Does composting relate to the Nitrogen Cycle If so how?
Micro organisms use the ammonia from rotting food waste in a compost pile to create nitrogen that is available for plants to absorb. In a compost pile, rotting food produces ammonia and bacteria transform it into a soil nutrient, a process called nitrogen fixing. Legumes (beans) form nodules on their roots which accept nitrogen from the air and fix it in the soil through the nodules. So yes, a compost pile is part of the nitrogen cycle. It is the habitat for essential microorganisms to convert the nitrogen in ammonia into the nitrogen that plants can use to grow. The compost pile is also part of the carbon cycle in which carbon from living organisms breaks down and is converted into soil and used to build the cells of other plants. The compost pile does not demonstrate the full cycle of nitrogen or carbon, but it plays a part.
Is soil and compost similar or the same?
They are "similar" - kind of part and parcel of one another - but they are not the same. Soil is a mixture of varying proportions of sand, silt, clay and organic matter. Compost is fully broken down organic matter - the "black gold" of good soil. The very best soil for growing will have a high percentage of compost, or "humus". Hence, compost by itself is a very important part of good soil. But compost by itself is not "soil".
