The Development of Sustainable Growing Media Components from Composted Specific BIo-Waste Streams

摘要

This paper describes a feasibility study into the preservation of plant structural remains, which can then be used as components of growing media for containerised plant production. The drivers for the work are both the need to use bio-waste streams rather than disposing of them to landfill and the need to find long-term sustainable components for growing media that have properties as beneficial as the peats currently used.
