Which composting method involves using long rows of organic material?

Windrow composting is characterized by the use of long rows, or "windrows", of organic material that are formed to facilitate the composting process. This method allows for easier management of the compost as it can be turned and aerated more efficiently. The rows are typically turned regularly to promote microbial activity and ensure adequate oxygen flow, which is crucial for the breakdown of the organic matter. Windrow composting is particularly effective for larger volumes of material, making it a commonly used method in agricultural settings and for municipal waste management. The open structure and the ability to control moisture levels make it advantageous for achieving optimal composting conditions.
