CONSIDERATIONS CONCERNING THE COMPOSTING OF ORGANIC WASTE

Compost means a product obtained by an aerobic, thermophilic, decomposition process and microbial synthesis of the organic substances in the residual products, which contains over 25% relatively stable humus predominantly composed of microbial biomass and which is subsequently subjected to a slight decomposition. stable enough not to reheat or cause problems with smell or breeding of insects and has the ratio C: N = 10-15 Regardless of its origin and nature, organic matter, depending on the conditions of aeration and humidity, evolves towards a new qualitative state, relatively stable to biodegradation, characterized by a humus-likeC:Nratio. Â
