BUCKET BIN COMPOSTING UNIT
For individual houses
- Aerating pipes inside, exhaust holes in the top. This helps in easy expulsion of hot air generated inside. Netted holes prevent insect infestation.
- Leachate tank and tap in the bottom: easy collection and removal of leachate
- How to use:
- Spread one layer of dry leaves/ hay/coif fiber to prevent coir dust from Composorb entering leachate tank and blocking tap. Dry leaves need to be added only once in each cycle.
- Spread a layer (around 1cm) of Composorb inoculum over the dry leaves
- Spread 2-3inches of food waste
- Spread one layer (1cm) of Composorb inoculum. Close the lid and keep. Repeat every day.
- The bin will fill in 30 days. Leave it for composting. Use the pair bin for the next month. Use the bins alternatively
- Compost generated using Composorb is a soilless planting media. Can be directly filled into a planter. No soil is required
- Leachate collected is a good microbial regenerator in septic tank. Pour into the toilet and flush to keep your septic tank healthy. Alternatively leachate can be diluted 10 times and used as fertilizer.
- All kitchen waste except coconut shell and husk including bones, lemons, tamarind etc. can added into the Bucket bin. No liquid waste please. It will create slushy compost, more leachate and prevent air flow. Hence drain the liquid from your waste before adding into the bucket bin.
