Cation exchange capacity increased from 63 to 181 cmol/kg OM, and humic substances content increased markedly from 38 to 71% of the organic matter, while the C/N ratio decreased from 27.1:1 to 8.7:1 during the 147-d composting process. ...

At the beginning of the 18th century we find a detailed description of soil improvement by organic materials (148). The author has distinguished between peat moss as an amendment for clay soils and animal dung as an ammendment for sandy soils. An elaborate procedure for the use of partially fermented cow manure in a frame covered with glass to form hotbeds has been described in the 18th century (86). This procedure enabled fast germination and growth of many species as a result of soil warming. During periods of cold weather the frames were kept closed to retain the heat produced by organic matter decomposition. Loudon, in his well-known ”Encyclopedia of Gardening” listed in 1839 many organic materials used as plant growth media in greenhouses (77). Loudon also gave detailed recipes for their composting and stated that in many cases mixing different ingredients is preferable from the standpoint of plant growht. Loudon mentioned that peat per se did not possess any nutritional value but nonetheless, a grower could use only sphagnum peat, loam and sand to satisfy the needs of all plants.

Sewage treatment effluent is the most readily available water source and provides a partial solution to the water scarcity problem. National policy calls for the gradual replacement of freshwater because of the decision to increase the use of effluent and set up a committee to review existing regulations and to recommend new regulations for effluent use for irrigation or disposal to stream and receiving water. The recommended values were designed to minimize potential damage to water sources.
