Compost maker method that be spelled out here compost maker method simplest and cheapest, that is method windrow. method windrow this is in the execution adopteds concept that developed by departement of agriculture biological engineering, new york state college of agriculture and life sciences, cornell university, united america, mengombinasikan with compost maker method from japanese (bokashi), with use activator em-4.
In the maker execution, done several setting and change that accustommed with local conditon at several processing locations (at indonesia).
ingredient preparation - ingredient hijauan, green coloured ingredient usually many bitrous (n), mengantaranya livestock dirt (cow, buffalo, chicken, goat or pig), pod leaf, corn leaf, fresh agriculture waste, fresh grass cut and others.
- ingredient coklatan, tan ingredient usually many contain carbon (c) tall, mengantaranya rice straw, sawdust, coco peat, bran, husk, wood cut, paper cut, and others.
- ingredient other, household waste, kitchen ash.
for certain ingredient that king sized or long like straw, corn stick, thicket, so that easy compost ingredient dekomposisi, so ingredient best must be refined by be chopped of the size 4 – 10 cm.
tool preparation
tools that need among others:
- compost maker place, best there shelter.
- hoe,
- fork hoe
- gembor/embrat
- water drum
- pail
- casing plastic copy
- thermometer
- weigher
basic commodity arrangement
- compile compost based on basic commodity availability. best ingredient mangandung tall carbon beforehand is kept most under as covering. straw for example, powder gegaji, husk or coco peat.
- furthermore above ingredient a while ago compile livestock dirt liked cow dirt, goat, chicken
basic commodity composition usually done: - straw (most under)
- cow dirt
- sawdust
- goat dirt
- chicken dirt, etc
this compost ingredient arrangement process can be done until height 1 m.
Mix Compost After ingredient is composed complete, then stage by stage ingredient is mixed until flat, while melhat the humidity, when less moist, add water, while added activator ingredient or fermentor.
after ingredient is mixed flat with humidity enough and complete with increasing fermentor, then congested to return to like at first, until height 1 m, form lengthways embankment. wide between 2 s/d 5 m and long can until 50 m. compost stack then closed plastic tarpaulin, so that don't hit direct sunshine or kehujanan. when does close to look at so that immanent road for draught.
Measures Temperature temperature measurement is done every day in several points then registerred. measurement mapping result can give indication about compost maker process, has mixing good and true, is composition balance, does humidity memadai and further.
Turn Compost on to 4 komposting, moment first compost reversal, give attention to points points no 2, 7, 8, 9, 14, perceive the humidity, ingredient mixture and the oxygen cycle. when less moist, or mixture less flat, or oxygen cycle not fluent, so at the (time) of turn must while be done mixing repeat with compost from place that has tall temperature, humidity or mixture or good the oxygen cycle.
do temperature observation on next, map, then perceive. when still there less flat, do to like action above. when is action done truly, so in reversal next different temperature very little and flat relative.
compost reversal besides with use temperature map, also must be done by:
1. turn, mix and keep stack above downwards
2. turn, mix and minyimpan stack middle out, right left
3. turn, mix and keep stack side, left and right to middle
4. turn, mix and composed stack middle under to on
when does compost commutator process 4 times, perceive colour change, aroma and temperature.
when has the colour turned into brown blackness, then compost aroma resembles soil aroma, so process komposting finished. leav at the post temperature depreciation.
Screening after process pengomposan finished, kemdian done temperature stabilization, so stage next done penyringan to get size yng uniform and the appearance is better. beside that when sifted, so when does applications at field far easier.
