| Abstract | In this study, two sets of experiments were conducted in
order to speed up composting time. The first experiment was set
up with 4 compost piles. The first pile, without seeding, was used
as a control and the other three piles were seeded with 0. 015 %,
0. 030 %, 0. 045 %, respectively. The forced aeration was varied
with 0.006 m3 /kg/h, 0.02 m3 /kg/h,0.01 m3 /kg/h and 0.03
m3 /kg/h,respectively,in the second set of experiment according to
the percentages of carbon content .
The results of the experimental study have shown that 0. 015%
seeding gave the best yield and the shortest composting time and
the second experiment have shown that 0. 02 m3 /kg/h of air supply
also gave the best results. Based on the quality of compost
obtained, this compost material can use not only to improve the
soil quality but also gives a fertilizer value because it
contain N: P: K value of 1. 3: 2: 1, 2. 5: 2: 1, low SAR value and
slightly alkaline . |
