Compost preparations
Compost preparations involve creating a nutrient-rich organic matter by decomposing biodegradable waste. You combine “greens” (nitrogen-rich materials like fruit scraps and grass clippings) with “browns” (carbon-rich materials like dry leaves and cardboard). This mix is layered and maintained with proper moisture and aeration to encourage microbial activity. Over weeks to months, microorganisms break down the materials into dark, crumbly compost. This process enriches soil, improves plant growth, and reduces waste. Common methods include hot composting for quick results and cold composting for simplicity. Proper composting supports sustainable gardening and environmental health.
