ORGANIC MANURE
COMPOSTING
Composting is the natural process of recycling organic matter, such
as leaves and food scraps, into a valuable fertilizer that can enrich
soil and plants. Anything that grows decomposes eventually;
composting simply speeds up the process by providing an ideal
environment for bacteria, fungi, and other decomposing
organisms( such as worms, sow bugs, and nematodes)
to do their work. The resulting decomposed matter, which often
ends up looking like fertile garden soil, is called compost.

COST BENEFITS

The expenditure were only occured for seeds and seedlings. I


brought them each of 10 Rs from the nearby nursery. Manures
and fertilizers were made by my own from surroundings. So
there is no expense for that. The fact that I have learned from
this project is there is no need to buy vegetables from market,
we can grow necessary vegetables at our homes through that
we can save life and money and it is nature friendly.
