  1. Dr Uday Shankar Bhawalkar's Biosanitizer (various Grades) and Vermi++++ special formulation for composting aid help in best composting without aerobic fermentation common to windrows methods and its various adaptations in India like the NADEP.It can be best described as Cold Composting or better still stabilization aganst further fermentation by microbes.A rich odour free black organic carbon is formed. This is not to be confused with Bio Char, part of Australian Permaculture. I have been cold composting in my terrace garden for many years.
    I find similar results with Swami Valmiki's Guruvani white treated water, when used to keep the compost bin slightly moist, about 20% Overall there should be less or nil emissions of GHG due to almost instant stabilisation of organic bio solids.
