Composting is a proven method and is no longer a hypothesis.

The concept is that if organic materials are left together with the proper ratio of nitrogen to carbon, then the microscopic life will begin devouring the substance of the organic waste and as the food chain develops the waste turns to soil.

What is the hypothesis for what types of foods make compost?

The hypothesis, or the tentative, testable answer to a scientific question, for the types of foods that make compost is the following: "Compost comes from the natural decomposition of carbon- and nitrogen-rich, recyclable plant matter within a year. The type of foods that break down do not include animal or processed edibles that interfere with decomposition." Compost is dark-colored, fresh-smelling, nutrient-rich organic material that results from air, heat, micro-organisms and moisture breaking down recyclable, small-sized carbon- and nitrogen-filled matter. Bony, dairy, greasy, meaty, oily or seedy edible foods not to include may contaminate and frustrate the process by introducing what foraging wildlife perceive as irresistible delectables.
