CORNELL Composting
This website provides access to a variety of composting educational materials and programs developed at Cornell University.
Everything you ever wanted to know about composting, but were afraid to ask?
Not quite, but we do hope we've assembled some useful information.
The Cornell Composting Website was developed by Tom Richard, Nancy Trautmann, Marianne Krasny, Sue Fredenburg and Chris Stuart.

This section outlines the basic science and engineering principles involved in the composting process. There are a number of calculations and experiments you can try out on your own.
A special section for students and teachers using composing in the classroom. Don't miss the section on "weird and unusual composting."
An annotated listing of written and audio visual publications, with prices and ordering information. Many slides and illustrations are also provided, so if you have a slow connection you may want to turn off automatic image loading.
Please direct all general inquiries to one of the resources on this list.
For general questions about composting, please browse this and other composting websites, or make use of the compost listserves.
