The second test consisted in the incubation of the obtained compost in pots at the end of the maturation phase, in order to observe the possible presence of seeds capable of germinating and plant parts capable of sprouting. Four 45 g samples of final compost were mixed with peat and perlite at different ratios and were incubated in 8 L pots for 30 days in a heated glass greenhouse with natural light and regular watering in optimal conditions for germination (method adapted from FCQAO, 1994). Germinated seeds were counted distinguishing between monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous plants.
