Resources
A range of other resources related to the use of compost are available. We’ve provided links to information on our project partners, other research units, the Recycled Organics Library and certification bodies such as Standards Australia and Compost Australia. If you’re after detailed research reports, check whether they are available online at the Recycled Organics Library, or contact our industry development officers. A list of publications on the use of compost is provided – we’d be pleased to send copies to you.
Recycled Organics Library
The Recycled Organics Library provides a searchable database of information on the recovery and management of compostible organic materials and the manufacture and use of recycled organic materials. Many articles and publications are accessible online.
Recycled Organics Unit
This is the site of the New South Wales centre for organic resource management, information, research and development, demonstration and training. Use the ‘Tools for Agriculture’ link on the left sidebar to access the ‘Compost Mulch Nutrient Budget Contribution Calculator for Vineyards and Orchards’. This calculator can be used to estimate values of N, P and K in composted mulch applied to vineyards or orchards to enable adjustment of fertilizer inputs.
Compost Australia
Compost Australia is the peak national body for the organics processing and recycling industry. The goal of Compost Australia is to support a professional and sustainable industry by establishing and implementing an industry development plan.
