Nursery Products Composting Process
Nursery Products receives treated biosolids from waste water treatment plants in covered trucks and turns it into safe and beneficial compost
Biosolids, which are 80-90% water, are mixed with green material (wood chips, tree trimmings, etc) and composted in a controlled process
