Concept:

Bangalore method

It is an anaerobic method conventionally carried out in pits. 

In the Bangalore method of composting, dry waste material of 25 cm thick is spread in a pit and a thick suspension of cow dung in water is sprinkled over for moistening.

Indore method

It is an aerobic method. 

The Indore method of composting in pits involves filling of alternate layers of similar thickness as in the Bangalore method.

However, to ensure aerobic condition the material is turned at specific intervals for which a 60 cm wide strip on the longitudinal side of the pit is kept vacant.
