Composting

Plastic Bag Composting
Plastic bag composting is one of the simplest way of composting. All that is require is just to fill the plastic bag with leaf material. A shovel of soil is put into the bag to supply the microorganism that will degrade the leaves. The soil is moisten to accelerate the microorganism activity. The plastic bag is then shaken and placed in the shade. The plastic bag need to be periodically flipped to redistribute its content. While plastic bag composting is the simplest way of composting the process occur under anaerobic conditions and is much slower than other composting.
Pot Composting
Food waste, vegetables and any organic matter can be composted using the pot composting system. A pot measuring about 12-14 inches in heights are normally used. In each of the pot, a piece of mosquito mesh is place at the bottom of the pot. Pebble are put on top of the mesh. Approximately 2 inches of moist soil is added onto the layer of pebble. The organic kitchen waste are then collected daily and put on the pot. After the waste has been laid into the pot, 2 inches of soil are than added on top of it. This process is then repeated daily till the pot is full. The pot must be protected from sun and rain but the soil must be kept moist at all time.
Pit Composting
Pit composting are ideal for composting food waste. In order to do pit composting, one needs to dig a hole in the ground, fill it in with food waste, layered by about 2 inches of soil and finally at least 8 inches of soil if filled in to cover the pit. Fallow areas in the garden are the best place for making pit composting.

 

Tyre Composting
The bottom of the tyre are filled with some bedding materials; rocks or pebbles. Food waste are then filled into the tyre. Cloth are placed in between the layer of tyres for easy carrying. The soil are kept moist at all time to increase the microorganism activity.
