How I Made Compost Under 30 Days? (4 Key Factors)

I prepared compost using kitchen waste in less than 30 days and do you know how by just avoiding these four mistakes that I'm going to tell you about in this video. These are the same things slowing down your compost so we will see how to correct them and how to prepare compost super fast so let's begin and subscribe if you like The first and the most common mistake beginners make while preparing compost at home is providing too little oxygen. more content like this. We use plastic buckets and when we overwater, the compost becomes too wet. Both of these limits gaseous exchange. Instead of going into details, let's talk about the solution. You just have to provide more aeration in the composting bin. For this exact purpose, I am using this grow bag. It's porous so oxygen and other gases can easily get in and out. This ultimately aids the microbes in decomposing the material faster. So, never add too much moisture to your compost because that also blocks gaseous exchange and use a porous container. You can find the grow bag and the composting bin in the description box if you would like to buy them. Timing is another very crucial part of composting if you try to prepare compost in cold weather the process will be very slow. Bacteria and fungi which ultimately prepare compost need a warm environment. When the temperature is too low they become dormant and hence decomposition slows down. More heat means better and faster decomposition by the microbes. So avoid preparing compost in cold weather initiate the process as soon as the spring or summer season begins. another mistake that people make while preparing kitchen waste compost at home is adding the wrong materials you can't just add anything from the kitchen to your composting bin some organic materials especially bones dairy products meat etc take much longer to decompose on the other hand if you use ideal materials your compost will be ready within weeks and i am not just saying that i prepared it at home and the result is right in front of you you can use all kind of vegetable Just avoid lemon and garlic peels as they may inhibit some bacterial growth. You can also use eggshells and fruit peels like these banana peels I am using and especially carbon based materials like dry leaves, cardboard, paper, wheat straw, rice husk etc. I also used some activated biochar which is not compulsory but it improves decomposition. To learn all about biochar and its benefits you can find the link in the description below. So in short, don't use unsuitable materials in your compost if you want to make it fast. And subscribe to our channel if you like more of such tips and tricks. One thing that is most crucial and fixing it saves a lot of time while preparing compost is the carbon to nitrogen ratio. This is what helped me prepare this compost in under a month. It's again about the materials you add. You can't just add all vegetable peels or all dry leaves etc. You have to balance them in the right ratio and give the microbes a wide range of food. They love carbon rich materials like dry leaves, wheat straw, rice husk etc. To achieve this, I used wheat straw in each layer of compost. For every layer of vegetable peels, I used twice as much wheat straw. And you won't believe how quickly the compost was ready. After every few days, you'll see the material settling down. As you can see in these video clips, it's a sign of faster decomposition and that happens because I corrected these four mistakes. After a few weeks, half of the material have settled down. As you can see, when I dug up some of the material, there was black, rich, ready compost inside. This is what it looks like, as you can see. So then I harvested the compost. Not all the material was fully converted into fine compost. Decomposition doesn't work evenly, so using a filter I separated the fine material that is usable. The partially decomposed material can be used again in your composting. this is what our final harvest of compost looks like made from organic material at home in under 30 days you can use it on your vegetable plants it's full of nutrients as well as beneficial bacteria one thing that i used but didn't tell you about is this bacterial liquid it's not compulsory but it helps a lot basically it contains millions of bacteria adding it to compost speeds up decomposition i prepared it at home using just water some jaggery and EM1 You can find a video right here if you would like to learn how and don't forget to subscribe to our channel.
