The picture illustrates the process of how to turn organic waste into garden fertilizer.
Overall, it is clear that the process consists of five main stages, commencing with preparing a plastic container and culminating in the production of compost after six months.
Looking first at the initial stage, air holes are made on all four sides of the 2 m³ plastic container. Following this, food waste is added in a layer of about 15 cm. This is followed by a 15-cm layer of grass, after which newspaper is placed on top.
At the next stage, hot water is poured into the container along with nitrogen powder to mix with the previous materials. Once this is done, the container is covered with a lid. As the materials react, heat is released through the air holes. After six months, the materials turn into compost, which is ready to be used in the garden.
