Different Types of Composting

 * Aerobic

Aerobic composting is a method of composting that requires the presence of air to be around in order to work effectively. This method is the most commonly used one, and the most efffective. In the process, it also kills weed seeds and parthogen.


 * Anaerobic

Anaerobic composting is the method of composting that requires no oxygen in order to decompose. In anaerobic composting, the container in which you are leaving the wasted material in contains chemical energy that will help the waste decompose. This method takes longer than aerobic composting.


 * Vermicomposting

Vermicomposting is the process of composting that uses worms to decompose the wasted material. Some cons of this process include less nitrogen loss, producing harmful greenhouses gasses, no weed seed killing, and it is not easily managed.
