How to transform organic waste that you throw into the garbage into natural compost?

With a little patience and letting nature act at its own pace, it is easy to always have a natural fertilizer on hand from which the plants you have in your home or garden will obtain all the nutrients they need.

The Spanish Association of Agronutrient Manufacturers (AEFA ) defines compost as a product obtained by aerobic fermentation of organic waste. According to current legislation, the compost that we can purchase must contain at least 25% organic matter, but if you want you can do it at home 100% natural.


How do you make homemade compost?
If you dare to try, your plants and the environment will thank you and, in addition, you will save money on chemical fertilizers. As experts point out, compost is a basic element that helps to achieve a more fertile soil .

To start composting you need very little. Ideally, you should have an appropriate container, a composter or compost bin , although a plastic bucket can also be useful.

To compost, you simply have to get into the habit of separating organic waste and taking what is useful for composting to the container.

It is advisable to start by placing a first layer of soil, dry branches or waste from cleaning the garden . Once the bottom is prepared, you can start to put the remains of usable food in the composter, for example fruits and vegetables, including seeds and shells, eggs, also with the shell, any food "half eaten" but that is in good condition (not rotten ). What you should not use for compost are the remains of meat or fish , nor their bones or thorns. Of course, we are talking about organic remains, so plastics, bricks or any type of metal or paper container are not valid . You should not pour oils either, neither raw nor used, nor some elements that could be toxic, such as the burnt ashes of a barbecue coal.

It is not about throwing it all in at once, but about going every day to dump the waste generated so that, little by little, it begins to ferment.

How long it takes?
The decomposition of food scraps occurs slowly. It can take between a month and a half and three months to see the first results , depending on the amount you want to achieve.

At this time it is essential to stir the compost every so often to aerate it and promote fermentation . Also, it needs some humidity, so if you have the compost bin outside, take advantage of a day of fine rain to uncover it and make it wet (you can also water it lightly).

If you see any worms, do not worry, it is normal and when the compost is ready for use, you will no longer see them. It is a clue to know when it is time to give it to your plants. Others are: the color, which must be very dark brown , almost black and the texture, which must be spongy, without the organic remains that you have been adding are visible.
