Make compost at home to nourish and improve soil
Many of the nutrients plants need for growth can be found in everyday kitchen scraps. These goodies are reusable, but aren’t available to plants without transformation.
Transform kitchen waste into plant food
One way is with chickens. You can feed them vegetable scraps and collect their poo to add as a nitrogen waste in your compost, but raising your own isn’t practical for many urban dwellers.
Another option is worm farming. Fed a strict vegetarian diet, red and tiger worms excrete castings as your reward. Worms, like chickens, need to be looked after, and collecting castings is tedious if you want to rescue the worms from perishing in garden soil.
Nature offers a superior solution with compost microbes. You can transform kitchen scraps with these natural micro-organisms and get compost that enriches soil.
Produce soil-enriching compost
Composting accelerates the way nature returns fallen and dead organic matter to the soil, enriching it.
The soil enriching qualities of compost is available only after you allow freshly made, immature compost to rest and mature.
Homemade mature compost:
- Works like a slow-release fertiliser
- Returns organic matter to soil
- Increases water retention in soil
- Has probiotics to promote soil health
- Helps plants resist disease and pests
- Gives soil a good crumbly texture
Did you know mature compost nourishes and improves soil, no matter what kind of garden soil you have? It excels at keeping soil healthy for plants to thrive.
Compost is especially nourishing when made from nutrient-rich kitchen scraps. Bioverter is an advanced compost bin that is designed to handle kitchen scraps as your main waste feed, and to transform your scraps (without mixing) into nutritious compost.
