uncomposted
Still awaiting breakdown
Uncomposted describes organic material that has not undergone composting—the decomposition process that transforms waste into nutrient-rich soil.
Uncomposted kitchen scraps attract pests.
The term appears in gardening and waste management contexts, often warning against adding raw material where finished compost belongs: Don't add uncomposted manure directly to your vegetable beds.
