| 1 | the process of mixing decaying leaves, manure and other nutritive matter to improve and fertilize soil. | 10 sets | |
| 2 | the process of mixing decaying leaves, manure and other nutritive matter to improve and fertilize soil | 8 sets | |
| 3 | a mixture of decaying organic matter, as from leaves and manure, used to improve soil structure and provide nutrients. | 7 sets | |
| 4 | the porcess of mixing decaying leaves and other nutritve matter to improve and fertillize soil | 5 sets | |
| 5 | a mixture of decaying organic matter, as from leaves and manure, used to improve soil structure and provide nutrients | 5 sets | |
| 6 | nature's way of recycling food and plant waste. | 3 sets | |
| 7 | the process of helping biodegradable wastes to decompose naturally | 2 sets | |
| 8 | turning organic waste into a substance that enriches soil | 2 sets | |
| 9 | biochemical process in which organic materials decompose to a humus-like material | 2 sets | |
| 10 | the process of mixing decaying leaves, manure, and other nutritive matter to improve and fertilize soil | 2 sets | |
| 11 | natures way of recycling food and plant waste | 2 sets | |
| 12 | the decomposing of biodegradable organic matter | 1 set | |
| 13 | a form of treatment for sewage sludge. raw sludge is mixed with a water-absorbing material (wood chips) to reduce water, then it is places in long narrow piles (windrows) to allow air to circulate and is turned with machinery. decomposers break down soil. sig - creates rich humus-like material to treat poor soils. | 1 set | |
| 14 | the biological degradation of organic material under aerobic (oxygen-rich) conditions to produce compost, a nutrient-rich soil amendment | 1 set | |
| 15 | partial decomposition of moist, solid, organic waste by aerobic organisms; organic waste must be separated from other; product can later be used for fertilizer | 1 set | |
| 16 | placing biodegradable wastes together in an exposed place, to encourage decomposition | 1 set | |
| 17 | allow organic material to break down under aerobic conditions | 1 set | |
| 18 | the process of biodegradable wastes to decompose naturally | 1 set | |
| 19 | the process of helping biodegradable wastes to decompose naturally. | 1 set | |
| 20 | a simple process in which we copy nature by using decomposing bacteria to recycle some of the yard trimmings, food scraps, and other biodegradable organic wastes we produce | 1 set | |
| 21 | a biochemical process in which organic materials decompose to a humuslike material | 1 set | |
| 22 | recycling food scraps and yard waste by mixing them with layers of soil | 1 set | |
| 23 | preparation of compost : horse manure straw nitrogen supplements and gypsum are mixed by turners left for anaerobic fermentation | 1 set | |
| 24 | the process of breaking down organic material, such as yard trimmings, by bacteria and fungi to a humus-like material that can be used as a soil conditioner | 1 set | |
| 25 | helping the natural decomposition process to break down certain wastes. | 1 set | |
| 26 | use of bio degradable material to make a useable substance for gardening. | 1 set | |
| 27 | the process of helping biodegradable wastse to decompose naturally | 1 set | |
| 28 | the process of mixing decaying leaves, manure and other nutritive matter to improve and fertillize soil. | 1 set | |
| 29 | using natural decomposition to transfer organic material into compost | 1 set | |
| 30 | a process that allows the organic material in solid waste to be decomposed and reintroduced into the soil, often as fertilizer. | 1 set | |
| 31 | natural decomposition or organic material at the home | 1 set | |
| 32 | a process whereby organic wastes—food, paper, and yard wastes—decompose naturally, resulting in a product rich in minerals and ideal for gardening and farming as a soil conditioner, mulch, resurfacing material, or landfill cover. | 1 set | |
| 33 | piling yard wastes where they can decompose gradually | 1 set | |
| 34 | the process of mixing decaying leaves, manure and other nutitive matter to improve and fertilize soil | 1 set | |
| 35 | the process of making biodegradable wastes decompose quickly | 1 set | |
| 36 | is the process of helping biodgradable wastes to decompose naturally | 1 set | |
| 37 | vegetable matter decomposes into great fetilizer for gardens | 1 set | |
| 38 | piling up organic material to decompose | 1 set | |
| 39 | mixture of decaying organic matter, as from leaves and manure, used to improve soil structure and provide nutrients | 1 set | |
| 40 | using a mixture of plant– based waste to fertilize, or enrich, the soil | 1 set | |
