Sealed composting is the most suitable method for home gardening. As for the smell, the director will solve it for you.

Many people who have done kitchen waste composting are frightened by its smell and get cold feet. More than 90% of them choose the sealed composting method, but do not know the main points of its method.

Sealed composting is the only composting method that uses anaerobic fermentation. it has a long composting period and takes 4 to 6 months to complete.

Some Taiwan friends wondered: since the sealed composting method tastes so strong and the speed is so slow, why does the director still introduce it?

The reason is that it is a very convenient composting method, and the operation method is very simple, so it can be regarded as the most suitable composting method for home gardening.

Implementation steps of sealed composting method

1 collect kitchen waste

Collect kitchen waste and drain as much as possible. If you have a large area of kitchen waste, please cut it into small pieces first, which will help to shorten the fermentation time.

2. Place composting box strainer

Open the composting box and put the strainer at the bottom.

3 put in rough bran

Pour in a layer of chaff first to help absorb moisture.

4 put in soybean meal

Put in soybean meal or rice bran, just a small amount.

5 put in the kitchen waste

Put in the kitchen waste and spread it as evenly as possible, 3cm to 5cm deep.

The director hints: take a family of four as an example, pour kitchen waste about once every two days. If there is too much kitchen leftover, please deal with it in layers.

6 sprinkled with bacteria

Add bacteria to speed up fermentation and reduce odor.

7 make the food leftovers dense

Press the leftovers with the palm of your hand.

8 sprinkle with coffee grounds

Add tea dregs, coffee grounds, tea powder and other things that are easy to absorb the taste to reduce the smell.

The director's tip: if no one in the family drinks coffee, you can go to the coffee shop to ask for free coffee grounds. The tea that has been soaked at home can be dried in the sun, or you can go to the black tea shop and teahouse to ask for the soaked tea.

9 completely cover the food waste

Cover with a layer of chaff or culture soil until no food waste is seen.

10 production completed

Press it with the palm of your hand and remember to close the lid when you are finished.

The director suggested that liquid fertilizer will be produced in the sealed composting box. After it is made, it should not be placed on the ground. It should be placed on a shelf or chair. It should be at least the height of a plastic bottle from the ground to facilitate the collection of liquid fertilizer.

11 collect liquid fertilizer

After 7 days, please collect liquid fertilizer from the outlet of the box with an empty plastic bottle, and then collect it every 3 days.

The director suggested that the fresh liquid fertilizer should be the color of orange juice with a sweet smell. If the color is too dark or the taste is pungent, it means that the liquid fertilizer is not fresh enough and should be collected in advance.

12 for a month and a half

After the composting box is full, sit quietly for 3-4 weeks, pour the half-cooked compost into wooden boxes, cedar buckets or large flowerpots, and place it for another month and a half, stirring it once or twice a week. Cover but not cover tightly, and you will find that there is less and less undecomposed stuff.

The director suggested that when the semi-cooked compost soil is poured into the wooden box, if you feel very wet, you can pour in the chaff and mix well, adjust the moisture, and so on, the compost soil is naturally ripe.

Tip: the fermentation speed is slow, please ask the strain for help.

Sealed composting is not easy to grow insects because it is anaerobic fermentation, but the biggest problem is odor; and its fermentation speed is very slow, so it needs to add bacteria, which can not only promote the fermentation speed, but also reduce the odor.

There are many kinds of bacterial soil sold on the market, and there are also bacterial active solutions, which Taiwan friends can buy as needed.

The director suggested: if the bacteria on hand just run out, and it is not convenient to purchase immediately, you might as well pour some of the collected liquid fertilizer into the composting box, which is rich in live bacteria, which can help decompose kitchen waste.

Characteristics of sealed composting

Type: oxygen-free compost

Content: raw food waste, cooked food waste, fallen leaves

Space: must be operated outdoors, such as balcony, balcony, courtyard, roof

Planted on the balcony.

Not bad. Through the detailed implementation steps and the characteristics of the sealed composting method summarized by the director, is it convenient for Taiwan friends to choose and use this composting method?

Don't worry, the station director will also talk about other composting methods and techniques. I hope Taiwan friends who can use their own composting will wait for the station director to talk about it.

I don't know if what the station director said was clear and detailed. For those Taiwanese who do not understand it, the director has written a hidden poem for you. It may not be well written, but it can help you find the director.

-- to challenge: four poems with hidden head and tail, the first word is connected with the last word, you can get the eight-character motto and summon the head of the stage to be real! Remember to say when you come: "Director, I have cracked your secret."
