What is compost?
 
Compost is the finished product from recycling organic waste such as food waste, leaves, grass, and branches and turning it into high-quality fertilizer, wood chips, and mulch.
 
Composting is the aerobic, or oxygen-requiring, decomposition of organic materials under controlled conditions. It is one way to convert organic waste to a useful product that can be beneficially used to support soil health and encourage plant growth.
 
Composting is a sustainable part of the circular economy that recycles wastes and by-products from landscaping, agriculture, and food production back to the soil.
 
How is composting used?
 
Composting is used as a fertilizer to enrich soil and plants for landscaping, gardening, and agriculture.
 
What are the benefits of composting?
 
Recycling organic waste into compost provides a range of environmental benefits, including improving soil health, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, recycling nutrients, and diverting waste from our landfills.
 
Compost enriches the soil, nourishes vegetation, and contributes to a more sustainable ecosystem by sequestering carbon and improving soil health. Compost can help moderate pH, add nutrients, add organic matter, and support soil moisture retention (decreasing the need to water plants, gardens, and crops).
 
24 Hours Composting Machine
 
A 24-hour composting machine is a device designed to accelerate the composting process, turning organic waste into compost in a much shorter time frame compared to traditional composting methods. These machines typically provide optimal conditions for composting, such as controlled temperature, moisture, and aeration, which help break down the organic matter more quickly.
 
Using a 24-hour composting machine can be beneficial for those who generate a large amount of organic waste and want to quickly convert it into nutrient-rich compost for gardening or farming purposes.
