Composting was tried successfully with two organic residues, namely grape seed and olive mill wastes. The resulting compost was then applied to a clay soil and a sandy soil having 0.98 % and 0.6 % organic matter content respectively, each having poor structural stability and unsuitable water retention dynamics. The purpose of the work was to ameliorate fertility and structure by evaluating structural stability, infiltration rate, hydraulic conductivity and soil respiration after compost application. Laboratory trials were conducted by amending the two soils with different amounts of either compost from grape seeds (GS compost) or compost from olive mill residues (OM compost) to increase the ...
