Compost Bin
Does composting require a specialised bin? Can I not use a regular trash bin to compost?
The main difference between a normal trash bin and a composting bin is that a composting bin has many holes/perforations/openings all over it. These holes/perforations/openings serve 2 crucial purposes in the composting process:
They act as vents for the entry of oxygen into the composting mixture. This is a vital requirement for the composting micro-organisms to break down the organic material without creating any malodour. The second purpose is that these holes act as a channel for transpiration. When decomposition of organic matter takes place, water vapour is a by-product of the chemical reaction and the water vapour needs to be drained. If the composting is done in a trash can, the water will not have an optimum transpiration rate. This affects the wet-dry ratio of the composting mixture, resulting in oxygen being unable to interact effectively with the composting mixture, resulting, once again in the generation of malodour.
What are the important ingredients of composting?
There are four basic ingredients in the compost pile: nitrogen, carbon, water and air.
- Nitrogen
- Green materials such as grass clippings, fresh leaves and twigs, vegetable and fruit trimmings, coffee grounds and filters, and non-meat-eating animal manure. Most organic material that has moisture or 'life' still in it is considered a green material.
- Carbon
- Brown materials that have released their nitrogen are usually dry and brittle. Dry leaves and grasses, straw, wood chips, corn stalks, shredded newspaper, paper towels, napkins and cardboard are all good carbon-rich examples.
- Water
- Adding water to the pile will balance the correct moisture level. The proper moisture should be about the same as a damp wrung-out sponge. Few drops should fall when the material is squeezed in your hand.
- Air
- Oxygen is very important to the organisms that are working in the pile to break down the organic material. Bacteria, fungi, microorganisms and insects need oxygen to breathe and air space in which to move throughout the pile.
How does one use a composting bin?
Composting in its simplest form at home or in the garden can be done in these simple steps:
- Line your compost bin with newspaper/cardboard pieces etc. These should be ones that will be completely water soluble.
- Select your kitchen and garden scraps. Start with fruit and vegetable scraps, dry leaves etc.
- Add a layer of the scraps, and cover with a layer of a dry medium such as cocopeat. Keep repeating the process till the compost bin is filled.
- Alternatively, use a layer of dry leaves/twigs etc. over the scraps, but you will have to add a starting ingredient.
- Keep the bin closed at night and keep it open during the day for the moisture content to get adjusted.
- Once the bin is nearing its full capacity, you will have to dig and produce the compost mixture to facilitate decomposition and to improve the growth of the decomposing micro-organisms.
- During the composting period, the pile will be hot to the touch.
- A full compost bin will take about 4 weeks to cure. At the end of this period, you have a bin full of nutrient-rich compost to use in your garden. A completely cured compost mixture is cool to the touch.
How do I take up composting on a larger scale?
Garden composting wherein the volume of compostable items is huge can be done in a mesh-type composting bin. The bigger openings in the mesh allow for the higher level of air circulation required for the huge volume to compost at a faster rate.
