HOW TO PREPARE THE COMPOST

HOW TO PREPARE THE COMPOST

There are different techniques for composting. Each one must choose it according to the type of organic remains they have, the quantity and the relationship between it and the time it takes to produce it.

The procedure to follow is the one taught by the different natural ecosystems. For this we always remember how the life of the soil works by seeing the following profile:


Soil formation process. 1Roca Madre; 2 Influence on the rock of temperature changes, wind; 3Action of water and its mineral salts; 4Action of living beings; 5 Joint action of all organic and inorganic materials.

    As you can see in this image a fertile soil and the most full of life (5) is the example to follow in composting techniques. Organic elements that have finished their life cycle fall on the soil surface. Between the most superficial and the deepest layer of this profile and close to the most superficial one we can find the humus that is the storehouse of the nutritive substances for the plants in the subsoil. The humus is the final and permanently changing result of the composition of all organic and plant materials that are deposited on the surface of our soils. In the words of Mariano Bueno "Humus is the key to fertility, it is the intermediate state between organic life and inert minerals."

The composting that we intend to do is to create a series of conditions so that in the place where we choose to act microorganisms and macro-organisms at their leisure and in the most comfortable and desirable way possible. That huge association of different and diverse lives will do the job, the sidewalk, the auzolan.
