A composter is a container or designated area used for composting organic materials so they can be recycled into fertilizer and rich garden soils.
Composting is the acceleration of the natural process of decaying of organic materials such as branches and leaves, and household food wastes. Backyard composting involves combining 'browns' (fallen leaves or straw) with 'greens' (grass clippings and food scraps), and continuously mixing them until they decompose. Worm composting uses earthworms to accelerate the decomposition process, and is a better choice if you have a tiny yard, live in an apartment, or have an abundance of food scraps.
