Official Website

of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania

    The .gov means its official.

    Local, state, and federal government websites often end in .gov. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania government websites and email systems use "pennsylvania.gov" or "pa.gov" at the end of the address. Before sharing sensitive or personal information, make sure you're on an official state website. 

    Composting recycles organic wastes into a valuable resource. It stabilizes organic materials and is easier to handle than manure, and can be stored safely, transported easily, and applied at a convenient time. For more information on the benefits of on-farm composting, please see this presentation from the 2009 PASA Farming for the Future Conference (PDF).
