How to Do composting at Home
Ingredients Required
1. Composting Container
2. Remix or microbial cocopeat (cocopeat (70%) + compost (20%) + microbes (10%)) - to absorb moisture.
3. Microbes - accelerator
Cocopeat - you can buy from gardening shops
Compost - you can buy from gardening shops or source from existing folks on group if available
Remix - you can buy from daily dump or INORA.
Microbes or Accelerators for composting
1. Readymade available in market from daily dump, INORA
2. Sour buttermilk mixed with Jaggery
3. Cow dung if available
4. Semi done compost
5. Jeevamrut
Procedure to follow:
- Put some remix at bottom of bin
- Add your kitchen waste, spread it evenly in the bin
- add remix on pile so that all waste will be covered.
- Cover the pile with news paper to avoid flies and other insects and put on lid.
- Repeat #2 to #4 every day until bin is 80% full. Keep some space to enter air inside.
- Composting takes at least 30 to 45 days
- Meanwhile, once a week, stir pile from bottom to top and keep the pile enough moist, not too wet not too dry.
- You can add 2-3 tea spoon microbes powder or culture in the pile and stir it. This will accelerate composting process.
Composting Tips
☘ Segregate all types of waste as organic, recyclable and reject. Organic waste to be fed to composting kit. Remove any excess moisture
☘ Go for bigger buckets and 2 nos so that enough space is there. More aeration is better.
🍀 Make sure pile is not compact. Balance of moisture. Not too much dry and not too much wet. Like "Oli bhel"
🍀 Get neem powder from gardening shop. Sprinkle once a week, keeps it healthy.
🍀 Once every 2-3 days stir it to allow aeration to all parts of pile
🍀 If too wet add remix, if too dry spray water. Do not pour water just sprinkle.
☘ Semi compost (half done compost) can be added to fresh compost to help composting
☘ Typical cycle takes 30 to 45 days before compost finally matures and can be used for plants
☘ Recycle compost with cocopeat to creat remix
🍉🍉Watermelon - make sure you break big chunks in smaller size before adding to bin. Helps save space and accelerates composting.
