Analytical Lab Testing for Mix-Ratio Determination

Today we gathered food waste samples along with wood chips, cow manure, and paper waste from the commons. Duncan will be breaking down the samples so that they can be processed at the analytical soils lab here at the University of Idaho. Duncan should have this done within the next week or so.

Updated Waste Streams

The University of Idaho has recently started composting some of their food wastes produced by campus dining. Currently the amount of food waste that is being produced appears to much less than the amount described in the 2008-2009 U of I Waste Characterization Report. Modifications of our current design may need to be implemented in the coming weeks.
