Detailed explanation-1: -Composting is a biological process during which naturally occurring microorganisms, bacteria and insects break down organic materials such as leaves, grass clippings and certain kitchen scraps into a soil-like product called compost.

Detailed explanation-2: -The bacteria first latches onto the edges of this matter and starts to break it down. The worms don’t actually eat the organic matter, they are munching on the decomposing material and the microbes. As it passes through the worm’s gut, it gets ground up in the crop and gizzard, and then moves into the intestine.

Detailed explanation-3: -The most abundant type of chemical decomposer in a compost pile is aerobic bacteria. When they break down organic material, they give off heat. Billions of aerobic bacteria working to decompose the organic matter in a compost pile causes the pile to warm up. As the temperature rises, different organisms thrive.

Detailed explanation-4: -This process is called “composting” and the final product of composting is called “compost”. Generally speaking there are two processes that yield compost: ANAEROBIC (without oxygen) decomposition.
