How to compost kitchen waste without smell to quickly fertilize plants

Currently, the amount of organic waste from each household’s kitchen is very large, accounting for about 70 – 80% of the total amount of waste. Meanwhile, the need to use organic fertilizer for plants is urgent. So how to turn kitchen waste into organic fertilizer for plants in the simplest and most effective way? We invite you to refer to the article with Duc Binh Microbial Products:How to compost kitchen wasteDoes not smell bad, makes plant fertilizer quick and simple

Using kitchen waste to fertilize plants is highly effective if used properly

1.What is kitchen waste?

Kitchen waste is waste left over from the cooking and food preparation process: leftover food, fruit peels, spoiled vegetables, coffee grounds, tea grounds, eggshells and other organic waste products… These are types of waste that are easily decomposed and processed into organic fertilizer to fertilize plants.

However, not all kitchen waste can be composted. Kitchen waste contains many different types of waste, usually divided into 3 groups:

• The group of easily decomposable organic waste: fruit and vegetable peels and leaves can be composted.
• Reusable group: metal, plastic, paper, nylon, glass,…
• Inorganic waste group is waste products that cannot be used or recycled.

Therefore, to compost kitchen waste effectively, we need to distinguish between what types of waste can be composted and what types of waste cannot be composted.

Distinguish types of organic waste for effective composting

1.1 Types of kitchen waste that can be composted

• Leftover food:Rice, leftovers, waste products from dishes.
• Leftover and damaged peels, fruits and vegetables:Fruit peels, vegetable peels, unused leaves, fruit and vegetable cores…
• Types of residue:Coffee grounds, tea grounds, soybean grounds.
• Types of tissue paper
• Eggshell: Eggshell after use.
• Organic waste:Waste of organic origin arises from the process of using the kitchen.

Choose the right type of organic waste from kitchen waste to compost vegetables

1.2 Types of waste that cannot be composted

It is necessary to eliminate inorganic waste, waste that is difficult to biodegrade, toxic waste… and waste that easily causes bad odors, attracts insects, and disrupts the composting process. These types of waste include:

• Inorganic trash: Plastic bags, plastic packaging, rubber… and other inorganic waste.
• Waste that is difficult to biodegrade:Used oil and grease, dairy products…
• Hazardous waste:Agricultural chemicals, pesticides, chemical fertilizers…

2. Benefits of composting kitchen waste as plant fertilizer

Compost kitchen wasteMaking organic fertilizer brings many great benefits, especially towards green lifestyle and organic agriculture:

• Effectively reduce household waste: Turn organic waste such as vegetable peels, coffee grounds, fruit… into resources, significantly reducing the amount of waste released into the environment.
• Create a source of high-quality organic fertilizer: When composted with microorganisms such as EMZEO, trichoderma, kitchen waste is transformed into nutrient-rich fertilizer containing many beneficial bacteria to help the soil become more fertile and healthier.
• Keep the living space clean: Proper composting process helps eliminate unpleasant odors and control and prevent the growth of flies, mosquitoes, and cockroaches in the living area.
• Improve and restore soil: Compost from kitchen waste makes the soil loose, enhances water and nutrient retention capacity, and restores vitality to degraded and degraded soil.
• Positively contribute to environmental protection and climate change: Reducing landfilling of organic waste directly helps limit Methane emissions – a dangerous greenhouse gas, thereby making an important contribution to efforts to combat climate change.

3. Prepare before composting kitchen waste

3.1 Composting materials

Materials for composting kitchen waste need to be prepared in a variety of ways, ensuring a balance of nutrients to create high-quality organic fertilizer. These ingredients are easy to find and available in every family’s kitchen waste.

• Green organic waste: Provides a source of Nitrogen, easy to decompose, rich in nutrients such as: leftover vegetables, fruit peels, coffee grounds, bean grounds, leftover food…
• Brown organic waste: Provides a carbon source, creates ventilation and balances moisture for the compost pile. Includes: leaves, wood chips, unprinted paper, eggshells, dry straw, tea bag residue, sawdust, coconut dust…
• Molasses: is food for microorganisms, helps microorganisms become more active, and promotes the rapid decomposition of waste into fertilizer.
• Rice water: used diluted with molasses to pour into the kitchen compost bin very well.
• Yeast to compost kitchen waste: You can use types such as original EM, EMZEO, trichoderma mushroom, IMO… However, the fastest way to compost kitchen waste and eliminate odors most effectively is to use the probiotic product EMZEO. Microbial product for treating organic waste EMZEOhelps accelerate the decomposition process of organic waste, quickly eliminates odors, improves compost quality and is biologically antagonistic to soil-damaging fungi.

3.2 Incubation equipment

For optimal kitchen waste composting, you need to fully prepare the following tools:

Trash compost bin:

• Capacity:Choose a compost bin with a capacity appropriate to your family’s daily waste volume (usually from25 to 160 liters).
• With tight lid:Make sure to cover completely to prevent odors from spreading and avoid attracting insects (flies, cockroaches…).
• With ventilation holes:Drill small holes (dia$\approx 0.5\text{cm}$) with equal spacing ($\approx 15-20\text{cm}$) around the barrel body. This helps the garbage “breathe”, maintain ventilation and prevent anaerobic conditions that cause rotting.
• You should choose a box that is designed withside doororblowdown valveto facilitate harvesting the finished organic fertilizer after the composting process is completed.

Support Tools:

• Garbage shredding tools:Use a knife, scissors or small shovel to cut kitchen waste into small pieces. This increases the contact area, helps microorganisms decompose faster and shortens incubation time.
• Cleaning tools:Get readyglovesto ensure safe personal hygiene during the process of classifying, treating waste and composting.

3.3 Location of compost bin

Even though the compost bin is sealed, the biodegradation process is still easily affected by the surrounding environment… Therefore, choosing the bin location is a key factor to ensure hygiene and improve composting efficiency:

• Place the compost bin in a cool, dry place. It should be placed away from the main living areas of the family (such as the kitchen, porch, living room) to avoid being affected by the mild odor that arises.
• The compost bin should be raised 15 – 20cm above the ground
• Avoid leaving the compost bin in wet places, prone to water stagnation or flooding. The compost bin should be placed on a natural, stable, non-sagging ground surface.
