This product may be formally named “organic compost”. Organic compost can be divided loosely into two types: green and brown.

Green compost is made by collecting left-over food items, from vegetable and fruit peelings to tea bags to coffee grinds to egg shells (…the list goes on and on) and assimilating it in a single place before “letting nature take its course” (i.e. just allowing the oxygen in the air to decompose the final pile of it all, over a period of several months.

Brown compost comes in the form of paper and other wood properties that has been allowed to decay by wholly natural means in the same way.
Research has made it possible for some non-biodegradable materials to take forms which are “more biodegradable” – polythene is the most well known example of this.

Organic compost is proof that so many materials can avoid ending up in landfill sites – anaerobic decomposition results in greenhouse gases.
A soil additive, like coir or peat, organic compost works as a tilth improver, supplying humus and nutrients to the soil it is made to come into contact with, much to the health of any and all plant and tree life residing in such a body of soil.

Organic gardening compost is the integral part of organic gardening and is comprised of twigs, leaves, rotten fruit, manure and other natural wastes which after decay resulted into much needed nutrients for plants that can’t be even provided by best sandy loam soil.

Organic gardening compost is really vital for offsetting the soil by improving the soil structure, its ventilation and the ground water retention capacity. There should be a compost pit for preparing organic compost and you should be prepared with all garden tools to start digging. The size of the hold is matter of concern as it should be large enough to contain natural waste.

Organic gardening compost can also be prepared above the ground but it is avoided most of the times due to presence of microorganisms, insects and the smell which are hazardous for health.

When it comes to turn over the compost or carry the material to plants, composting equipments like a shovel or a pitchfork could prove to be handy. You need to ensure, while deciding about the location of compost pit, that you pay attention to the creatures like earthworms dwelling in soil which break down the organic matters and thus discharges the nutrients needed by the plants.

You may add coffee or tea grounds, eggshells, and cow’s manure to organic gardening compost in order to make ideal ground for gardening. You should keep your compost pile always away from bones, animal fat and trimmings infected with plant diseases as they may pollute the final compost product and may prove to be unfavorable for gardening.

With this being the case, gardeners and horticultural experts are always among the first to use it to best effect. In the UK, there is even a national charity dedicated to organic growing – Garden Organic, http://www.gardenorganic.org.uk
In all reality, “organic gardening” is merely defined any kind of gardening without the use any chemical means, such as artificial fertilizer. As such, this document might as well, at least in part, be considered a document of advice on “traditional gardening”.
Let’s start with techniques. Get to know your lawn-mower from your spade, and your shears from your rake. And be careful of back strain if you’re going to be doing it for an extended period of time.

Then there’s the notion of pest control. Organic gardening is not about breaking out the fly spray. There are certain plants you can grow in your garden that work against pests (and this is not limited to the Venus fly trap!).
If you want to know more about organic gardening, suggestions include visiting the website of Garden Organic or buying the publication Organic Gardening.  Show-offs can talk to celebrity gardener Alan Titchmarsh.

Dendrobaena worms are used again and again in worm farm composting. And they compost a wide range of substances – anything that has lived and died; vegetable peelings; cooked vegetables; vacuum dust; pet hair; lawn clippings; animal waste; inner tubes from toilet / kitchen rolls; cardboard egg boxes.

One administers 1kg of worms for every cubic meter of soil – these measures at approximately 1600 to 2000 worms. The worms themselves are asexual and they can breed every couple of weeks; and without predators they have a life expectancy of up to 15 years.

Normal composting involves the collection of a body of dead cell matter in a single place before letting nature do the composting business by the process of oxidization. By contrast, worm farm composting works much faster. Furthermore, they do not produce any smell.

When creating a worm farm, know the natural habitat of worms. Worms survive and thrive only in warm areas which are moist and continually dark – they should be kept indoors during the cooler months.
