Finishing - The type of finishing required is largely dependent on the method of marketing or disposal of the compost. Often, the compost will be mechanically dried to a moisture content of less than 30% for agricultural or horticultural use. The consistency of the compost is also important. For this reason, regrinding and screening of the compost may be done to remove large pieces of debris.
When sold in small quantities, the compost may be pelletized before bagging. Sometimes the compost is pasteurized to kill pathogens before sale to the farmer. In contrast, if the compost is to be disposed off by landfilling no finishing will be required at all.
