The remaining refuse is aerated in a special "digester," which decomposes it while also killing bacteria and smells. The addition of phosphates, nitrates and potash to the mix produces a high-yield fertilizer, which is being sold commercially within a 200-mile radius of the city. Of course, the company's capacity is too small to make more than a dent in New York's huge mound of garbage...
