New Developments Allow for More Efficient Composting
Not so long ago when people did their own composting, they simply had a pile of yard and kitchen waste in their backyard that created offensive smells and took quite a while to comspot down. In recent years with the increased attention to "going green" and renewable energy, more and more people are starting to compost which has spurred companies to develop new and more efficient ways to compost. Now there are all sorts of composters on the market that allow people to compost right in their backyard with minimal effort and smell. Many compost bins themselves are made from recycled plastic, further enhancing their positive environmental impact. Additionally, composters are now being made to be used indoors so kitchen scraps can be immediately added to a compost pile.
Another great advancement in composting is the compost tumbler. Turning a compost pile can be tough work, but it has been made easier with all the various tumblers on the market. Compost material is placed into the tumbler and the user can easily turn the compost which adds beneficial oxygen into the pil to speed up the decomposition process. There are also tools that can be used to easily aerate traditional piles as well.
Now adays with these recent advancements, rich, fertile compost can be made in less than 30 days in some cases vs a couple of months before. So if you want to make your own soil amendments at homw, give composting a try.
