Additional Guide to Organic Composting

June 18, 2011
There is a plenty of written matter out there related to compost and the last thing you want to get is technical features of the methods and the systematic way behind the valuable of using composts.Actually, I am agree with the fact including technical description which is necessary as well, but it would be good to write or read something more on this subject.

Compost word is associated somewhere with the chemistry means natural element that is added to the soil which performs more than just being manure. IT is a conditioner for soil and something that helps to enhance fertility that your plants require. With the help of compost soil is able to store max water, which is useful to your plants.

There are various things we read or hear about composting methods which we can use. I think perhaps the no turn method will be easy because you don’t need to turn the ingredients of the compost once in a weak to make faster the procedure of decomposition. In this no- turn method, only you will have to put a plenty of waste or rough materials into your compost.

Putting a plenty of dry hay would work wonder, it will just create air pockets and allow the collection to be aerated. You can imagine your compost to be cultivated at the same scale as when you make use of compositing methods. Whenever you use this method to compost make sure to get your organic fertilizer from the bottom of the collection. Only add compositing materials on the top as well as coarse materials.

If you have only piles or only collections of leaves in your garden or yard, then you don’t need to worry, you can create organic fertilizers from leaves alone. For this you will have to follow a couple of things and some easy steps. First select a place where you want to make your compost pile; make sure place should be a well shaded area so that the piles don’t be wet or muggy. Second, while fencing the pile make sure the collection of leaves should not be fence tightly, keep it loose so that it allow the air to put into the atmosphere. Approax 4 to 6 months, compost from leaves should be ready to use. Keep in your mind; anyhow, prepared compost from the leaves doesn’t hold plenty of mineral to perform as a fertilizer. Thus the prepared compost is an amazing thing for soil.

While decomposition you will require organic materials rich in carbon and nitrogen such as fruits and vegetables peals. Don’t add chicken bones as it attracts pests and mammals. Other materials involve include eggshells, pine needles, grass or shrub clippings, coffee grounds, seaweed and kelp, tea leaves , wood ash, shredded paper and cardboard , wood chips, corn stalks, and sawdust.

To stop the pests and fruit flies from reproduction into your collection of leaves, cover the pile and squeeze the lime over the top or add it during adding the new materials. Both (lime and calcium) helps in balancing the odors from the pile.
So I think from this information you were able to have an intelligible idea of compost and got some valuable clues. Take a mental note that it is not possible only if when you want to it to be.

June 17, 2011
If you are considering making a compost bin and you don’t have enough space to compost or just want to do composting on a small scale without bringing a full size bin, think a compost bin from plastic storage container. This is easy and simple compost in a short period of time.

Accept a plastic storage bin.
We can find Plastic storage bins almost everywhere, and most of us have at least one of them in our home, basement or garage. The bin you want to use should be no more than 18 gallons and it must have a lid. If it carries second lid also then it would be perfect to store the liquid that drain out of the bin, else this valuable liquid will be wasted.

Get ready the bin.
Make sure that your compost bins getting proper air to help it decompose faster. To maintain this in a plastic bin you will have to make holes, while making holes keep in mind that one hole should be 1 or 2 inches apart from second on all sizes, lid and bottom. It doesn’t matter what size you have made, if you do a number of holes. If you use tools such as spade, hole cutting apparatus, you should to line the interior of the bin with wire mesh or hardware cloth to keep it away from rodents.

Place your bin in a comfort spot.
Actually this bin will fit anywhere as it is very small. If you don’t have space outside your house or you are living in a flat then a porch, a patio, or a balcony will work better. If you have space, then just put it outside the kitchen door so that you can add scraps easily, or near your garden so that you can toss the garbage.

Filling the compost bin.
Anything you can add in a normal compost bin, you can throw into it: weeds, leaves, fruit peel, vegetable peels, egg shells, tea bags, coffee grounds, and grass clippings all are decomposing things. Whatever you add in your compost bin make sure it should be chopped properly so that it will break down easily despite small space. Fruits and vegetables, leaves, and eggshells can be chopped or crushed small so they will break them down faster.

Manage your bin.
Every day check the bin and aerate the bin by giving it quick shake. If the materials of the bin get very wet or some unbearable odor coming from the bin, don’t worry and add some shredded leaves or sawdust, it will dry it out and help to maintain the green to browns that makes the ingredients dissolve quickly. If the ingredients are too much dry use the spray bottle to return their moisture.

Harvesting and using your compost.
Use a simple compost shifter to run harvest the finished compost all through so that the large materials are separated of the finished compost. Anything if you think it should go back again for decompose, put it into the bin and dark and brown (easily destroyed colored particles) finished compost can be used immediately in the garden or put in a container.
You can use this plastic storage bin composter all over the year and it is an interesting solution for those who don’t have space for gardening.
