would appreciate any details you can provide. Please contact Martin Simson at 703-739-2401.
