Recycled compost reduces phosphorus in soil

International scientists have found that vegetables grown using inorganic fertilisers, poultry manure, and based in metropolitan areas, show high levels of phosphorus.

Although it was found that over time, additional sources of nitrogen might be required, overall the compost reduced the need for inorganic fertilisers and led to healthier soil.
