Abstract

Soil quality is crucial for maintaining the vitality of the land, achieving agricultural productivity, and the activity of biomass, which is one of the main indicators of land vitality. Restaurant and residential organic waste can be put to use to make compost. Therefore, after composting the trash under field conditions, it is necessary to determine the appropriate rate of composting these materials that can be added to the lands of the State of Kuwait. The trash composted for the best time of 90 days under Kuwaiti conditions because to the difficult climatic conditions in the State of Kuwait, the scarcity of freshwater adequate for irrigating the lands, and the dependency on treated water. This shows that adding composted household trash in the State of Kuwait has no adverse effects on the quality of the soil.
