BENEFITS OF COMPOSTING
1. Composting adds organic materials to soils making these soils more productive and optimal for plant vigor.
2. Composting improves aeration to the root zone of plants.
3. Composting helps sandy soils retain moisture and builds soil structure allowing plants to utilize natural nutrients in soil. This helps to reduce water consumption.
4. In hard or clay soils, compost improves drainage.
5. Compost helps reduce topsoil erosion and minimizes the need for chemical fertilizer.
6. Machines used for managing Municipal solid waste (MSW) are also referred to as RDF plants, waste segregation plants, etc. Saincraft has the expertise in establishing a large-scale Municipal solid waste (MSW) compost plant. Offering various technical solutions, our compost plant is designed keeping in mind the need of rural as well as urban areas. Every day our advanced machine helps in recycling tons of waste that are segregated and converted to compost, refused derived fuel (RDF), recyclables.
WHY COMPOST ?
Organic waste constitutes up to 50% of what people throw away in the trash. While it is true that you cannot compost all of it, composting can crucially cut down on the overall trash. It is great for the environment and the community. Here are some other good reasons highlighting the advantages of composting:
1. COMPOSTING PROMOTES HEALTHY PLANT GROWTH
Adding compost to the soil makes it healthy and more ideal for plant growth. With more organic matter, the soil can retain water and air in a better way. Overall, it benefits the entire ecosystem.
AEROBIC COMPOST:
a. Helps in making clay soil airier.
b. Increases organic matter in soil and helps plant absorbs some extra nutrients.
c. It May even help control soil erosion.
d. Helps sandy soil retain water.
e. Helps in maintaining pH levels in the soil.
2. COMPOSTING REDUCES THE NEED FOR PESTICIDES AND OTHER ARTIFICIAL FERTILIZERS
Compost enriches the soil and thus reduces the need for synthetic fertilizers. This is great as it reduces your cost as well as offers all things good to the soil. Furthermore, compost contains a variety of nutrients that alters soil structure and help them retain nutrients effectively over some time.
3. COMPOSTING COULD SAVE MONEY
Organic waste constitutes the majority of the waste that ends up in our trash. If we opt for composting it can save a huge amount of waste being sent to landfills which in turn saves the price we pay for its disposal.
4. COMPOSTING CAN HELP IN REDUCING EROSION
By providing nutrient value to the soil, composting can help reduce erosion by improving the soi’s ability to hold water.
5. LASTLY, COMPOSTING IS A SATISFYING ACTIVITY
When you compost, you become more aware of the trash you generate in general.
WHAT ARE THE BASIC COMPOSTING INGREDIENTS:
Greens and browns are the two main types of ingredients in compost. Greens are rich in nitrogen and include materials like fruit & veggie scraps, eggshells, coffee grounds & filters, fresh grass clippings while browns are rich in carbon and include materials like dry leaves, branches, twigs, shredded newspaper, paper towels, cardboard, and napkins.
