All materials of animal and plant waste rot down and return to the soil with the help of micro-organisms. The resulting material is rich in nutrients and ‘humus’ (decayed organic matter). Humus improves the physical properties of the soil and helps the soil to maintain a free-draining structure (stable humus). It is also a source of nutrients, especially nitrogen (nutritional humus). Humus is, therefore, the goal of composting. A compost heap is simply an environment in which this natural process can be speeded up. By providing the right environment for the organisms in the compost pile, a good quality compost may be produced.
It helps to think of the compost pile as a living entity which is made up of many millions of microbes. These microbes produce compost more quickly when there is a mixture of carbon-rich and nitrogen-rich materials in the pile. As the microbes become active, they create heat. This heat kills diseases and insect pests in the pile. To encourage a strong population of micro-organisms favourable conditions are required, for example food, warmth, moisture and air. The compost heap must, therefore, be constructed in a way which complies to these requirements.
How to make compost?
Using animal manure as fertilizer is one of circulated utilization method for solving animal manure pile problem. Animal manure is great raw material for organic fertilizer composting. To make animal manure fertilizer, composting is the first step in the whole horse manure organic fertilizer production line.
Using aerobic microbial fermentation to dispose animal manure is a way to make organic matters into bio organic fertilizer. Composting, also called decomposition, is a process that decomposes animal waste and other remains of animal and plants. Proper fermentation provides appropriate surroundings for microorganisms. Add microbial zymophyte to compost can increase decomposition of animal manure, dramatically improving the productivity. In comparison, animal manure aerobic composting has features of simple technology, low investment and low transportation cost, killing pathogenic microorganism effectively, which is a safe and economic way for horse manure disposal.
In the composting process, input oxygen to compost by stirring and forced ventilation, promoting aerobic microbial activity. You can use compost windrow turner machine to mix and turn organic matters. Because there exits large variety of microorganisms in composting, air and soil, it will enter the fermentation stage quickly. Microbes break the organic matter down into ammonia, nitric acid, nitrogen, carbon dioxide and water. In the meanwhile, it generates heat and increases composting temperature. At the beginning of fermentation, decomposition of organic matter depends mainly on the moderate-temperate microbe fermentation (30-40 degrees Celsius). As the temperature rises, bacteria thermophilic bacteria, the most suitable bacteria for living in the 45 to 65 degrees Celsius, gradually replaces the medium temperature microbes. At this temperature, a variety of noxious substance can be exterminated, such as pathogenic bacteria, parasite eggs, weed seeds, etc.
