INTRODUCTION
Compost is basically a natural process where organic
materials are broken down into simpler materials by
microorganisms and decomposing organisms.

This practice not only allows us to turn organic waste

into fertilizer that benefits the soil, but also helps reduce
the volume of waste that ends up in landfills.
 REQUIRED INGREDIENTS
Compost is a process that uses organic materials as raw materials. Here are
some materials that are generally used in the composting process:

success of the compost process. Here are some Good Drainage
factors to consider when choosing a location:
STEPS
The compost process involves several important
steps to ensure optimal results. Here are the
general steps to follow:

Selection of Place and Container

Cutting Material
Layer Arrangement
Providing Water and Air
Monitoring and Maintenance
 DESTRUCTION AND DECOMPOSITION PROCESS
Here are the steps that occur in this process:

DESTRUCTION DECOMPOSITION NUTRITION CYCLE

Organic materials are broken
down into smaller particles
through physical and
biological processes. This
initial decomposition
prepares the material for
further decomposition.
Microorganisms, such as bacteria and
fungi, then break down organic
materials into simpler compounds such
as carbon dioxide, water, and
nutrient-rich humus. This stage is very
important for turning waste into
nutrient-rich compost.
Decaying organic matter, or
humus, becomes a valuable
source of nutrients for
plants, thus completing the
nutrient cycle. This nutrient-
rich compost can then be
used to fertilize the soil and
increase plant growth.

process brings us closer to the goal of
creating a greener, more sustainable
planet for future generations”
