One of the green lifestyle that we can implement is to manage organic household waste, by making it into compost.

Compost is a fertilizer made ​​from organic waste.
Preparation is not too complicated, does not require a broad and does not require much equipment and costs. Preparation requires only the introduction, then when it's routine, do not bother even besides reducing the waste disposal problem, the resulting compost can be used alone, does not need to buy.

Useful compost to improve soil structure, the necessary plant nutrients will be available. Microbes present in compost will help the absorption of nutrients that plants need. Land will become more crumbly. Plants are fertilized with compost will grow better. The results are the flowers grow, the page becomes beautiful and shady. Eve to be fresh because the oxygen produced by plants.

How Compost Happens

Organic waste will naturally experience different types of decomposition by microbes, animals that live in soil, and fungal enzymes. This decomposition process requires certain conditions, ie temperature, air and moisture. The more suitable conditions, the faster the formation of compost in 4-6 weeks already finished. If organic wastes are stockpiled, just months later into compost. In the composting process will occur krn heat microbial activity. It's a sign of microbes munch organic material and turn it into compost. Optimum temperature composting remedy and should be preserved is too hot 45-65C.Jika must be inverted, at least every 7 days.

Tools

Inside the house (living room, dining room) and in front of the kitchen provided two different bins for organic waste color and non-organic waste. Required plastic tub or drum used for composting. At the bottom was given a few holes to remove excess water. To keep moisture from the top can be covered with burlap or woven bamboo. Basic Tub composting can be ground or paving blocks, so that excess water can seep down. Tub composting should not be subject to rain, should be under roof.

How to manufacture

- Mix 1 part of green waste and a waste of chocolate.
- Add 1 part old compost or top soil (top soil) and mixed. Soil or compost containing active microbes that will work to process waste into compost. If there is animal manure (chicken or beef) can also be mixed.
- Creation can be at once, or layer by layer for example every 2 days plus a new litter. Stirring every 7 days.
- Composting is complete when the mixture becomes black, and no smell of garbage. At week 1 and 2 describe microbes begin to work to make compost, so the temperature to about 40C. At week 5 and 6 the temperature returned to normal, the finished compost.
- If you need to be sifted to separate the rough. Coarse compost can be mixed into a bath of composting as an activator.

Composting success lies in how we can control the temperature, moisture and oxygen, so that microbes can obtain an optimal environment for breeding, is enough food (organic material), humidity (30-50%) and air (oxygen) to breathe.
Organic garbage should be chopped into small pieces. To speed up composting, bio-activator can be added to a solution of effective microorganism (EM) which can be purchased at the farm store.
