Homemade Compost

Ataya P : As living in Thailand, I do a lot of planting trees, flowers and vegetables. So, I need to make my own compost that cost nothing but good for your plants. Let's see ...

 

First, collecting brown material such as brown leaves , peanut shells, watermelon seed shell, etc. and the green material such as green leaves, banana peels, orange peels.

(Brown material is rich of minerals for your compost and green material is good for speed up decompose process )

Find good air flow basket and add brown material into the basket as the first layer.

 Then add green material as the second layer.

Brown material as the third layer and repeat the process until your basket was full. 

 Add water to make more moisture . Do NOT make it too wet or too dry !!

 Keep it away from direct sun light and placing it in good air flowing place.

After 1-2 weeks , dig the compost up and mixing it well. If the compost looks too dried then add some water. Then keep it safe and wait for next round to mixing it up again .. and again

 After 3-4 months you will get something like this. The homemade compost was ready to serve !!

*** Do NOT make your compost too wet or too dry because the bacteria might gone forever and your compost will not decompose anymore.
*** The time of decomposition is depend on your location. If you living in hot place then it will decompose so fast but it will slow down if your place is cold.
