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

Answer:

Yes, it is better to use compost instead of chemical fertilisers. The reasons are as follows: (i) Compost is ecofriendly, while chemical fertilisers destroy the natural composition of soil by adding unwanted chemicals into the soil. (ii) Production of compost is easy and harmless whereas production of chemical fertilisers is a costly process. (iii) Chemical fertilisers cannot be decomposed by natural methods hence create pollution of soil and water.
