Composting is when tiny living things like bacteria and bugs break down things like food scraps and leaves. They turn them into dirt that helps plants grow. It's good for the environment.
Composting enriches soil, conserves water, mitigates erosion, and reduces greenhouse gases. It fosters healthy microbes, improving fertility and structure while lessening reliance on chemical fertilisers.
Bangalore's composting technique promotes on-site composting over landfill use, ideal for urban areas. It's sustainable and effective and emphasises local waste management, suiting places with space and waste disposal challenges.
Weather protection shields compost controls flies and moisture, and requires minimal maintenance. It's ideal for regions with seasonal rain, simplifying the composting process.
Slow decomposition takes 6-8 months, which could be better for those wanting quick results. It requires significant space and limits use in small areas. It can be costly due to specialised construction, deterring some users.
