Control Laboratories: Compost Testing: End Uses

End Uses

Compost can be used to improve agriculture soils, in formulating potting mixes, mulch or blankets, sediment berms, bio-remediation, bio-filters, nitrogen scrubbers and many other uses. For most end uses it must be formulated with other materials to form a final suitable product. Based on the results of the Complete Compost Analysis and test results from the receiving material(s) a mix is determined. Once mixed a test of the final product to determine if additional adjustments are needed before use is recommended.
