Oxygen plays a crucial role in the composting process by helping break down organic matter, preventing the growth of harmful bacteria, and generating heat.

Turning a compost pile helps aerate the pile, mix different materials together, and helps the compost decompose faster.

The ideal temperature range for composting is 40-60°C.

Microorganisms play a crucial role in the composting process by breaking down organic matter, generating heat, and helping mix different materials together.

The final product of the composting process is called compost.

Compost has numerous benefits, including improving soil structure, adding nutrients to the soil, and helping retain moisture in the soil.

Vermicomposting is the process of composting using worms.

Worms play a crucial role in vermicomposting by breaking down organic matter, generating heat, and helping mix different materials together.

The ideal temperature range for vermicomposting is 25-35°C.

The ideal moisture content for vermicomposting is 60-70%.

The ideal pH range for vermicomposting is 6.0-7.0.

Vermicompost has numerous benefits, including improving soil structure, adding nutrients to the soil, and helping retain moisture in the soil.
