Now the market offers a huge selection of industrial composters: from the simplest and cheapest to the ones that are managed even in the negative air temperatures.
Make advanced composters as follows. Vegetable and food residues were loaded into the container through the upper hatch, and the finished compost was removed by lowering. Each layer of composted waste is poured into the soil or special peat. This is complete with some models. It is not necessary to drain the contents of such composters, as inside the tank there are pipes through which the oxygen enters. The compost preparation process is controlled by a thermometer mounted on the front panel. If the temperature inside the tank drops below 60 ° C, the air supply automatically stops.
The manufacturer makes sure that the finished product is available within one month after the first batch of raw materials is laid out on the composter.
It is possible to judge whether the compost pile correctly "ripens" by the odor coming from it. If the compost is burning like rotten eggs, hydrogen sulphide takes over and you need to add leaves, which are mowed grass. If the odor of ammonia enters the nose, it means that nitrogen prevails and sawdust, the bark or straw should be added to the compost.
