Composting is a natural process of decomposing organic matter into nutrient-rich compost. Farm waste materials commonly used include crop residues, animal manure, straw, hay, pruning residues, and kitchen scraps. These materials provide carbon and nitrogen sources for microbial activity, facilitating the breakdown of organic matter into compost.
