Composting is a natural process, which converts organic rubbish into an earth like mass by means of bacteria and micro-organisms.  The composting process is also supported by larvae, wood lice, beetles, worms and other such creatures.

 

Moisture and Oxygen are the other important factors in the composting process.  Heat is generated during the composting process.  As a result, the temperature in the composter may rise to around 50 degrees C.  Micro-organisms flourish at this temperature, helping to speed up the composting process.
