[USCC] Pelletizing equipment for compost

[John Cossham]

Hi Tamara 'n all,

I've never heard of pelletised compost, but can imagine why it might be a 
good idea, for compressing a low-density material for ease of transport, and 
for applying to land in a measured way.

I wonder if you could use a wood-pelleting machine?  These compress sawdust 
into wood pellets to use on automated feed woodstoves.

I expect a simple Google search will throw up manufacturers of such 
equipment, I can only offer http://www.nef.org.uk/logpile/
which does have some links to pelleting machines, some of which might be 
international, not just UK.
