Three trials have been carried out with different mix ratios, bulking agents and starting cultures. The process has been monitored based on parameters like pH, Height (volume reduction), Organic Matter, organic carbon, Moisture content, Dry matter, Ash content and finally the compost is mixed with soil to check the plant growth and its yield. According to the findings the best suitable ratios will suggested to be implemented in large scale. Copyright@ International Science Community Association
