What is Composting and Compost Soil?
Simply put, composting is the decomposition of sugar, protein, carbohydrate and fatty acids (in
other words: organic waste) with the help of heat, bugs and microorganisms. In the end of the
decomposition process, highly rich soil is produced, which is also known as compost.
Oxygen + Humidity + Food Waste + Garden Waste + Bugs and Microorganisms Compost
Compost can be used as a nutritive support for plants to grow quicker and to increase the plant’s
nutrition value.

What Can I Use for Composting?
Even though all organic wastes are decomposed throughout time, not all of them are ideal for
composting. For example, leftovers from any type of meat and fats will cause a foul stench to
form within the compost. Also for indoor composting feces must not be used, due to harmful
microorganisms within them. In addition spontaneously growing weeds shouldn’t be used for
composting, because they have the potential to regrow within the compost which disrupts the
decomposition process..

What Are the Benefits of Composting?
Doğal gübre yaparken sebze, meyve artıklarını, kesilmiş çimleri ve diğer organik besinleri, faydalı ve toprağı zenginleştiren bir malzemeye dönüştürürsünüz. Evinizde toprak yetiştirmek hiç bu kadar kolay olmadı.
Başarılı Gübre Yapmanın Sırları
- While composting, vegetables, fruits, grass and other eligible organic wastes are turned into a
matter, which can be added to normal soil to increase the richness of it. As the soil gets richer
with compost, more nutrients will be absorbed by the plant and the plant itself will grow quicker.
If growing crops, the nutrient value of them will increase significantly.
Why is the Carbon-Nitrogen Ratio Important? How Can I Find the Ratio??
Decomposition occurs naturally with the help of microorganisms, which use carbon as an energy
source and nitrogen to produce protein for themselves. Without carbon and nitrogen,
microorganisms within the compost would not function properly and slow down the
decomposition of organic waste.
