6. Do you think it is better to use compost instead of chemical fertilisers? Why?

Ans: Because: 1) Compost is eco-friendly and harmless. It maintains the texture and fertility of the soil.Chemical fertilisers destroy the natural composition of soil and have adverse effect on human health. 2) Composting helps in recycling of matter and also in disposal of garbage. Leaching of chemical fertilisers causes water pollution and death of aquatic organisms. 3) The production of compost is easy, cheap and harmless whereas production of chemical fertilisers is costly and problematic.
