Prabhat Warmi Compost

Prabhat Warmi Compost is located at 238 in the Huda area, spanning across those plots in Sector-11 & 12. It’s not a clean job, that’s for sure. We spend our time out in the open, dealing with piles of organic waste and the worms that do all the hard work. You get used to the earthy smell after a while, though visitors usually crinkle their noses when they first arrive. The space is divided into different pits and sections where the compost sits and matures. We don't have much of a building, just a small shed for the tools and a place to sit when it rains. The sun can be pretty brutal in the afternoons, so we try to get most of the heavy turning done early in the morning. Our clothes are usually stained with dirt, and there is always mud under our fingernails. It’s a quiet life compared to the industrial sectors nearby. We watch the seasons change by how the compost reacts to the heat or the moisture. People from the local neighborhoods come by to pick up bags for their gardens, and we usually end up talking about their plants for longer than we should. There are no fancy machines here, just shovels, some sieves, and a lot of waiting for nature to take its course. It’s honest work that makes you tired by sunset, but it feels okay.
