Re: [compost_tea] Re: Re: My compost
Kirk, I don't discount your concerns, but these
problems cannot be fixed at the back end. As long as
its legal to feed live stock problems chemicals then
they will reach the soil. The market place has no
financial incentive to fix the problems delivered to
the compost facility. As an operator we were required
to know what we received. Totally, utterly impossible,
everyone in the business and government knows that. As
long as our government believes that the market place
will fix everything with minimal government and the
market place we will have these types of problems and
so many others to numerous to mention. If you are
concerned, go to the source of the problem and fix
that and when a composter get the poop it won't be
hard to handle. We regularly received terrible
chemicals hidden in yard waste, if we let this get
into the compost we could be fined, shut down or
worse. The regulators understood our dilemma and were
fairly easy because if they did their job then there
would be no yard waste facility in business. Fix the
front end because you can not fix the back end.
