This document discusses composting and its benefits. Compost is made from decomposed organic materials like leaves, food scraps, and grass clippings. It improves soil structure and provides nutrients for plant growth. The composting process recycles organic waste and reduces the amount of garbage sent to landfills. It also improves soil quality and health by adding nutrients and suppressing diseases and pests. The students created compost at their school by collecting organic materials and adding worms to aid decomposition over two months, resulting in nutrient-rich compost and waste reduction.

2. Compost
 This process recycles various organic materials otherwise
regarded as waste products and produces a soil conditioner.
Compost is organic matter that has been decomposed
in a process called composting.
Compost is rich in nutrients. It is in
gardens, landscaping, horticulture, urban agriculture and organic
farming

3. Significance of Composting
Compostis decomposed organic material,
such as leaves, grass clippings, and kitchen
waste .
It provides many essential nutrients for plant
growth and therefore is often used as fertilizer.
Compost also improves soil structure so that
soil can easily hold the correct amount of
moisture, nutrients and air.

4. Waste Mangement
Waste management (or waste disposal) are the activities and
actions required to manage waste from its inception to its
final disposal.
This includes the collection, transport, treatment and
disposal of waste, together with monitoring and regulation of
the waste management process.
Waste can be solid, liquid, or gaseous and each type has
different methods of disposal and management.
Waste can be solid, liquid, or gaseous and each type has
different methods of disposal and management.

5. COMPOSTING BENEFITS
Enriches soil, helping retain moisture and suppress plant diseases and pests.
Reduces the need for chemical fertilizers.
Encourages the production of beneficial bacteria and fungi that break down
organic matter to create humus, a rich nutrient-filled material.

6. Composting Reduce Reuse Re-cycle
Compost is a mixture of decomposed items that is used to help our soil. Compost
comes from a natural process of decay (or rotting) and re-birth. It is nature’s way
of recycling.
Compost is the made up of decomposed plant and animal matter. Dead plants and
animals are broken down by earthworms, fungi, bacteria, and other soil
microorganisms. It is often nutrient-rich and makes soil more fertile.

7. Composting - Reduce Reuse Recycle
 Here we created this compost by adding dead leaves, straw, sawdust, shredded
newspaper, brown grass clippings, kitchen left overs and peels, green leaves, and
green grass clippings. The water was added and the pile was turned from time to
time.
Composting reduces greenhouse gases, improves soil quality, cleans contaminated
soil and prevents the garbage from ending into landfills.

8. COMPOSTING IN OUR SCHOOL
We had put leaves , vegetable and fruit peels.
After that we put cow dung on them.
Then we put red worms on it.
Then we leave it for two months.
After two months we got the manure.

We have to save our planet
So we can live and grow
