Home composting is actually easy and many people hesitate to start composting in their limited space garden. In today’s video, let’s learn step by step – how to easily, quickly and successfully make smell free, aerobic compost at home from kitchen waste with some very useful tips and tricks.
In our previous three episodes we discussed on the fundamentals of composting including Types, the CN ratio and demonstrated the anaerobic or bokashi composting method step by step. You can find links to those episodes below.
In Today’s episode, let’s learn How to perfectly make compost at home in 5 easy steps:
1. CHOOSING COMPOST BIN: 0:48
There are many ways to compost. You can either use an open pile composting method or use a compost bin. Open pile method or using a simple chicken mesh boundary is the simplest way to start, but it has its own disadvantages. The best way to compost at home is use a compost bin. Bins have the advantage of being neat, keeping animals, rodents and insects away and preserving heat. You can build your own DIY compost bin from some plastic buckets or even drums or barrels. You can even build a tumbling compost bin. We will show you how to make a compost bin in another detailed episode.
2. CHOOSING THE LOCATION: 2:11
For conventional pile compost method, a sunny location and a flat surface on soil is better. For drum compost making or if using a tumbling composter this is not so crucial.
3. ADDING GREENS AND BROWNS: 2:41
This we have discussed in detail in episode 2 of our composting series.
GREEN TO BROWN RATIO : 4:10
4. COMPOST STARTER POWDER or ACCELERATOR: 4:36
If you are starting for the first time or first batch, you need to add those microorgansisms to start the composting process. This can be either a commercial compost maker powder or a half finished compost or even a fully finished compost or decomposed cowdung can be added as a starter.
5. MATURATION AND HARVESTING COMPOST: 5:32
when the bin is 70 to 80% full, stop adding further waste into it and leave it for 6 to 8 weeks for compost cooking and final maturation.
