The composting is a transformation of the organic waste winch permit to produce an amendment called « the compost ».

The compost is a quality fertilizer without unpleasant smell. It is comparable to the humus, very often used for the agriculture and the gardening. The humus is a dark colored earthy material which is present in the superficial layer of the ground. It results from the decomposition and from the partial reorganization of the waste.
