Report

Data from this partnership demonstration project compares the effectiveness of using composted mulch generally broadcast in three California vineyard plots vs. the traditional straw treatment to control soil erosion. The report includes data tables, graphs, and charts as well as cost-benefit analyses, specifications for mulch production, and application guidelines. The partnership project was funded by the California Integrated Waste Management Board.
