Composting is a completely natural process in which organic material is left to decay over a period of time. This organic material, which can include garden waste, manure or kitchen scraps, becomes a dark substance, often called humus or "black gold". In nature, this process happens naturally over a period of time, but with certain techniques it can be speeded up for use in home gardens.
