Kitchen composting is the process of breaking down organic matter (food waste) in the presence of air and water using microorganisms and small insects found in nature. The end product, known as kitchen waste fertilizer, is rich in easy-to-use phytonutrients and forms part of healthy soil. It is recommended to buy a bucket and wooden box for kitchen waste composting. It is best made on a balcony or outdoors. Kitchen waste compost will smell bad (mainly ammonia and hydrogen sulfide) when fermented.

Kitchen composting mainly has the following conditions:Carbon-containing organic matter such as dried leaves, sawdust, paper, peanut shells, melon shells, etc., and other nitrogen-containing organic matter such as fruit and vegetable wastes, coffee grounds, and malt powder.

1. air, 2. the right amount of water, 3. kitchen waste treatment and waste-to-energy.

6 simple steps:

1. Separate edible kitchen waste (vegetable peels, fruit peels, small amounts of discarded cooked food) into containers.

2. Collect dry organic matter (dried leaves, sawdust) in a small container.

3. Take a box or bucket and drill 45 different holes around the container to let air in.

4. Put a layer of soil on the bottom.

5. Now start adding food waste, alternating between wet waste (vegetable and fruit peels) and dry waste (straw, sawdust, dried leaves).

6. Cover this container with a plastic sheet or board to help retain moisture and heat. It is recommended to give the pile a quick turn with a rake every few days to provide aeration. If you feel the pile is too dry, sprinkle some water to moisten it.

In 2-3 months, your kitchen waste should begin to form compost of dry, dark brown soil. Kitchen waste composting kits are also readily available. With time and a little patience, you may enjoy composting kitchen waste. It is not recommended for meat, bones, leftovers, leftovers, etc. Kitchen waste leftovers.

The second method

How to prepare nutrient soil using organic fertilizers;

① Field soil is used as the main source of nutrient soil, the ratio of field soil to organic fertilizers is (8:2) to (6:4), and the nutrient soil prepared has a bulk density of about 1g/cm;

② A portion of peat soil is added to the field soil, and then a certain amount of organic fertilizers is added. The ratio of field soil:peat:organic fertilizer was 6:3:1. The prepared nutrient soil was loose, with a bulk density of about 0.8g/cm, and had good water absorption, heat absorption and fertilizer retention properties.

3) Peat and vermiculite were used instead of vegetable soil to prevent the possible pathogens in the vegetable soil from harming the seedlings and spreading to other vegetable plots. The ratio of peat and vermiculite can be 5:5, to add organic or inorganic fertilizer. This kind of nutrient soil is relatively loose, with a capacity of about 0.25g/cm, and has good water absorption, heat absorption, fertilizer retention and air permeability.
