Question

9. Do you think it is better to use compost instead of chemical fertilisers? Why?​

Answer 1

Yes, it is better to use compost instead of chemical fertilizers because by using compost, we are reusing our garbage As, Compost is nature's way of recycling organic material back into the environment. Adding fallen leaves, cut grass and kitchen waste to a compost pile instead of sending them to a landfill returns to the earth those nutrients the plants took out. Also compost is cheap and less harmful to than chemical fertilizers. Compost feeds the microfauna in the soil. Chemical fertilizers are unable to do this. The microfauna, in turn, provide nutrients to plants over a long, sustained period, reducing the opportunity for the roots to be burned by excessive nitrogen. Compost increases the tillage of the soil, making it easier to work. Heavy clay soil is lightened by the presence of compost, which allows it to breathe easier and avoid clumping.⭐
