How can leachate be effectively managed and utilized in composting processes?

Leachate, which is the liquid that drains from compost piles, can be effectively managed and utilized in composting processes by collecting and treating it to prevent contamination of the environment. It can be used as a nutrient-rich liquid fertilizer for plants or returned to the compost pile to help maintain moisture levels and enhance decomposition. Proper management of leachate is important to ensure the sustainability and effectiveness of composting operations.
