The layers of vegetable wastes and night soil alternatively piled above the ground to form a mound is called a windrow.

I think the Correct answer is option C.

I think the right answer is WINDROW.

According to theory, the right answer is WINDROW.

According to me, windrow is the correct option.

Yes, it's windrow by Indore method of composting.

(A) In agriculture, windrow composting is the production of compost by piling organic matter or biodegradable waste, such as animal manure and crop residues, in long rows (windrows). This method is suited to producing large volumes of compost.

(B) Windrow composting consists of placing the mixture of raw materials in long narrow piles called wind-rows (Plate 7) that are agitated or turned on a regular basis (NRAES, 1992). The turning operation mixes the composting materials and enhances passive aeration. Typically, the windrows are from 90 cm high for dense materials such as manures to 360 cm high for light, voluminous materials such as leaves. They vary in width from 300 to 600 cm. The equipment used for turning determines the size, shape, and spacing of the windrows. Bucket loaders with a long reach can build high wind-rows. Turning machines produce low, wide windrows.

Yes, it's composting windrow.

According to me, the answer should be (c) windrow.

And can anyone explain why not it should be window?
