[USCC] Adding urea to land clearing vegetation

[Craig Coker]

Colleagues:

 

Does anyone have any good formulas for the amount of urea to add to woody
vegetative debris to adjust C:N ratio for composting? 

 

One OSU reference I found referring to BYC said 1 lb per CY of compost mix;
one yard waste facility I work with uses 50 lbs every 100' or so of 6' x 15'
windrow.  

 

Are there any other proven approaches you'd like to share?

 

Thanks,

Craig
