Re: Humus -- rural -> urban -> rural



Ann,

	The issue of composting vs. adding directly to the soil is an 
interesting one and there is at least one article  that discusses some of 
the chemical differences (Chromec, FW, and FR Magdoff. 1984. Alternative 
methods for using organic materials: Composting vs. adding directly to 
soil. J. Environ. Sci. and Health 19:697-711). However, it is an area 
that could use some more work.
