Abstract:
Composting is the transformation of organic waste through decomposition by microbacteria into soil-like material. Organic waste used in composting is from agricultural waste like vegetables from farms, markets, restaurants, hotels, processing plants. There are two techniques of composting: (1) composting of waste pile with air supply system, (2) natural composting with air supplied by tossing the pile. Composting is used widely in other countries to manage waste. Composting not only results in a soil-like material as a good fertilizer but also it reduces a consiferable amount of waste.
