Question

For your agricultural field or garden you have developed a compost producing pit. Discuss the process in the light of bad odour, flies and recycling of wastes for a good produce.

Open in App

Solution

It is essential to take proper care of the compost producing pit in order to protect ourselves from bad odour and flies.
It should be kept covered to minimize bad odour and prevent flies from entering it. The recyclable waste should not be dumped in the compost producing pit. It should be sent to the industries through vendors for recycling.
