The process that converts biodegradable material such as garden or kitchen waste, in the presence of oxygen (aerobic) into a stable material that can be used as a soil improver. Composting can be done at different scales, from home composting to a large centralised facility.

the technique of recycling organic material such as leaves and vegetable scraps so that they decompose into a rich soil amendment that gardeners fondly nickname “Black Gold“

the biological breakdown or organic matter by a managed process

enriching a soil's nutrition and CEC (cation exchange capacity) by adding decomposed organic matter to it. Grass clippings, kitchen scraps, coffee grounds, and even certain kinds of weeds will serve when mixed with brown matter (dry twigs, newspaper), but not animal fat, meat, oil, or cat or dog feces. A properly built, moistened, and aerated [..]

The biological degradation of organic material under aerobic (oxygen-rich) conditions to produce compost, a nutrient-rich soil amendment and conditioner. compound

A process whereby organic wastes—food, paper, and yard wastes—decompose naturally, resulting in a product rich in minerals and ideal for gardening and farming as a soil conditioner, mulch, resurfacing material, or landfill cover.

Composting is the process of decomposing organic waste through aerobic decomposition. It helps to convert biodegradable material such as garden and kitchen waste into a stable granular material which [..]

recycling food waste, lawn scraps, and other organic materials to create compost

The natural biological decomposition of organic material in the presence of air to form a humus-like material.

Using decomposing vegetable matter, including table scraps, grass clippings, leaves, peat and soil to fertilize the soil. Composting reduces the amount of waste sent to landfill, and helps put valuabl [..]

Composting is the process which occurs when plant and food waste, in conditions in which oxygen is available, is broken down to produce soil (humus). Humus can be used in parks, gardens and agriculture. Large-scale composting requires the waste to be sorted to prevent the heavy metal content of compost humus being too high.

The controlled biological decomposition of organic material in the presence of air to form a humus-like material. Controlled methods of composting include mechanical mixing and aerating, ventilating [..]

The gradual conversion of organic wastes into a mineral and nutrient rich material useful in gardens, farming, or other purposes. Easy to do at home!

The process of deliberately allowing food, garden and other suitable organic wastes to break down naturally over time to produce compost.

Compost is composed of organic matter that is recycled back into the earth. Organic matter may include lawn clippings, vegetable scraps from the kitchen, and untreated papers. These materials are comb [..]

 Process whereby organic wastes, including food waste, paper, and yard waste, decompose naturally, resulting in a product rich in minerals and ideal for gardening and farming as soil conditioners, mulch, resurfacing material, or landfill cover.

The biological decomposition process of organic materials such as leaves, garden waste, coffee grounds, grass clippings, brush, and food waste into a soil amendment.

 – A process in which solid organic materials are broken down by micro-organisms in the presence of oxygen. Biosolids are mixed with sawdust, wood chips or other organic material. High temperatures ge [..]

Is the controlled biological decomposition of organic material in the presence of air to form a humus-like material. Compost is the relatively stable humus material that is produced from a composting [..]

The breakdown of organic matter by microbial action.

The microbial process that breaks down organic waste into a humus-like soil amendment. ^ back to top

the biological decomposition of organic materials in the presence of oxygen that yields carbon dioxide, heat, and stabilised organic residues that may be used as a soil additive.

Process of reducing vegetable and animal refuse, either by natural biological decomposition of organic material in the presence of air or by controlled mechanical methods, for the purpose of increasin [..]

A process of decomposing organic matter through the use of microorganisms.

The processing of discarded organic material by encouraging decomposition processes under warm, moist, oxygen-rich conditions. The product, known as compost, is a useful fertilizer and soil conditioner.
