											        				Studies have shown that composted solid waste could be easily used in place of manure in terms of
both its composition and effects to the soil and plant. Physical and chemical analysis (heavy metal) of these
composted solid waste should be repeated frequently in accordance with application method, time, and dose
for its successful usage in agriculture . In this article possibility of using composted solid waste in agriculture
is discussed.
