I've ever told 'bout my trip to America and did you know, after I come back I must doing some project. and ma project is 'bout composting. I give the tittle for ma project, Composting for The Poor Farmers. It'll be done at January 2011 I guess. prayer for ma success in this project. and, I think that you never heard 'bout composting before, so I'll give you some information 'bout it. :)

Compost is plant matter that has been decomposed and recycled as a fertilizer and soil amendment. Compost is a key ingredient in organic farming At its most essential, the process of composting requires simply piling up waste outdoors and waiting a year or more. Modern, methodical composting is a multi-step, closely monitored process with measured inputs of water, air and carbon and nitrogen-rich materials. The decomposition process is aided by shredding the plant matter, adding water and ensuring proper aeration by regularly turning the mixture. 

Worms and fungi further break up the material. Aerobic bacteria manage the chemical process by converting the inputs into heat, carbon dioxide and ammonium. The ammonium is further refined by bacteria into plant-nourishing nitrites and nitrates.

Compost can be rich in nutrients. It is used in gardens, landscaping, horticulture, and agriculture. The compost it self is beneficial for the land in many ways, including as a soil conditioner, a fertilizer, addition of vital humus or humic acids, and as a natural pesticide for soil. In ecosystems, compost is useful for erosion control, land and stream reclamation, wetland construction, and as landfill cover.
