Latest WRAP Bulletin on Compost and Digestate Use in Agriculture
The research shows:
- A direct link between the amount of organic matter added by compost (whether green or green/food compost) and improved soil condition. This included an increase in soil organic matter levels.
- Compost applications have shown to reduce soil shear strength which will make cultivation easier to perform and reduce associated fuel costs and machinery wear.
