Composting is a natural process that turns organic material into a dark rich substance. This substance is called compost or humus. Composting is nature's way of recycling. Composting biodegrades organic waste like food waste, manure, leaves, grass trimmings, paper, wood, feathers, crop residue etc., and turn it into a valuable organic fertilizer.

This natural biological process, carried out under controlled aerobic conditions (requires oxygen). In this process, various microorganisms, including bacteria and fungi, break down organic matter into simpler substances. The effectiveness of the composting process is dependent upon the environmental conditions present within the composting system i.e. oxygen, temperature, moisture, material disturbance, organic matter and the size and activity of microbial populations.
