Abstract
In order to investigate the effect of vermicompost on physical and chemical properties of soil, an experiment was carried out in split plot based on complete randomized block design in three replications in Sari Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources University. The physical and chemical properties of soil included bulk density, particle density, total porosity, water holding capacity, field capacity, permanent wilting point, available water capacity, pH, organic carbon and electrical conductivity in soil. Six levels of fertilizer treatments (T1= control, T2= chemical fertilizer, T3= 20 tons vermicompost + 1/2 T2, T4 = 20 tons / hac vermicompost + 1/2 T2 , T5= 40 tons vermicompost + 1/2 T2 and T6= 40 tons / hac vermicompost) and three levels of application years, one year of fertilization (1385), two consecutive years of fertilization (1385 and 1386) and three consecutive years of fertilization (1385, 1386, 1387). The results of the study showed that the application of these treatments in soil were significantly effective in increasing the total porosity, water holding capacity, field capacity, permanent wilting point, available water capacity, organic carbon electrical conductivity and in decreasing the bulk density, particle density and pH compared to control. In Contrast years of consumption of fertilizer did not have any significant effect on the physical properties of the soil except for FC, PWP, AWC, pH, OC and EC. The interaction between years of consumption of fertilizers were significantly different only in particle density and field capacity.

Abstract
In order to investigate the effects of municipal solid waste enriched with mineral fertilizers on some soil physical properties and lead (Pb) and chromium (Cr) concentration in plant organs of spinach, a field experiment was carried out in a factorial arrangement based on the randomized complete block design with three replications in 2008. The main plot included four levels of fertilizer, control without fertilizer, 20 tons of multiple solid waste + 50% chemical fertilizers and 40 tons of multiple solid waste + 50% chemical fertilizers per hectare and sub-plot consisted of a period of application in 3 levels of time (one, two and three years). The results showed that application of enriched municipal compost increased field capacity, soil porosity and moisture holding capacity, but particle and bulk density of soil decreased compared to the control. Also, the physical parameters in the two levels of emriched waste compost were higher than chemical fertilizer treatment. On the other hand, using for three-years the urban waste compost enriched fertilizer at all levels increased significantly (p 0.05) lead and chromium concentrations in spinach. The Pb and Cr accumulated in roots and shoots of spinach in urban using 40 tons of waste compost per hectare with 50 percent of chemical fertilizer for a period of three years and showed a significant increase. The amounts of fertilizer in all three levels were higher than the root element shoot.
