Composting

A natural process that converts organic, biodegradable material into a dark, rich soil amendment with beneficial microorganisms and nutrients that can contribute to the health of your soil.

Our Implemented Aerobic Composting Techniques

Aerobic Compost

 Utilizing and depending on naturally fluctuating temperatures (ranging between 80 - 160 degrees), this process cooks and breaks down organic materials. Over a span of 4 to 5 months, diverse habitats emerge, attracting a range of decomposers, including worms, which aid in the composting of the material. 

Then, Vermicomposting

Aerobic Compost and worm castings

The use of worms (red wigglers, African & European nightcrawlers) to compost organic material.

Why the heated method?

High temperatures

Volatilization of some heavy metals

Pathogen reduction

The temperatures are achieved naturally from the microbial activity. This also contributes to breaking down complex organic compounds and some organic contaminants.

Pathogen reduction

Another benefit of the heat produced by the microbial activity is an environment that can effectively kill harmful pathogens, including certain bacteria, viruses, and parasites. At the same time healthy, beneficial bacteria, fungi and microorganisms are developing.

Volatilization of some heavy metals

Some heavy metals convert into gaseous  form at these temperatures, which can reduce the concentration of the metals in the Black Au. We have to acknowledge that they are not completely eliminated.

Moderate temperatures

Degradation of organic contaminates

Moving into the moderate temperatures of the mesophilic phase the system is about halfway through the process.
