2. Composting process at home
- Prepare tools and ingredients: Choose a compost bin with a lid, a cool place, with little direct sunlight and can install a ventilation system (if necessary).
- Compost layering:
- Create a bottom layer of brown material (dry leaves, sawdust, straw) to absorb moisture.
- Add alternating layers of green materials (leftover vegetables, fruit peels) and brown materials.
- Avoid adding ingredients with grease, fat or too much carbon or nitrogen because it will slow down the decomposition process.
- Moisture control: Water lightly if the mixture is too dry, but not too wet. The ideal humidity is when you hold it tightly, no water flows out, but the material still sticks together (like a wrung-out sponge).
- Stirring: After every 7-10 days, stir well to provide oxygen for microorganisms, helping to decompose evenly and faster.
- Composting: Cover the bin and wait until the compost is completely decomposed (about 25-30 days, depending on the ingredients and composting temperature)
Simple but effective organic composting process
3. How to compost organic compost at home according to technical standards
For the home composting process to be effective, it is important to do it properly with the right ingredients. Let’s learn about 3 ways to compost organic matter below:
3.1 How to compost manure at home
In agriculture, there are many types of manure such as pig manure, cow manure, green manure, etc. Basically, the way to compost these types of manure is similar. We can add additional probiotics to make the process of decomposing organic fertilizer faster and more effective. At the same time, it helps eliminate bad odors during the composting process.
Ingredients
- 1 ton manure
- Rice bran from 2-3kg
- Probiotics: 1 pack of EMZEO, 1 pack of Trichoderma Bacillus Duc Binh
Organic composting process at the barn
- Step 1: Mix rice bran well with EMZEO and Trichoderma Bacillus Duc Binh products
- Step 2: Choose a spacious, dry location to compost manure. Spread a layer of manure on the ground about 7-10cm thick. Spread a layer of rice bran mixture and mixed probiotic products. Continue to alternately spread 1 layer of manure and then 1 layer of product like that until the end.
- Step 3: Water the manure pile with clean water to create a humidity of 50-60%. Hold a handful of manure and gently squeeze it until you see water seeping through your fingers.
- Step 4: Stir the manure pile evenly. Next, form a pile 1.5 – 1.7m high, 3-4m in diameter and cover with tarpaulin to incubate.
If biological products EMZEO, EMGRO or Trichoderma fungus are added, the incubation time is only about 25-35 days. 3 days after composting, check to see if the pile temperature reaches 60 degrees. Every 2-3 days, turn the compost pile once. If the pile is dry, water needs to be added. When the entire pile of manure is decomposed and no longer smells bad, it is a successful way to compost compost at home.

2.2 How to compost organic fertilizer at home from agricultural waste
Agricultural waste products such as straw, coffee husks, rice husks, peanut shells… are all available. can be used for composting and the process is relatively similar.
Ingredients
Straw or coffee husks, peanut shells, rice husks… The better these ingredients are ground or chopped, the better. If using fresh straw, it needs to be composted 25-30 days in advance. If it is dry straw, water it 12 hours before composting.
Biological products: EMZEO incubation feces or EMGRO, Trichoderma fungus Bacillus Duc Binh
Steps for composting from agricultural waste
- Step 1: Choose a suitable composting location. The composting location needs to be dry and waterproof. If the ground is water-soaked, place a plastic tarp underneath before incubation.
- Step 2: Mix the prepared ingredients well with the organic compost product. Spread a layer of straw or rice husk to a layer of probiotics. Keep doing that until the end.
- Step 3: Stir all ingredients well and water to have a humidity of about 50%.
- Step 4: Raise the compost pile about 1.5m high and cover it with a tarp.
- Step 5: After incubation for about 20 days, open the canvas and stir well. Continue to incubate covered canvas for another 30-40 days. After this period of time, the fertilizer will decompose and you can use it to fertilize plants.

2.3 How to compost micro-organic compost at home
In the way of organic composting at homeyou cannot ignore microbial composting. Basically, composting microbial organic compost is similar to the two ways of composting above. More precisely, microbial organic composting is a combination of the two composting methods above.
Ingredients:
All agricultural and forestry waste products and kitchen waste you can take advantage of. The more varieties, the better.
- Sawdust, sugarcane dust, paperdust
- Rice bran
- Molasses
- Duc Binh biological products: EMGRO, EMZEO or trichoderma bacillus mushroom,…

Steps for composting
- Step 1: Choose a spacious, dry, easy-to-transport incubation location
- Step 2: Mix 1 part probiotic with 1 part molasses and stir well. If you can’t prepare molasses, you can use overripe sweet fruits like bananas. However, it is necessary to soak the fruit in water for 3 days before using it for composting.
- Step 3: Spread below the materials that are difficult to decompose such as humus, rice husks,… Next, spread a layer of manure on top. Sprinkle a little rice bran and water with the water mixture just mixed above. Repeat these steps until all the ingredients are gone, then mix well and cover with a tarpaulin to start incubation.
- Step 4: After about 20-30 days, open and mix well. Then continue incubation for 30-40 days so that the organic fertilizer can completely decompose.
Composting microbial compost from many types of organic materials
3. How to use organic fertilizer after composting
After the organic fertilizer has completely decomposed, you can use it directly for many different types of plants without further treatment. Depending on the purpose of use, people can choose one of the following methods:
- For vegetables, flowers, and ornamental plants, you should mix organic fertilizer into the soil about 10–15 days before planting. The appropriate mixing ratio is 2–3kg of organic fertilizer per square meter of arable land. This method helps loosen the soil, increases moisture retention and provides stable nutrition for plants right from the early stages.
- For fruit trees or perennial industrial trees, organic fertilizer should be applied periodically 2-3 times per year, especially at the beginning and end of the rainy season. When fertilizing, dig a trench around the tree canopy and spread the fertilizer evenly, then cover with soil to limit nutrient loss. This helps the plant develop strong roots, increase the ability to absorb minerals, thereby giving high yields and better quality fruit.
- After composting, organic fertilizer can also be used to further compost with inorganic fertilizer or microbial fertilizer, creating a synthetic fertilizer mixture that is both rich in nutrients and safe for the environment. People can also dilute organic fertilizer with water to water the seedlings, helping them take root quickly and grow well.
4. Some notes when composting at home
Composting at home is not difficult. However, to bring the best results, you need to pay attention to the following issues:
- When preparing materials for composting, avoid materials that contain a lot of oils and fats that are difficult to decompose. In addition, do not add too many materials rich in nitrogen and carbon. Because these substances will affect the quality of the compost as well as the composting time.
- Do not add too much additives because this can prolong decomposition time and reduce compost quality.
- During the incubation process, temperature and humidity need to be controlled. If the manure is too dry, add enough water to maintain the ideal moisture level for microorganisms to grow.
- Be careful to stir the compost evenly when composting to provide more oxygen to help beneficial microorganisms work effectively. Thanks to that, organic substances are decomposed faster.
Composting organic matter requires attention to raw material selection
