Compost ready :)

My last post was on the completion of one month of composting. Well, its been quite some time now and I happily declare that the first cycle of compost is ready.
I sieved it last Sunday and now it is nourishing some potted plants.
Looking back, it was not that much of an effort, just requires a little bit of patience.

I recommend those interested to use this simple and effective method of pot-composting. Ofcourse, there are other options, but this one is tried and tested and yields results.

    Thank you Rozita for hosting this blog and encouraging people to compost !

    I have worked a bit on waste management - and was interesting to see someone else being passionate about composting . (as there are so few people taking segregation and composting seriously)
    After reading this post, I have some questions for you on your methods of composting:
    - Where do you procure Lemon grass spray and Neem cake from ?

    Also how much does it cost per unit / tube/ bottle ?

    I have been practicing composting - while dealing with the smell and maggots - definitely covering with leaves/earth and lid works but that also cuts the aeration.

    I definitely want to try these herbs/additives.

    Also, a tip :
    - Try adding alcohol - get any cheap alcohol - in the beginning - which is the most critical time for initiating the breakdown - higher PH value will multiply the microbial activity exponentially -


    Another question:
    Have you ever tried preparing EM/cultures at home?
    I could share a few tips on them if you are willing to test !

    Thanks for the lovely blog !

    Good luck with the demos,
