They both involve decomposing, except that decomposing [alone] occurs naturally, such as a wilting plant, and composting is purposely putting organic trash (apple cores, orange peels etc.) into a place where it can decompose.
To fertilize soil without manure, you can use orange peels, eggshells, or even vegetable peels.
yes, they eat most vegetable scraps
They will degrade (rot) just easily as the fruit or vegetable will.
You can put them a garbage disposal, with the exceptions of banana peels and celery, or if you live in a rural area, you can leave them in a proper area for chickens or birds. Or, you can simply throw them in the trash.
A decomposing leaf is dead, however it was at one time alive.
If it's the joke it's: He is decomposing.
Paper is made up of fibers. Specially bamboo tree fibers. We can use the vegetable to add some extra effects to paper like fragrance, color etc. But we can not use vegetable as main ingredient.
To get nutritious rich black soil it will normally take 3 years to rot the peels enough to create good soil. It may take less time with the peels. A year or until the peels rotted away.
peels
Burning of coal, oil (including gasoline), and natural gas to produce carbon dioxide. Also decomposing of vegetable and animal matter to produce methane.
I'm not sure if you can actually do that but I'm going to do a science project on that topic.
