General comment Compost is a controlled, aerobic process that converts organic materials into a nutrient-rich soil amendment or mulch through natural decomposition. It is a mixture of ingredients used as plant fertilizer and to improve soil's physical, chemical, and biological properties. It is commonly prepared by decomposing plant and food waste, recycling organic materials, and manure. The resulting mixture is rich in plant nutrients and beneficial organisms. Compost improves soil structure, provides a wide range of nutrients for plants, and adds beneficial microbes to the soil.
