Changes in moisture content and water holding capacity during composting process, (A) moisture content reduction in different treatments, (B) water holding capacity in different treatments, (C) correlation between moisture content and water holding capacity. C1 = kitchen waste + fallen leaves (5–10 mm), C2 = Kitchen waste + fallen leaves (1–3 mm), C3 = Kitchen waste + saw dust (5–10 mm), C4 = Kitchen waste + saw dust (1–3 mm), C5 = Kitchen waste + fly ash (5–10 mm), C6 = Kitchen waste + fly ash (1–3 mm). All the values are the mean of triplicate. Error bar represents the Standard Deviation. The alphabet above bars represents the duncan multiple range test.
