Kinds of composting

Types of Composting


If you enjoy reusing your daily home scraps, then composting may just be the answer you're looking for. It is a natural process that helps recycle and breakdown organic wastes into a valuable organic resource. Also associated with this procedure are a variety of microorganisms, fungis, and great germs. Besides these assets, this procedure also has its types. There are three types of composting, and these are: aerobic, anaerobic, and worm composting.


You can further help lessen the accumulation of wastes in garbage dumps by putting into practice these 3 types to making compost. You can choose to do some aerobic composting for starters. With the aerobic process, you'll need to compost your organics with oxygen being present in the system. Although this can be of high maintenance, this process will surely give you great results later on. All it will require of your compost is that it be provided a routine blending and turning, so that air can be contained, and that temperatures be kept high. Wetness in the system should also be inspected often. And by turning your compost regularly, it will break down quickly, and will not produce any nasty smells.


The second type would be anaerobic composting. Anaerobic works without having the need for oxygen (total reverse of aerobic). If the aerobic process needed routine up-keep, anaerobic on the other hand, will not need much caring for. Now anaerobic garden compost may need to take years for whatever to be broken down completely. You can in fact associate it to trash that goes straight to land fills. Those of which produces a horrible smell later on. Although there will be lots of germs present in the system, but they'll be really slow at work in this kind of setup (given that there will be no air present in the system).


The last kind to the three kinds of composting would be vermicomposting. Now this is in fact known to be the most useful kind when composting organic wastes. This process works well with making use of worms (the red worm or nightcrawler type), along with excellent bacteria and other beneficial bugs also. These organisms will be the ones to breakdown the organic materials; and will then end up being the source of food for the worms (the worms will eat the bacteria together with the organic scraps). This in fact prefers the worms as they are born with no teeth for chewing. Going back, similar to the aerobic procedure, it also requires that air and moisture be present in the system. So for your worm garden compost task to work, you'll also need to provide it some extra care and maintenance. You can go into this process by trying your hand on The Worm Factory.
