Overview
Composting is a natural process that decomposes organic waste into a valuable fertilizer, improving soil fertility and reducing the need for commercial chemical fertilizers. The concept of composting was also practiced by the ancient Greeks and Romans, who recognized the importance of soil fertility for crop growth. The composting process involves mixing green waste, such as food scraps and grass clippings, with brown waste, such as leaves and twigs. Composting can conserve water by reducing the need for synthetic fertilizers and improving soil's water-holding capacity.
