Using STA Certified Compost – Manufacturer Requirements: Test Results
Understanding Compost Technical Data Sheets
Since growing conditions and plant requirements vary, compost users can benefit from information that accurately characterizes the compost products they use. This data can help you to improve the way you use compost to best meet your particular needs and to fit your specific situation. Fortunately, all STA Certified Compost products come with Compost Technical Data Sheet (CTDS) upon request, which includes a variety of measures of that compost. This provides transparency about the quality and composition of the compost and the uses for which it is most suited. The Oregon State University Extension Service provides valuable insights on understanding test results.
