Question

Shalini segregates the waste at home and puts the biodegradable waste in a pot containing soil. She leaves it for 15 days and uses that soil for her plants in the garden. Why do you think she did so

Answer 1

The biodegradable material will break down and in soil and convert into compost. Compost is a mixture of organic material formed in a process called composting. It takes 10-15 days for the composting depending upon the material.
