There are plentiful ideas to convert your organic waste into Manure. I have used aerobic composter, a kind of chemical powder impregnated with aerobic bacterias to convert household garbage or agro-waste supplemented with cow dung into Manure or Biofertilizer. The digestion period may vary from 35 to 40 days. Soil can also be mixed, if required with organic waste and aerobic composter to give amended soil after sufficient digestion period. The conversion is approximately 60%. One Ton Organic waste or Garbage can be decomposed with a slurry of aerobic composter ( 2Kg in 40 Lit water) spread over the waste. Digestion rate can further be speed up, if required, by periodic mixing ( turning a pile ), addition of water in a week time. Sunlight and oxygen plays important role during this aerobic decomposition. The aerobic composter costs only Rs 230/ Kg. One can convert 1 ton biodegradable waste in approximately 600 kgs of Manure in ideal conditions in 35 days, which may costs up to Rs 460. All this can be carried out in a pit in your backyard or garden.
