Can a compost soil conduct electricity?
Yes, compost soil can conduct electricity. The condition of electricity draws upon ions and nutrients. Dark-colored, fresh-smelling, nutrient-rich organic matter such as compost and humus have both.
Why does the temperature in a compost heap rise?
Composting relies on natural processes that decompose organic materials. This includes certain chemical processes that are carried out by microorganisms which thrive under ideal conditions. They work most efficiently when the correct moisture level is present and they are given enough oxygen. Their activity creates the heat in a compost bin which can be warm enough to kill weed seeds and sterilize the material.
What does temperature have to do with compost heaps?
Destruction of pathogens and anticipation of the appropriate mesophilic and thermophilic decomposers in the breakdown of carbon- and nitrogen-rich recyclables into dark-colored, fresh-smelling, nutrient-rich organic matter called compost or humus are the explanations of the relationship between compost heaps and composting temperatures. The National Organic Program in the United States of America considers 15 days at temperatures of 131 to 170 degrees Fahrenheit (55 to 76.7 degrees Celsius) necessary for proper decomposition. Next to maintenance of proper temperature ranges for hot composting will be attention to proper moisture and ventilation levels by keeping compostables as moist as a wrung-out sponge and by turning layers as much as five times during the above-mentioned 15 days.
What is the difference between compost soil and normal soil?
The high content of nutrient rich organic matter tends to be the difference between compost and soil. Compost isn't actually soil. Instead, it represents the aerobic breakdown of compostable materials into the basic elements from which they're made. The most common elements tend to be carbon and nitrogen.Aerobic means of encouraging the natural decay processes are brought about by careful attention to appropriate levels of air, heat, and moisture. If proper procedure is followed, then compostable materials turn into dark brown, fresh smelling, nutrient rich organic matter. That end product looks like soil. But it isn't. Instead, it's compost, or humus.Humus may or may not be present in appropriate levels in soil. There's no such thing as normal or typical soil. But there's such a thing as healthier or unhealthier soil. The healthier soil has appropriate levels of nutrients and humus, and adequate amounts of air and water pore space. The unhealthier soil has neither.

What happens to organic matter in compost bin?
Organic matter in a compost bin decomposes as a result of bacteria action.
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".
Can you compost butter along with other organic materials?
No, it is not recommended to compost butter along with other organic materials as it can attract pests and create unpleasant odors in the compost pile.
How do you convert domestic wastage into organic manure?
Build a compost bin and compost it.
What is compost preparation?
Compost preparation refers to the making of manure from the organic matter.
Will non-organic things in compost hurt organic gardens?
Yes, non-organic things in compost can hurt organic gardens. Compost is the end product of the decomposition of carbon- and nitrogen-rich recyclables into dark-colored, fresh-smelling, nutrient-rich organic matter called compost or humus. Non-organic matter will not break down with organic inputs and even will produce toxic environments for animals and plants in some cases.
What is another name for organic matter?
Compost.
What is the decayed organic material of soil?
compost
