See you again with the daily articles on the website. This time we will talk about making compost. What is compost? Organic fertilizers that are incubated. And acts as a decomposition of organic matter to decompose and partially decay
In most cases, the fertilizer will look dark or dark black. Usually a fine powder form Which is very suitable for the agricultural sector Whether to improve soil quality Or as a nutrient for vegetables and fruits of farmers' brothers
1. Composting
Composting
Composting has many different methods. Depending on the nature of each type of material used to prepare compost There are also many types of compost made. Whether compost from food waste Compost from leaves, grass scraps and garbage from various places. Can also be fertilizer
This compost, in addition to being used in agriculture and vegetables, Can also be used to destroy microbes in the bathroom such as flush toilets or even adjust the water condition to a good amount. When compiling fertilizer into EM fertilizer, it is not difficult to make compost. Because nowadays there are many places that are starting to use tools to help make compost Resulting in a sufficient amount to be used each month Therefore does not need to rely on chemicals at all
Composting isn't just about making day by day. Each time you want But the history of compost has a history that will create a case study of compost Because compost from this natural source has enormous benefits that will help in reducing waste. Or various debris From human skills Helps reduce the amount of energy used in waste disposal. Just starting to process the existing waste can help reduce global warming. Can see that making composting aside from gaining knowledge And also helping to help the weather and the environment
2. Making compost without turning back
Composting
What is compost? Many of you are probably wondering. If not, those in the field of agriculture may not know Or unfamiliar with compost is an organic fertilizer that is caused by the fermentation of organic matter by microbes. In which microbes degrade the body to decompose Resulting in a dark black fertilizer Into fine powder Which is suitable as a nutrient and to improve the soil
Compost became more well-known during the year 1931, with the development and change of formulas constantly. By before 1931, going back to the years 1920-1930 The European countries have begun to develop the use of machinery to help develop the formula of compost easily. And simplify the process It also helps to reduce unnecessary labor. Therefore making it more convenient
Aside from bringing machinery to help develop and shorten the time for composting, There are still inventions of various methods. Out widely Whether it is an air-fermentation Spray fermentation And drainage of liquid until 1942, a new method of cultivation of compost was developed until now. The development and extension of composting is always an extension of ideas.
Composting Oxygen
Is a kind of natural composting By causing degradation to occur slowly But composting using oxygen can control the rapid degradation. By controlling the environment appropriately The important factors affecting air-composting are temperature, humidity, air and organic matter.
Composting Anaerobic
This type of degradation is performed by anaerobic digestion, which produces acids and uses methane as a digestive aid. In which this digestion will produce carbon dioxide And thermal energy In the compost itself
In general, there are many types of microbes in compost. And in a suitable environment Which will be divided into 3 phases
- Medium temperature
- High temperature and
- Temperature drop
3. dry composting
Types of compost
General compost
General compost is caused by the use of organic materials that are available online and various natural types. Come through a natural fermentation process Without adding leavening agents or modifiers to any compost or to accelerate fermentation Which this method will do the natural process By allowing the compost to decompose organic matter from microbes Doing so will cause the release of various nutrients. Come out quickly
Bio fertilizer
Bio-fertilizer is produced by the development and process that is complicated but not very difficult. With the addition of leavening agents in Composting In order to accelerate the fertilizer to make the nutrient release process faster There are various types such as compost from Cod fertilizer Or compost from plants. Both methods have different methods. And the making or the ingredients are different, the same is where the leavening agent is used to speed up the process of releasing nutrients
In general, the fertilizer that can be used is a very simple principle: the color of the fertilizer is dark brown to black. And the general temperature will be similarly heated In which if you try to use your fingers to crush the lumpy fertilizer Will be easily digested and finer And the important thing, the smell of fertilizer is strong And has a pungent odor All of these are indicators that compost can be used to nourish and care for vegetables.
4. Composting Food scraps
Benefits of compost
Compost is very nutritious and nourishing for soil and vegetables. Because the use of compost is to help vegetables produce rich, healthy produce, as well as help the decomposition of plants in the soil to extract nutrients for faster use. It also helps to neutralize the soil condition. And have more complete nutrients Making the soil moist And helps vegetables absorb nutrients more easily and faster
Fertilizer is an important nutrient for vegetables. Including almost all kinds of fruits That farmers have to use in order for the product to flourish Get a pretty tight space Ready for sale to general consumers In organic farming, we also need to use fertilizer to make The use of fertilizer must be fertilizer from natural sources only. Whether manure, chicken manure, pig manure, or even compost from leaves, hay, vegetable scraps, and compost from cherry snails All of which are necessary for use in all agricultural sectors
Dry composting Or is that bio-fermented substance Is important Not only in agriculture But within the general household Making bio-fertilizer or bio-fermented fertilizer Can also be used in the household as well Can see that no matter what compost Made from natural materials All of which have all the benefits
Also does not adversely affect the users and the plants received The use of things around food waste or vegetables, some people think it is worthless. But for people who make bio-fermented water Or that organic fertilizer These things are very necessary to be processed into nutrients for vegetables to grow and grow. It is truly a good source of food for agricultural vegetables.
Many people will think that bio-fermented or bio-compost is foul, uninteresting, but for this article, I want you to look at the perspective that organic farming is non-toxic, it will benefit farmers. And general consumers, however, however, in the era of digital development has played a greater role in life.
Causing many people to turn their attention to bio-fermentation And bio-fertilizer because the society has changed over time. Health treatment Quality inspection is easy, so many people are increasingly interested in the theory of non-toxic agriculture. This article should be more or less useful for those interested in initiating a bio-fermentation. And bio-compost. Try it yourself. I would like you to read it. A bit of basic knowledge
