制作堆肥的方法

1.準備兩個大桶,在桶底凿一些小洞让多馀的水分得以流出桶外(堆肥需要水分,但不能太潮湿)

2. 材料:
2.1溼的材料:豆渣、椰渣、果皮、菜叶、茶叶、咖啡渣、蛋壳等
2.2干的材料:樹葉、椰葉、草、树支、木屑、纸张、泥土等


3. 先鋪放石頭在最底層

4. 放一层泥土

5.第二層放溼的材料 (湿的材料确保堆肥不会太干燥,如果太干燥,堆肥材料无法分解)

6. 第三層放干的材料

7. 重復5),6),5),6)到桶滿爲止

8.蓋上一塊可通風的布,置放在雨淋不到的地方以免太潮湿(太潮湿会导致材料发臭)

9.兩個禮拜后,拿鏟子翻松堆肥材料,然后倒進另外一個桶

10. 每一个或两个星期翻动堆肥材料一次.

11.只要堆肥材料足够热、潮湿度刚好及常常被翻动,您将在一个月或两个月期间得到黑色色泽的堆肥。


How to Make Organic Compost for Your Garden

1. Prepare 2 pails or containers. Make some small holes at the bottom of the pails or containers. This allows the extra water to be drained out from the pails or containers. (You want the compost pile to remain damp, but not dripping wet).

2. Materials used to make compost:
2.1 wet material: any kitchen scraps like coffee grounds, peelings, fruit cores, eggshells,

tea leaves, etc. Any kitchen waste that is not greasy can be composted.

2.2 dry material: paper, sawdust, small branches and twigs, straw, etc.

3. Lay 1 layer of medium size stone at the bottom of pails or containers

4. Put 1 layer of soil

5. Put wet material on the second layer (the wet material will ensure the compost pile is not too dry. If it is too dry, the compost pile will not break down at all)

6. Put dry material on the third layer. If there is no dry material available, you can put soil then.

7. Repeat step 5 & 6 until the pail or container is full.

8. Cover the pail or container with a piece of cloth that allow air circulation.

9. Put the pail or container in a place that does not expose to rain. (if compost pile is too wet, it will smell and become slimy as the ratio of bad bacteria outweighs the good)

10. 2 weeks later, turn the pile from the outside by shoveling the outer portion of pile and put it in another pail or container.

11. Repeat step 10 once a week or 2 weeks once.

12. It the pile heats up, gets moisture and gets turned regularly, you shall have dark brown or dark, wonderful compost in about 1 to 2 months time.
