Pit Composting (cooked +uncooked waste)

Pit Composting

Follow the below steps carefully:

1. Dig a pit of flexible size depending upon your size. (if you need a second opinion, mention that in the comments section).
2. Dump all the bio degradable waste like dry leaves, wet waste like kitchen scraps, fruit and vegetable peels, meat, milk, dairy products, spoiled food etc., only biodegradable waste. (no plastics please). The ratio is 2 parts of dry waste to 1 part of wet waste.
3. If you shred the waste, it will improve the rate of composting process.
4. Make sure there is enough moisture in the pile. Water the pile frequently if it gets dry.
5. Turn the pile, whenever you find time.

Now! the important thing to do is as below:

Preparation of Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB):

1. Collect 1 liter. of reject water that comes from washing the raw rice.
2. Take the above liquid and mix them with 3 liter. of milk in a mud pot and cover it with a muslin cloth and tie it properly. Leave it for 4 days.
3. After 4 days, open it and remove the scum over the surface area, then separate the curd part of it(and discard them), then the remaining liquid is called Lactic Acid Bacteria. Collect this liquid separately.

Preparation of fermented rice:

1. Keep the cooked rice as it is undisturbed for 4 days. It gets fermented.
2. There will be a layer over the surface of the fermented rice. It is an indication.

Now, Add LAB to the fermented rice. it will turn into a solution. Now! to this solution add some handful of rice bran in the solution. Leave the solution as it is for 4 days.

Now! the bacteria culture is ready.

6.Now add 10 ml to 20 ml of the above solution to the compost pile once in a week and turn it whenever you find time...

That's it! The compost will get ready in a short period of time. This is the easiest and fastest way of composting in a pit!
