The Effect of Weight Ratio on the Physiochemical Properties of Compost From Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) Sludge and Decanter Cake

POME sludge and decanter cake can be utilized as compost fertilizer since it contains various nutrients which is essential for the plant to grow. In this work, POME sludge and decanter cake were mixed at different weight ratio in the range of 2:8 to 8:2 and...
