Compost Fertilizer

Compost fertilizer is an organic substance produced from the decomposition of natural waste materials, such as plant residues, food scraps, manure, and other biodegradable items. The composting process involves microorganisms like bacteria and fungi breaking down these materials in an oxygen-rich environment, resulting in a nutrient-dense compost that is beneficial for soil enhancement.

This type of fertilizer is highly prized for its capacity to improve soil structure, increase moisture retention, and deliver essential nutrients to plants. Compost typically contains a well-balanced mix of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and trace minerals, which are gradually released into the soil as the compost continues to decompose. This gradual nutrient release supports sustained plant health and reduces reliance on synthetic fertilizers.
