Few about composting

Compost is decayed, organic plant matter.



Compost soil is very rich soil and used for many purposes. A few of the places that it is used are in gardens, landscaping, horticulture, and agriculture. The compost soil itself is beneficial for the land in many ways, including as a soil conditioner, a fertilizer to add vital humus or humic acids, and as a natural pesticide for soil. In ecosystems, compost soil is useful for erosion control, land and stream reclamation, wetland construction, and as landfill cover.


Almost all organic material works in a compost pile. You’re aiming for a good balance between carbon-rich matter (“browns”) and nitrogen-rich materials (“greens”). Brown materials are things like dried leaves, wood chips and straw, whereas greens constituted grass clippings and kitchen scraps. Active composting requires finding the right mix for your compost pile.
