- W363520131 abstract "Lots of backyard gardeners have tried composting tossing clippings and leafy kitchen waste into piles that are turned and fed periodically until a crumbly mulch results. helps the plants grow, saves money on fertilizer and recycles waste that otherwise would have gone into the trash or down the drain. On a larger scale, that's what is happening at the University of Arizona's dairy at the Campus Agricultural Center in Tucson. Four years ago, after paying to haul 1500 cubic yards of manure yearly from the dairy, manager Dan Foster switched to composting. Since then, the rich mix of manure and clippings from the College of Agriculture and Life Science farm on north Campbell Avenue has served as a soil amendment for landscaping needs both on and off campus. We have a dairy with 300 cows, says Tracy Everingham, who succeeded Foster as farm manager. It used to take one of our full -time employees nearly half his time to load the manure and haul it away. Some of it went to a farm in Marana or to other places with active farming and gardening. When they had all they could use, the rest went to the landfill. Disposal costs amounting to $1000 a month included the employee's wages, the truck and dumping fees. Although they are still refining their techniques after four years, the dairy is producing such rich compost already that others now are willing to pay the cost to haul it away. It's the mix of materials that makes the difference. Farm supervisor Ken Kriederman says the farm's sources for compost ingredients include a lot more than the manure from the brown Swiss and Holstein cows." @default.
