An infographic showing the sources for compost: manure, bedding, feed wastes. In the middle is a pile of compost showing microorganisms inside, and arrows showing the flow of oxygen into the pile, and outflow of water, carbon dioxide, ammonia, and methane. On the right is the contents of mature compost: decomposed organic matter, minerals and microorganisms. The benefits are reduced volume and weight and good water content.
