Herbivorous macro- and micro-organisms are the contributors to the break down of dead plants in a compost pile. Beneficial bacteria and fungi play the initially critical roles, which then are assumed by sub-surface and surface invertebrates such as crickets and earthworms in expelling nitrogen in plant- and soil-friendly, soluble nitrogen form. But the macro- and micro-organisms will get their work done only if the proper recyclable materials fill the pile and if proper procedure is heeded in terms of air, heat, light, and moisture levels.
