Peel, rest of vegetables, yogurt ... all this can be composted The name of this process is compost. When you turn your garbage into compost, to the soil may provide a material rich in nutrients (for a vegetable garden or even the plants in your garden) skikda port and, especially, helps reduce the amount of waste that goes to landfills daily and dumps Brazil. Learn how to do home composting and get to work!
STEP 1 - The container you must have a container to put the organic material. It may be a pint of ice cream, a can of paint or a bucket. Worth getting creative with whatever is at your fingertips. If you give to reuse any container, even better. It is important to stick to the bottom. You can do this manually by varying the size of the holes. It is for them that the slurry (liquid removed by decomposing organic material) will pass.
An important detail is that the slurry can be reused, as in this case, is a fertilizer of high potential skikda port (just as it is originated from organic matter). You can pick up and return to your compost skikda port mix or play in plants, diluted (note the ratio: 1 cup of manure for 9 cups of water).
STEP 2 - Underneath The compost container in which you will place the organic material, there should be one that will "collect" the manure. It may be a more shallow bowl, for example. She can not stay in direct contact with the can or jar, because skikda port the manure has a place to drain. Use a shim - as bits of brick - to put down the can and leave it a little more "high" skikda port relative to the bowl. (Composting can even be taken in direct contact with the ground, but in this case the land should have good drainage and be tilted so that the slurry does not accumulate in one location only).
STEP 3 - Time to put the garbage Making compost at home is not only playing the organic waste anyway and let nature do "the rest alone." There is a method to enable, facilitate and accelerate the decomposition of organic skikda port material. skikda port The secret is superimposed skikda port types of organic waste, or the process skikda port is done in layers.
What regulates the action of microorganisms that will decompose the material skikda port is the ratio of nitrogen and carbon. skikda port This ratio should be three to one. That is, a layer of nitrogen to three carbon layers. What is nitrogen? It is the wet material (garbage, itself). What is carbon? It's dry as cardboard, gravel tree, sawdust, dry leaves, grass clippings, and corn husks. (If the relationship is different this does not mean that the composting process does not occur, only that it will take longer).
And ... chop, chop, chop! The smaller is the stuff you put (both the dry and the wet), the better. Start with a layer of dry material, then place the wet material. Then place another layer of dry material, moisten it slightly and continue the process. It is important that the last layer (which will be exposed) is always dry, to avoid bad smell. One option is to put lime on top. Another essential detail is: not cover the compost. The organic material can not be muffled. Oh, look always handle your composter with gloves.
What you can not use: - Remains of food seasoned with salt, oil, olive oil ... any kind of spice; - Citrus fruits in excess, because of the acidity; - Manure from domestic animals like cat and dog; - Varnished woods, glass, metal, skikda port oil, paint, plastic, glossy paper; - Cigarette ashes and coal; - Animal fats (like leftover meat); - Paper magazine and colored printed, skikda port because the ink.
STEP 4 - Wait, but care After you have assembled skikda port the entire structure, it's time to give it time. The first phase is decaying when the internal temperature of the material in the compost can reach 70 C. This lasts about 15 days in the case of home composting. During this period, the ideal is not moving. Then revolve the material is super important to provide oxygen to the process. These "scrambled" can be done in different ways: with a "garden fork" or changing the material of place - to another can, for example.
At this point, you may wonder, skikda port but I generate organic waste every day. I can throw it in the compost daily? Better not. You have some alternatives. The ideal is to add organic matter ca
