Biodiversity
The focus of Woods End’s microbiology laboratory is to provide highly qualified testing and consulting relative to microbiological quality and safety of composts and other organic soil-amendment products. People frequently ask- why test compost microbiologically? Microbes confer many very positive traits on compost. They are also a source of concern with regard to pathogens. Compost is considered desirable because it is thought to be pathogen-free. Thus, examining a compost for absence of pathogens or pathogen-indicators is one of the most certain ways to assure that this is the case. Used intensively in horticulture and agriculture, there should be no reason that the product would be unsafe.
