#1. Composting Using Kambha
I am using Kambha from Daily Dump (you tin purchase Kambha from Dailydump.org , it comes inwards dissimilar shapes together with colors) which comes amongst laid upward made holes together with also it tin live stacked together with placed inwards a shady corner inwards the garden. It should live kept inwards the shade together with should live protected from rain. You tin encompass it amongst a plastic canvas inwards example of heavy rain.
It comes inwards 3 units which tin live stacked i on acme of the other. Unit Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 , Unit B , Unit C together with a lid.
The middle unit of measurement B is interchangeable amongst the acme unit of measurement A. Unit Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 together with B comes amongst plastic woven wire at the bottom.
The bottom Unit or Unit C is for storing the almost done compost together with does non stimulate got plastic woven wire together with is unopen at the bottom. It remains ever inwards the bottom.
First measuring is preparing your Kambha
The bottom Unit C should live layered amongst four inches of dried leaves that acts similar a bed for the H2O that gets discharged during decomposition.
Place a paper or paper inwards unit of measurement Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 to encompass the weave. This is done to forestall waste product from falling through the plastic weave to the bottom most unit of measurement C.
Then layer amongst dry out leaves (pic below). You tin also add together four fistful of remix pulverization which is available inwards dailydump store. I did non add.
The add together your organic kitchen waste. If fourth dimension permits , you lot tin shred it into smaller pieces together with add together equally it volition fasten the procedure of composting.

Check the wet bird every fourth dimension , you lot mix the pile. Sprinkle a petty H2O together with mix good , if the pile is dry. Add to a greater extent than BROWNS , if it is wet or soggy together with mix well.
Once Unit Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 is total , shift Unit Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 to the middle together with convey Unit B to the top.
Start filling Unit B - follow the same procedure above.
When Unit B is total , empty the one-half done compost from Unit Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 to Unit C to mature. Then shift Unit Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 to the acme together with start filling it amongst waste product next the same procedure above. Like this you lot stimulate got to interchange Unit Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 together with Unit B. Unit C volition ever stay inwards the bottom.
It volition stimulate got 2-3 months to fully compost depending on the temperature.
Once compost inwards Unit C is done , sieve it together with piece of employment it. You tin add together the remains dorsum to the Unit Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 or B.
Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 fully done compost is night brownish together with smells similar earth.

Keep the bucket raised off the surface then that air tin circulate underneath. This volition ensure aeration together with proper drainage of water. Keep a tray at the bottom of the bucket to collect the H2O discharged during decomposition. This H2O is called "leachate". It tin live diluted together with added to plants.

If it is also wet , the pile volition stimulate got lot of maggots together with also the pile volition stink. So maintaining the right wet bird is important.
Tips for faster decomposition
The smaller the pieces , the faster the decomposition. So if I honor fourth dimension , I volition shred the vegetable together with fruit scraps into smaller pieces together with add together to the bin.
