Evaluation of Compost "Tea" for Reuse Opportunities (1997 & 1998)

Summary:

Liquid runoff, or "compost tea", is generated during the composting process and must be contained and treated. Samples of runoff from a compost facility during three storm events were analyzed for several constituents and properties to determine if the product would be commercially viable. The product compared favorably to several organic nutrient supplements currently available.
