By their activity in the soil, earthworms offer many benefits: increased nutrient availability, better drainage, and a more stable soil structure, all of which help improve farm productivity. Worms feed on plant debris (dead roots, leaves, grasses, manure) and soil.
Composting is the process of recycling decomposed organic materials into a rich soil known as compost.The generation of greenhouse gas is avoided by composting the waste materials.By recycling the wastes, the nutrients are returned back to the soil in terms of compost.
Air, heat, light, macro- and micro-organisms, and moisture help a compost pile to decompose. Composting responds to the break down of carbon- and nitrogen-rich organic materials into dark-colored, fresh-smelling, nutrient-rich organic material. Beneficial bacteria and fungi will play critical roles in generating the necessary energy and heat.
Sources for activators, additions, and jump-starts are ways that recycling helps compost. Compost is the dark-colored, fresh-smelling, nutrient-rich organic matter that the natural breakdown of carbon- and nitrogen-rich recyclables by air, macro- and micro-organisms, and moisture produces. Compostable recyclables serve as steady sources and supplies for activating, enriching, extending and supplementing home-made and store-bought compost to be used as soil amendments, fertilizers and mulches.
