Answer to Question 1

Compost is the natural decomposition of organic material such as yard waste of leaves,
grass clippings, straw and ground tree branches. It is a sustainable organic nutrient
resource that supplies Nitrogen (N), Phosphorous (P) and Potassium (K) and organic
matter to the soil tilth and soil structure (physical condition).



Answer to Question 2

Humidity is the moisture level of air, and relative humidity is the amount of moisture in
the air as compared with the percentage of moisture that the air could hold at the same
temperature if it were completely saturated. While most plants are not drastically
affected by minor changes in the humidity and grow best in the 40 percent to 80 percent
relative humidity range, some plants are more sensitive than others and can be damaged
by excessively moist or dry conditions
