Creating high-quality compost using the traditional method takes at least one and a half to two years. However, there is a technique that allows you to obtain ready-made fertilizer in 2-3 months. November composting using three available kitchen scraps is particularly effective.
The basis for the accelerated process is optimal conditions for the work of microorganisms. When temperatures drop, certain components are required to maintain bacterial activity. The best results are demonstrated by a combination of three types of organic waste.
To prepare quick compost you will need:
- Coffee grounds – contains nitrogen, macro- and microelements;
- Banana peel is a source of potassium and phosphorus;
- Eggshells are rich in calcium and minerals.
The preparation technology includes the following stages:
Plant residues and leaves are placed in a compost pit or container.
The crushed accelerator components are distributed evenly.
The layers are shed abundantly with water.
The mass is covered with dense material to maintain temperature.
The cooking process takes 8-10 weeks, provided that optimal humidity is maintained and the contents are regularly shoveled. The resulting fertilizer is characterized by a loose structure, rich color and lack of unpleasant odor.
