Description
Composting transforms food scraps into nutrient‑rich humus through aerobic microbial activity.
Technical
During aerobic decomposition, microorganisms oxidize organic matter, producing carbon dioxide, water, and heat while forming stable humus. The process also releases volatile compounds such as ammonia and, if anaerobic zones develop, methane and hydrogen sulfide.
Science
Primary Reaction
Aerobic microbial oxidation of organic matter to CO₂, H₂O, heat, and humus
