compost
Organic material decomposed by bacteria under controlled conditions to make a nutrient-rich natural fertilizer for use in gardening or farming. A well-made compost heap reaches a high temperature during the composting process, killing most weed seeds that might be present.
| As the decomposers feed, they raise the temperature in the centre of the compost as high as 66°C/150°F. |
