Compost for soil application and compost for growing media

Soil properties of importance are dry bulk density, organic matter content, nutrient content and waterholding capacity.Rooting media properties of importance are pH, EC, water retention, water uptake rate, porosity, stability,shrinkage and nitrogen fixation.Miscommunication between producers and user groups can be avoided by measuring the relevantproperties using methods users are familiar with.Special attention is needed to interpret total nutrients, extracted nutrients and organic matter content.
