Compost is a product that can be obtained elsewhere than in a composter . An example of this is the mangers or composting piles, which have been carried out since ancient times. However, today, space shortage requires that we take full advantage of it and that we find more spatially effective systems.
In a composter, the compost will always be much more protected from inclement weather (sun, rain, wind) and will not dry out or get too wet; therefore, it will not be necessary to pay special attention or dedication and, therefore, the process will be 3 or 4 times faster. In addition, water should not be wasted to irrigate it when it is dry and visually will not cause any impact to family members or more punctilious neighbors, who do not want to see the remains of food and vegetation in the garden. On the other hand, the composter can be installed anywhere, without disturbing anyone.
The process of decomposition of plant debris within a composter gives off a characteristic and pleasant smell that we can perceive when we open the composter to provide new remains or remove. Remember the smell of the wet forest. This is due to the technical characteristics of quality composters since the millions of organisms that feed on the remains that are deposited in the composter do not allow much time to pass before transforming them into compost.
Mixing the remains from time to time (recommended once a week) will reduce humidity, provide oxygen to the remains and no annoying insects will appear, such as an excess of fruit mosquitoes, for example. In any case, these organisms will also help in the composting process and, in any case, their presence will always be limited within the composter.
Slugs or other organisms, which used to eat the plants, will now leave them aside to go to the composter; therefore, they will be used to eat the vegetal remains and not the flowers of the garden. Moreover, if a snail is seen in the garden, it is best that it be placed inside the composter.
Animals such as dogs, cats or mice cannot enter the composter, since it is a closed container designed to prevent them from entering.
It is necessary, however, to install it at the surface level, without leaving slots.
