Kitchen Waste For Home Composting, You Can Try

Kitchen waste is a waste that every household will have, melon peels, old vegetables, leftovers ... If it is just thrown away, it will be too extravagant and wasteful, and it will also cause huge pressure on the environment.

The food crops we eat need to constantly absorb nutrients from the soil as they grow in the land, so the soil needs to be replenished in order to have continuous fertility to support plant growth. Composting is a simulation of the cyclic process in nature, and feeding nutrients back to the soil is a matter of great ecological significance. So, what can be used as compost?

With food waste at home, they will decay back to nature. What we have to do is to find a place for them, and then they will have the opportunity to turn into compost. Compost buckets are their shelter. In Australia, horticulture companies have a lot of compost barrels, and some people in the community farms have recycled materials to transform them into creative compost barrels. For those who have a yard, each backyard is equipped with several huge compost buckets. Because there are trees, turf, and vegetable gardens on the land, naturally a large amount of organic matter is generated, and the kitchen waste generated by restaurants and kitchens only takes up a small amount. These compost buckets have no bottom and are placed directly on the ground, allowing small creatures in the soil to come in and out freely and live freely. Kitchen waste will naturally form high-quality compost, and nutrients will be converted into forms that plants can absorb.

Food that earthworms can eat: organic waste organic matter, such as vegetable peels, coffee grounds, tea grounds, etc. Eggshell powder, coffee grounds, very fine rock powder, or sand can help earthworms digest.

Foods that should not be fed: oily and salty foods, spicy foods such as ginger, onions, plastics, metals, glass, rubber, dairy products, meat (prone to worms). Citrus food (orange peel, orange peel, etc.) cannot be eaten by red earthworms. It will become very thin and thin when eaten. There are also foods that are not cooked for earthworms.

The most suitable temperature for earthworms is 15 ° C ~ 25 ° C, 0 ° C ~ 5 ° C enters the dormant state, and die below 0 ° C. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to cooling in summer. You can put a frozen mineral water bottle in the incubator to cool it, and put it in an indoor place where it is not cold in winter. A large amount of garbage is generated on the side of urban life, which causes pollution and high processing costs; while agriculturally cultivated land lacks nutrition for a long time due to lack of balanced supply. Wouldn't it be better if you could link the two sides and change "useless" into "useful"?
