How are landfills and compost piles the same?
Landfills and compost piles are both places where organic waste decomposes. However, landfills are designed to store waste without oxygen, leading to anaerobic decomposition and the production of methane gas. In contrast, compost piles are aerated to promote aerobic decomposition, which breaks down organic matter into nutrient-rich compost.
What is the difference between a landfill and a compost?
A landfill is a site where waste is buried and left to decompose over time without oxygen, emitting harmful greenhouse gases. Compost is a mixture of organic waste that is decomposed aerobically into nutrient-rich soil conditioner that can be used to improve soil quality. Composting is a more sustainable waste management option compared to landfills.
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".
How long does it take for compost to turn to soil?
If you adopt the conventional composting mode, it depends on what materials are in the compost and if it is already mized with soil mixtures, so anywhere from a few weeks to about a year. Of course, it is widely used for small capacity of composting or homemade compost. But, as for large farms and fertilizer factory, they often use compost turning machine(fertilizer-machines.com), also called windrow turner to turn these waste into organic waste. Advantages of compost turner (Azeus fertilizer machinery) 1. Compost turner can shorten fermentation time from traditional fermentation about 45 days to 7-10 days with composting equipment. 2. Fermentation is more uniform, because of high turning heap and strong ability of windrow turners, which can turn materials all-around. 3. Processing capacity of such a compost turner, with one worker, is about 1000-3000 m 3/hour, which is labor-saving.

Composting do's and don'ts?
Do's: Do compost fruit and vegetable scraps, eggshells, coffee grounds, and yard waste like leaves and grass clippings. Do maintain a good balance of green (nitrogen-rich) and brown (carbon-rich) materials in your compost pile. Do turn your compost regularly to aerate it and help with decomposition. Don'ts: Don't compost meat, dairy, oils, or pet waste as they can attract pests and create odors. Don't add diseased plants or weeds with seeds to your compost pile, as they can spread diseases or infest your garden. Don't overwater your compost pile, as it can become too wet and slow down the composting process.
