22 Conclusions Compost Blankets vs Conventional Soil Treatments Runoff Response Compost require significantly greater rainfall to produce runoff Composts produce significantly less runoff Erosion Composts show significantly less interrill erosion Compost show significantly less rill erosion than topsoil, but are no better than compacted embankment soil by Dr. Tom Glanville, Agricultural & Biosystems Engineering, Iowa State University 22
23 Conclusions Compost Blankets vs Conventional Soil Treatments Chemical Quality Significantly greater concentrations of some nutrients and metals in some composts Total mass of nutrients and metals in compost runoff significantly lower than in soil runoff Due to significantly lower runoff and interrill erosion by Dr. Tom Glanville, Agricultural & Biosystems Engineering, Iowa State University 23
24 Conclusions Composts Blankets vs Conventional Soil Treatments Vegetation Planted Species No difference between composts and soils Weed Growth Composts significantly less weed biomass Depth of Compost Application 5- vs. 10-cm Blankets Little difference between depths Compost Type Yard waste generally better at reducing runoff and erosion by Dr. Tom Glanville, Agricultural & Biosystems Engineering, Iowa State University 24
25 Compost Application Recommendations For erosion control - blanket applications preferred reduces application costs reduces weed competition Compost particularly useful for difficult construction situations Timing end of season too late for vegetation growth Extreme climatic conditions too wet or dry for vegetation growth Poor quality soils Difficult access for heavy equipment apply with blower truck Rilling considerations Avoid blanket placement in areas of concentrated water flow Aesthetics Highway officials reluctant to use composts containing visually undesirable components Environmental concerns Potential to reduce herbicide applications in environmentally sensitive areas by Dr. Tom Glanville, Agricultural & Biosystems Engineering, Iowa State University 25
