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.
