Production of organic compost from kitchen wastes using Earth tub composting bin
This study investigated various proportions of organic wastes to produce compost material. Three proportions (by volume) of kitchen wastes, dry leaves, and sawdust were utilized during the composting process using Earth tub technology. Variations in temperature, present moisture content (by weight)...

| Summary: | This study investigated various proportions of organic wastes to produce compost material. Three proportions (by volume) of kitchen wastes, dry leaves, and sawdust were utilized during the composting process using Earth tub technology. Variations in temperature, present moisture content (by weight) and pH level were monitored and recorded every three (3) days of decomposition. The nutrient content of compost products were analyzed and compared to the standard values. Percent yield was also computed based on the final volume of the compost product. |
