Abstract
A project was conducted to understand the effects of biosolids, bulking agents, and mixing ratios on windrow biosolids composting. Sixteen windrows were created; temperature, oxygen, and moisture were monitored. At the end of the composting cycle, heavy metals, pathogens, and agronomic parameters were tested for in the products.
