In this study, the possibility of composting a defined sub-strate mix composed of banana leaves, cardboard wastes and
Stenotaphrum dimidiatum
grass was assessed. The tem- perature of the second BCG mix run during the composting experiment peaked to 60.7°C and remained above 55°C for three days compared to the first BCG mix which reached a temperature of 55.1°C for only one day. This explained the absence of mycelial growth in the second run. The various parameters monitored and their respective variations and end values collectively support that the second composting experiment ran as a typical composting process and the final compost product was stable. The above findings reveal an opportunity for the commercial implication of
