The best way to make fertilizer from food waste is to mix green and brown materials. In this way, it helps maintain the optimal carbon-to-nitrogen ratio along with proper oxygen and moisture levels, which are essential for a healthy decomposition process. HONBASE food waste composting machines are designed to accelerate the natural decomposition process.
To initiate the system, before putting food waste into the machine, start the composting process with a layer of sawdust. This foundational layer helps balance carbon and nitrogen levels. Next, introduce microorganisms to enhance the breakdown of organic matter, which plays a crucial role in decomposing complex organic compounds into simpler substances. The composting machine facilitates the decomposition process by periodically turning and aerating the mixture, ensuring a consistent supply of oxygen for the microorganisms. The heat generated during decomposition, often reaching temperatures between 50°C and 70°C (122°F to 158°F), further accelerates the process.
As part of daily waste management, food waste can be added to the composting machine in a single batch or in multiple batches, on a regular basis or as needed throughout the day within the maximum treatment capacity. After 7 to 14 days, depending on the efficiency of the equipment and the composition of the food waste, the fully decomposed materials can be discharged as nutrient-rich compost. The compost serves as an excellent soil amendment, enriching soil structure and promoting plant growth. Compared to chemical fertilizers, it is a more natural and sustainable alternative.
