Bacteria For Composting

Composting- A helping hand for the next generation

As humans, we generate heaps of waste. Out of that, over 80% is organic waste matter, and the rest is recyclables and other debris. This total waste gets dumped into landfills, and eventually, it gets clustered up. Reducing the amount of waste per household on an everyday basis is challenging. Still, it's possible to reduce the amount of waste from landfills. We can do so with the help of various solid waste management techniques like incineration, sea dumping, composting, etcetera. Composting is a helping hand for the next generation. This method is one of the most environmentally-friendly and cost-effective options for reducing organic waste. It is one of the simpler yet highly effective methods where microorganisms break down organic material in the presence of oxygen. When the same is done with the help of worms, it's called vermicomposting; however, it has its pros and cons.

Looking in more detail, we can broadly classify composting into four categories:

1. Aerated (Turned) Windrow Composting

This composting requires forming long piles of about 3 feet in height and width of organic waste called "windrow." The windrows are aerated periodically, and finally, after a certain amount of time, compost is formed. The process is suited for large amounts of waste generated by the communities, restaurants, cafeterias, etc.

2. Aerated Static Pile Composting

Organic waste is blended in a sizable pile during aerated static pile composting. Layers of loosely heaped bulking agents, such as wood chips or shredded newspaper, are added to the pile to aerate it and allow air to travel from the bottom to the top. The piles can also be positioned above a pipe system that brings air into or removes it from the pile. A timer or temperature sensor may start an air blower.

3. In-Vessel Composting

In-vessel composting can handle nearly any sort of organic waste and process enormous amounts of garbage without taking up as much room as the windrow approach (e.g., meat, animal manure, biosolids, food scraps). This process is dumping organic waste into a drum, silo, trench lined with concrete, or other similar pieces of machinery. This allows it to control environmental factors, including temperature, moisture, and ventilation. It is mechanically spun or mixed to ensure that the material is aerated. The vessel's size and carrying capacity can vary. Compost is created using this technique in a matter of weeks. Due to the requirement for the microbial activity to balance and the pile to cool, it will take a few more weeks or months before it is fit for use.

4. Vermicomposting

Red worms produce compost in bins as they consume food scraps, yard waste, and other organic material. The worms break this substance down into castings, a superior kind of compost. Worm bins are simple to build and can be bought as well. Mature worms can consume up to 0.5 pounds of organic matter daily—about 800-1,000. The bins can be adjusted in size to accommodate the quantity of food waste used to make castings. Producing good castings typically takes three to four months. You can use the castings as potting soil. Worm tea, another consequence of vermicomposting, is an excellent liquid fertilizer for gardens or indoor plants.

Why prefer composting over vermicomposting?

We all have heard for a long time that vermicomposting is more beneficial than regular composting. But there is a vast consequential limitation to vermicomposting. Vermicompost is best for agriculture and horticulture wastes. That is where composting with the help of microorganisms comes on the rise. Microbial composting culture is suitable for all types of waste- Municipal waste, domestic waste, composting machines, and agricultural and horticultural waste. However, it can take time to degrade waste to compost. Adding some bioculture as a bioseed can speed up this process and eliminate many other issues.

Bio Reme Composting is a bioculture for composting that boosts your regime with various features. It is a blend of high potency live bacterial cultures, enzymes, and micronutrients, selected from nature to seed new compost piles with high numbers of environmentally beneficial organisms. The key features of this product are:

• Converts organic waste into high-quality compost that doubles the quality of soil.
• It reduces the odor from the waste pile.
• It increases beneficial microbial activity. That aids the existing bacteria for composting and effectively degrades waste in less time (within 30 to 60 days).
• Increase soil fertility, and it is adequate under most environmental conditions.
• Easy to use, handle and store.
• Compatible with composting machines also.

Swachh Bharat Mission

The government of India has introduced missions and schemes like Swachh Bharat Mission so that solid and liquid waste management facilities can be even accessible in the villages. But just keeping your district or surroundings clean is not enough. Discarding the waste in landfills and dumps without harming the environment is also necessary. With a shelf life of 24 months and a dosage of 1 Kg product for 1000 Kg waste, our product, Bio Reme Composting, assures various benefits. A few include increasing the beneficial microbial activity, reducing the degradation time, reducing odor, and overall, increasing the soil fertility.
