Composting converts organic matter into a beneficial fertiliser that can benefit both the soil and the plants. Farmers sometimes call compost "black gold" due to its high nutrient content and ecological advantages.
Organic debris decomposes throughout the course of composting by providing an optimum home for beneficial microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi.
Organic waste that has decomposed is utilised as an addition to the soil to enhance water retention, eliminate personal waste, and strengthen the soil's chemical composition and physical structure.
Composting is an excellent approach for a family to reduce its carbon footprint by reusing recyclable material rather than discarding it. One can decompose organic items like food & vegetable scraps, Grass clippings and yard trim, Paper filters, Coffee ground and more.
The items which cannot be decomposed are Glossy paper, Aggressive weeds or weeds with seeds, Herbicide treated plants, Pet waste and cat litter, Cheese and dairy products, Meat, fish and bones.
Composting is a significant strategy in combating the effects of global warming. It also strengthens the soil's resistance to temperature rises. It also boosts the soil's resistance against climate change while minimising the possibility of soil erosion.
