Compost and humus are the terms which are used to designate the organic matter which results from decomposed kitchen scraps and yard litter. Compost identifies the generalized product of the above-mentioned process whereas the dark-colored, fresh-colored, nutrient-rich manifestation of that compost is known as humus.
