making compost??????????????????
February 8th, 2010 by admin
what can you put in a compost?
Also can you put grease in a compost?
In theory you can put in anything that once lived. But, unless you have a very tight vermin proof bin, there’s certain things you should avoid. According to a book i have called "Compost" by Kenneth Thompson, you shouldn’t put dairy products, fish and meat, oil and fats. If you’re putting in garden waste, avoid anything that might have fungal diseases and virus. I recommend the book i mentioned above, it is a very no nonsense, practical guide to composting, especially in a small home situation.
How do i use my compost to grow vegetables?
February 8th, 2010 by admin
I have been successful in creating compost in a compost bin, but i’m not sure now what to do with it. Can I make a raised bed or planter and plant vegetables straight into it? or do I have to alter the ph levels and add some stuff to it before it is any use?
Mix it with the garden soil.
Bokashi Refill For All Food Compost Kit
February 7th, 2010 by admin
Now it’s easy to discard meat, fish, dairy and even bones right in your kitchen without the requirements of turning it like you do outdoor compost and without creating unpleasant smells. Developed in Japan, the All Food Recycling Compost Kit (sold separately) quickly and odorlessly converts your organic waste into a high-grade soil conditioner through the use of effective microbes or bokashi – a Japanese word meaning “”"”fermented organic matter.”"”" Similar to the process used to make wine, this system relies on fermentation to decompose the matter rather than putrefaction, so no offensive odor is produced. In about 10 days you can bury the nutrient-rich matter in the garden or add it to your compost pile to help improve physical, chemical and biological environments in the dirt. Sprinkle a handful of bokashi onto the waste every time you add to the bucket. One bag of bokashi is good for one bucket full of compost. Japan. One gallon bag of bokashi.
