Different Composts for Home Gardening | Difference Between Leaf Compost, Organic Compost, Kitchen Waste Compost & Vermicompost | Gardening With Javed Iqbal
Assalam o Alaikum Friends!
In this video, we will discuss the difference between Leaf Compost, Organic Compost, Kitchen Waste Compost and Vermicompost in a very simple and practical way for home gardeners.
Many gardeners think that all composts are the same, but every compost has a different role in soil preparation and plant growth. Leaf compost is mainly a soil conditioner, organic compost improves general soil fertility, kitchen waste compost helps recycle home waste, while vermicompost is more balanced, standard and gentle for plants.
In this video, you will learn:

My recommended soil recipe for most home gardening plants and vegetables:
50% Vermicompost + 50% Bhalu Mitti / Sandy Soil
This simple soil mix is suitable for almost 90% home gardening plants, vegetables, herbs, flowers and grow bags.
For leaf compost, organic compost or fully decomposed kitchen waste compost, use:
20% to 30% Compost + 70% to 80% Garden Soil / Bhalu Mitti
In summer, you can add around 10% cocopeat for better water retention.
In winter, cocopeat is not recommended because it can hold too much moisture and may cause waterlogging.
Compost improves soil structure, keeps soil soft, supports healthy roots, increases organic matter and helps plants grow naturally. If you want safe, balanced and easy soil preparation for home gardening, vermicompost is one of the best options.
