How many different types of compost are there?

Two, through aerobic or anaerobic (without air) decomposition, is the number that generally is given for the different types of compost. The breakdown of carbon- and nitrogen-rich recyclables supplies cultivators, farmers, gardeners, growers and orchardists with dark-colored, fresh-smelling, nutrient-rich compost. Compost additionaly will be grouped by one of two temperature drives -- cold or hot -- and by one of three inputs -- animal manure, vegetable debris and scraps, and vermicompost -- or by one of four uses -- lawns, perennial beds, shrubs and trees, and vegetable gardens.
