Abstract:

The purpose of the research is to reveal the physical and chemical properties of the compost produced by the garbage and the properties of the soil after mixing it. The research is important in providing safety for the human consumption of vegetables grown on the garbage compost. This research was conducted at Tishreen University Laboratories during the period (2/3/2017 - 2/4/2017) Through taking samples of the compost and it,s mixture with soil conducting laboratory tests to know the physical and chemical properties. The results showed the ability of the compost to improve the physical and chemical properties of the soil and the ratio of the heavy elements within the permissible limits. The study recommended using the compost to safe germination of vegetable seeds because its content of heavy metals is within permissible limits
