explain the process of composting in detail
Answers
Composting is a process in which organic matter gets degraded into organic fertilizer with the help of specific microorganism under control temperature, moisture content and pH conditions.
Now let me define the process by the definition itself.
Organic matter means the food i.e. the waste material such as food waste, vegetable, fruit and any biodegradable waste. The C/N ratio is a very important factor in the composting process. C/N ratio should be around 30/1. Carbon content means the dry leaves, wood chipping, and sawdust. Nitrogen means the food waste, green leaves, fruit, and vegetable waste.
The carbon content is the food for the microbes and the nitrogen content is for the building of cells and growth of microbes.
Microbes used in the composting process is very pH and temperature sensitive.
If pH is less, then microbes will die and if pH will be more, the ammonia formation will take place.
The different temperature will lead to the different microbial conditions.
Also, aerobic microbes work faster than anaerobic microbes. Therefore, aeration will increase the rate of composting.
Now let me explain the process in a simpler manner.
First, we add the organic waste to a bucket or any place. Microbes will grow and eat the food for the survival and their excreta is the final product that we called as compost.
hope it helps u !!!!
