This study was undertaken to evaluate the effects of Empty Palm Oil Fruit Bunch (EFB) compost as a growing medium in comparison to other media with lettuce (Lactuca saliva) plant used as the model plant. The study was conducted at Universiti Putra Malaysia Bintulu Campus. The study was conducted on 28th November 2006 ended on 6th December 2006 whereby four media treatments each with 5 replications were evaluated during that duration. The media components used in this study, in addition to EFB compost, were top soil, sand, and decomposed chicken litter. These components were mixed in the required proportion to make the required media of the required treatment.
