Composting is a process by which organic materials are decomposed and converted into rich soil. It is one of the most effective ways of recycling organic waste. It has many advantages over other methods of waste disposal such as landfills, incineration and composting.

The major advantage of composting is that it does not involve any use of chemicals or electricity. The composting process can be carried out in the home itself without any help from the municipality. This is one of the main reasons why composting is becoming more popular day by day.

Another advantage of composting is that the material being composted can be used for other purposes. For example, the compost can be used to make plants grow faster. The compost also helps to reduce the need for fertilizer.

It is important to know that the composting process is very different from composting done at home. In the case of home composting, the materials are usually kept in an open space where there is plenty of air and moisture. The composting process in the case of municipal composting involves keeping the materials inside a closed room with controlled temperature and moisture level. The materials are mixed with water to create a liquid called the compost tea. The tea is then sprayed onto the plants.

There are two types of composting – wet and dry. The wet type of composting involves mixing the organic materials with water. The dry method involves no water at all.

Wet composting requires a lot of time and effort. The materials have to be mixed with water and then kept for a period of time before they are used. The composting process may take several months to complete. The materials will also need to be turned regularly to ensure that the process continues smoothly.

Dry composting on the other hand is much easier to carry out. There is no need for mixing with water. The materials are simply spread out and left to decompose.

In order to carry out the composting process, you will need some basic equipment. You will need a large container, some plastic sheeting and a few tools like shovels, trowels, a fork and a rake.

You will need to collect your organic wastes first. Then place them in the container and mix them well with the tools mentioned above. After that, cover the container with the plastic sheeting and keep it in a warm and dry place.

You should check the container daily to ensure that there is no accumulation of moisture. If necessary, you should remove the plastic sheeting and allow the compost to dry out. Once the compost has dried out completely, you can start using it.
