Assessment of the effect of particle size and selected physico-chemical and biological parameters on the efficiency and quality of composting of garden waste

For composting of garden waste, particle size is an important factor for efficient degradation of lignocellulose compounds. The present study is aimed at investigating how particle size effects selected physicochemical and biological parameters such as temperature, moisture, total volatile solids lignin degradation, coliform reduction, germination index, and carbon dioxide evolution during the composting of garden waste. The garden waste was...
