Each day around the world millions of tons of organic wastes are
generated. Too often these go into land fills or the water system either
through direct dumping or leacing. Meanwhile, our soils are depleted,
poisoned, salted, and demineralized as their vital life forms die, humus
erodes away, and the vital minerals depleted.

Both of these concerns should cross all industry, government, and
agriculture boundaries through the concerted efforts of researchers,
agriculturalists, industry, government, manufacturers, farmers,
horticulturists, landscape designers, municipal planners, and all! This
is one case of where a true synergy can be developed through using
today's communications capabilities to discuss, develop, share,
implement, and educate.

Based upon interest that has been brought to my attention by people
around the world there is a great need for a discussion list to provide
a forum for those at all levels to contribute, share, learn, and
propogate the development of new ideas, systems, and procedures that
include the entire cycle from organic waste generation, through
composting, to final distribution and integration into the soils.

This is not a commercial venture, but, rather, a serious attempt to
provide a platform for all to assist in the development of and usage of
organic waste composting methodologies on a medium to very large scale
in providing systems that would be safe, scalable, manageable, and
practical. There is currently no such broad ranging forum specifically
for large scale, professional organic waste composting or its inherent
contributions to soil development and sustainable agricultural
development.
