Things to keep in mind when composting
1. Do not pile the compost too large Because it will cause scorching heat above 70 degrees Celsius
Which will result in the death of microbes The suitable compost pile size is The width should not exceed 2-3 meters. The length is not limited to approximately 1-1.50 meters in height.
2. If the compost pile is too small Will be able to keep a minimum of heat and moisture
Causing plant debris to decompose slowly into compost
3. Do not drench too much Will cause poor ventilation in the fertilizer pile, may cause some organic acids
Causing a foul-smelling odor
4. If a lot of heat is generated in the compost heap Need to add water to the fertilizer pile Otherwise, microbes that will decompose the plant
5. If using lime Do not use chemical fertilizer at the same time as adding lime, as this will cause nitrogen to decay.
In the case of using rice straw in compost heap, no need to use lime
6. Scrap materials used in compost pile are both fast decomposition type such as rice straw, water hyacinth, peanut shell
And beans, weeds, and weeds that are difficult to disintegrate, such as rice husk, sawdust, rice husks, sugarcane residues, flaky coconuts, corncobs. Therefore, in compost piles, we should not mix debris that is fast and decomposed difficult. Because it will lead to uneven composting as some plant debris is not completely decomposed
