Description
Composting is an aerobic, biological decomposition process that transforms kitchen and yard waste into nutrient‑rich humus.
Technical
During composting, microbial communities break down complex carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids into simpler molecules, releasing CO₂ and H₂O while forming humic substances that improve soil structure. The process is driven by temperature, moisture, aeration, and the carbon‑to‑nitrogen ratio, which together regulate microbial metabolism and the rate of organic matter turnover.
