  • Abstract:
  • In our institution, a large amount of organic waste, including dry and wet leaves, twigs, grass clippings, and tree trimmings, is produced on campus daily. Composting is the most effective alternative for disposing of organic waste. In this study, we aimed to analyze the impact of different accelerators, such as sawdust, jaggery, and curd, on the composting process of garden waste. Our findings revealed that jaggery was the most effective accelerator, achieving decomposition in 25 days. Using jaggery as an accelerator for institutional garden waste produced excellent results. Additionally, incorporating cow dung as a nitrogen source enhanced both the speed of composting and the quality of the final compost product.
