The nutrient content of compost products varies widely; however, biosolids and animal manure based composts typically contain more total nutrition. The use of certain composts may reduce or eliminate the necessity to fertilize certain plants during the first 6 to 12 months following its application. In general, nutrients found in compost are in an ‘organic’ form thus released slowly as the compost decomposes, reducing nutrient movement off site.
