Type of Solid waste Biological
Transformation
Physical Advantages:
No Odor
Increasing the soil water holding capacity
means safe irrigation water
Increase the soil aeration and gases exchange
due to increasing the internal pours between
soil particles
Chemical Advantages:
Creating suitable pH for plant growth
Stabilizing the volatile nitrogen of organic
waste into large protein particles
Reducing the need for chemical fertilizers
(Ground and surface water protection)
Slow releasing of nutrients to plants
Increasing the cationic exchange capacity
Increasing organic matter concentration rather
than nutrient value
Biological Advantages
Eliminating weed seeds, fly egg
eggs and pathogens as a
result of hygenisation (> 55 °C)
Conserve the biological balance of soil
microorganisms
Fighting the plant diseases competition on the roots
and surrounded area (due to Pinicillium production
from the microorganism)
Advantages of composting
Environmental Advantages
Environmental safe, No chemicals risks and
hazards
Reduce the animals and plants waste
Reduce the heavy metals adsorbed by plants
due to Joining it
Coarse compost reduces the soil erosion
Advantages of composting
General Adv
Advantages:
Easy to handle, store, transport
Can be added at any time of the year
Dose not release heat so it protects the plants
Economic and agricultural value
Used inside and outside homes safely

Application:
If you don't need a lot of compost, aren't in a
hurry, or don't have access to a lot of raw
material
Passive Composting
Place the compost bin in a convenient
location, Since material will be added to the
passive compost pile frequently, make sure it's
easily accessible.

add the ingredients as you get them while
keeping in mind that the pile should be about
