Cull Potato Composting
Summary
The goal of this project is to turn cull potatoes into a beneficial byproduct instead of a disposal problem. Cull potatoes will be composted with sawdust from local sawmills to achieve the optimum carbon:nitrogen ratio. The resultant compost will be utilized by farmers or marketed locally. Reduction in county “tipping fees” for dumping garbage at an area landfill is projected at 10 percent.
