Daily about 14% of vegetable and fruit peel solid waste is generated in each kitchen during preparation of food which is sealed in a plastic bag and taken to a landfill site by municipal corporations. It doesn't decompose properly but produces methane, the greenhouse gas.It is important to use these renewable resources to maximize yields and minimize the environmental hazards associated with chemical residues. Composting is an age old practice for the biological conversion of organic waste to a humus-like substance which can enhance physical, chemical and biological soil properties. Compost increases the water retention and drainage of soil. It helps keep weeds down and adds nutrients to the garden. The end results are nutrient rich soil additives that increase porosity and help hold important moisture in the soil.Smaller pieces compost fastest. Compost piles must be at the proper temperature and moisture balance to ensure break down of these types of items. There is a need to cover Composting kitchen scraps so that animals don’t dig them up. If organic matter had not been present, 30% to 35% of the nitrogen, 20% to 30% of the phosphorus, and a lesser fraction of the potassium added as chemical fertilizer would have been leached beyond the root zone, and thus could not have contributed to soil fertility. Compost is an excellent soil conditioner and soil amendment.In this study role of soil microbes is harvested to transduce kitchen waste into environmentally sound compost and reduce the amount of material in landfills.
