WOW! Compost! - GUI

Tulisan yang lebih jelasnya :

Composting returns nutrients held in vegetable cuttings and other organic waste to the soil. A compost pile needs a mix of greens and browns or moist and dry organic matter. This is laid in repeated layers.

The aim of composting is to create the best conditions for micro-organisms to break down organic matter. The work of micro-organisms causes the compost pile to heat up. A good compost pile will heat up to between 40oC-70oC

At GUI, these materials are used for creating the layers in compost:

1.       Vegetable scraps (“green” or “moist” layer)

2.       Used coffee grounds (a “moist” layer that has already begun fermenting will speeds up the action)

3.       Dry leaves and sticks (“dry” layer)

For best results, break you organic matter into small pieces to help speed up decomposition. While moisture is essential, compost should not be too wet. Ensure there are holes at the bottom of your pile for air to come in and for water to drain away.
