Principles of <strong>Compost</strong>ing<br />

1.<strong>Compost</strong>ing is an aerobic process and hence needs<br />

aeration and/or turning<br />

2.<strong>Compost</strong>ing has the potential to pollute, therefore<br />

must be protected from precipitation in wet climates<br />

3.<strong>Compost</strong>ing is a biological process and requires time<br />

4.<strong>Compost</strong>ing generates heat which kills pathogens,<br />

increases microbial activity to stabilize carbon, and<br />

evaporates moisture<br />

5.Odor potential increases with increased moisture<br />

content, decreased oxygen supply, and increasing<br />

amounts of food waste
