Home Composting
HomeComposting is a great way to recycle the organic waste we generate at home. It can take some of our leftovers, waste and unwanted extras and turn them into fertile soil to boost the productivity of gardens and landscapes. Our IEC team led the movement to aware more and more people about home composting. Under this movement a dedicated team visits door to door and educate people to make compost using wet waste such as peels of vegetable and fruits, unused food, leaves etc. Various methods of home composting viz. Matka Composting, Composting using a specially designed compost bin, community composting etc. were taught to the residents of Chhindwara.
