Composting definition

Composting means a controlled process involving microbial decomposition of organic matter;
Composting means the manipulation of the natural aerobic process of decomposition of organic
Composting means the biological degradation and transformation of organic solid waste under controlled conditions designed to promote aerobic decomposition. Natural decay of organic solid waste under uncontrolled conditions is not composting.
