How to use compost-1
(1)Spread the compost on the whole area of
a field, and plough it to a depth of about
20cm (1～2kg /1m2 )

(1)Be careful not to let the moisture content
become too high.
• Drain using by strainer
• Drying by wrap in a newspaper
• Mixing with tealeaves, ground coffee
which dried well.

(2)Make a aerobic condition
• Microorganisms like aerobic condition
(Oxygen).
• Rotting bacteria like anaerobic condition
• Mixing well
• Once a day stirring is very important !!

(3)For make easy to decompose
• Chop up the garbage to small peace
using by
Kitchen knife
Scissor
• Cook (heat) the garbage
to make soft condition
How to make smooth farmentation-4
(3) If the garbage already rotten
• Not put into the basket
(4)Garbage easy to rot such as seafood
(especially internal organs)
• Not put into the basket or put in small
amount
but , it is possible
if you cook the garbage
How to make smooth farmentation-5
(5)Temperature
How to rise the temperature
• Add a rice bran sometimes
Microorganism eat a rice bran swiftly
• Add a edible oil
Fatty foods are OK
• Put a hot-water bottle in the basket
• Cover by cardboard

(6)Where is the best place to set up compost
• compost put on a block or brick to air allows
to pass from the bottom of basket.
• Warm the compost up by solar heat
Air to pass
easily
How should we do to the trouble ？-1
(1)Offensive odour
If the content lacks oxygen, it starts rotting
• Stop to put into the garbage
• Mixing well
• Keep the moisture content to 40-60%
by Mixing with tealeaves, ground coffee
which dried well
• Rice husk sometimes make the effect.
How should we do to the trouble ？-2
(2)Ammonia like odour
High ammonia, low air condition
• Stop to put into the garbage
• Mixing well
• Keep the moisture content to 40-60%
by Mixing with tealeaves, ground coffee
which dried well
• Leaf mold sometimes make the effect.
How should we do to the trouble？-3
(3)Too dried condition
Lower water content hampers the proliferation
of microorganisms
• Add the water stirring the compost well.
• Juice and Beer have effect to good condition
• Soup is also ok
point: be careful not to be too much the
moisture
How should we do to the trouble？-4
(4)I am trouble by harmful insects
insects had laid an eggs

the eggs
• Treat garbage immediately without leaving
it unattended.
How should we do to the trouble ？-5
(6) surface of the compost is covered with
white tiny insects - No.2
• Mix a coffee powder
• Mix a lime (ex: CaO)
• Mix a powder soap
• Rise the temperature (by mix with edible oil,
juice or soup)
How should we do to the trouble ？-6
(7) I want to recover the condition immediately
Mix a lactic acid drink and Kimchi’ soup
They have a lot of lactic acid bacteria. To
add them, increase the effective fermented
bacteria, and the condition which is included
more richer nutrition easy to use for
microorganisms, immediately.
