Environment
Kuhn Compost is dedicated to using compost as a strategy in manure management for feedlots, waste management for urban areas and providing an all natural soil enhancing product for agriculture, industrial and residential uses.
With the use of windrow technology, composting helps reduce volumes of waste, creating a concentrated product that can be hauled further from the source economically, while spreading out nutrient loads. Whether compost is being used in a potato field, lawn topdressing or oilfield reclamation, the need for chemical fertilizer can be reduced and valuable organic matter and carbon can help rejuvenate stagnant soils.
What is compost?
“Compost is a biological degradation of organic matter into a stabilized humus form.”
Compost can be produced from most organic sources like manure and kitchen waste. As manure management becomes more strict and landfills begin to fill up, compost will be an integral part of waste reduction while maintaining a valuable product in return.
