(With Additri Agrotech Products for Healthier Soil & Happier Plants)
Think composting is only for farms or large gardens? Think again. Even with just a balcony or terrace, urban gardeners can turn daily kitchen waste into powerful, organic fertilizer—all while reducing landfill load and saving money.
This guide walks you through how to compost at home, using Additri Agrotech’s natural inputs to make the process faster, odor-free, and highly effective.
🌱 What is Composting?
Composting is the natural breakdown of organic materials like fruit peels, vegetable scraps, dry leaves, and garden clippings into nutrient-rich humus that improves soil quality and boosts plant growth.
✅ Speeds up nature’s recycling
✅ Produces rich compost for home gardens
✅ Reduces dependency on chemical fertilizers
💡 Additri’s Bio Compost Culture adds beneficial microbes that rapidly decompose waste—even in compact terrace bins.

🪣 Compost bin or bucket with ventilation
🍌 Kitchen waste (peels, tea leaves, veggie scraps)
🍂 Dry material (dry leaves, shredded paper, cocopeat)
🧪 Additri Compost Booster (optional but recommended)
Tip: Use Additri Cocopeat Block to balance wet waste, retain moisture, and improve air flow in the compost bin.
⚖️ Composting Balance: Greens vs Browns
