subject: The Making Of Organic Fertilizer From Recycled Food Waste [print this page] If there is one trash or garbage that has to be strictly segregated, it is the garbage from the kitchen. These are spoiled foods and ingredients that have to be placed in a separate trash can. This should not be thrown to the garbage collector truck; rather they have to be thrown to your composting area.
Composting or compost
This refers to a mixture of decaying plant, animal or organic materials. Excess and spoiled foods are included in this type of garbage. Instead of throwing them to the bag taken by the garbage collector, dispose these garbage from the kitchen in your backyard where there is a compost area. The garbage is decomposed through the use of aerobic decomposition. The result is a rich, black soil. The soil by-product is what we call compost; which actually is an organic fertilizer useable for planting and gardening. In essence, this is also recycling of food wastes.
The Kitchen Compost Pail
The kitchen compost pail is one method of composting. And this process can involve your whole family in the process of recycling. With this method, no excess or soiled foods will go to waste. In fact, this is a very good method for the family's start towards a green life - a way of showing your love for Mother Earth.
The kitchen compost pail has already been introduced without much support. This is the ideal tool for the kitchen. The kitchen compost pail is a white enamel powder coated compost pail. It has been manufactured commercially. This pail is stainless steel that can hold as much as one gallon of food scraps. It is equipped with carbon filter that would absorb the smell of the goods contained inside. It has a lid for covering and a handle for carrying. The kitchen compost pail can just be among the trash cans in the kitchen which is accessible to any member of the family who wishes to throw organic materials.
You can teach recycling to the whole family by engaging them to use the garbage can. This is actually contributing to the green campaign for a pollution-free country. This compost recycling will also give the landfills extra benefit. The garbage will no longer be thrown to the landfill; instead they land in the compost for recycling into organic fertilizer.
Benefits from compost
This is recycling and you are helping the landfills by preventing additional garbage be thrown therein. The organic fertilizers from compost are very beneficial to the garden. You are starting a "green life" and in essence is helping Mother Earth get rid of the toxins.
Garbage segregation is about reuse, reduce and recycle. In doing a composting job at home, you reuse the soiled and discarded food waste, you reduce the amount of garbage that will go to the landfill and you have recycled the useless wastes into useful organic fertilizer.
