Cara Membuat Kompos dari Sampah Organik ala Waste4Change

Summary

The video script introduces viewers to home composting with Khairunnisa and Ismalina Humam. They explain how to use a compost bin, emphasizing its features like air circulation for aerobic decomposition. The process involves layering 'brown' (dried leaves, wood chips) and 'green' (kitchen waste, fruit peels) materials, turning the compost every 3-7 days. After 30 days, the mature compost can be used as a soil conditioner or planting medium. The script also mentions using gloves and masks for safety and the importance of maintaining the right moisture level.

Takeaways

• 🌱 Indonesia generates a significant amount of organic waste, with 60% of its total waste being organic.
• 🌿 Khairunnisa and Ismalina Humam introduce a method to compost organic waste at home using a compost bin.
• 🏡 The compost bin recommended is a JVC model, with a height of 70 cm and a diameter of 38 cm, designed to facilitate aeration.
• 🔄 The composting process described is aerobic, which requires good aeration and is facilitated by the compost bin's features.
• 🧤 Preparation for composting includes gathering materials such as compost starter, a mixer tool, gloves, and masks for hygiene.
• 🍂 The composting process starts with a layer of 'brown' material, which is carbon-rich and includes dried leaves and wood chips.
• 🥬 Following the 'brown' layer, a 'green' layer of nitrogen-rich kitchen waste such as vegetable scraps is added.
• 🔄 The process involves alternating layers of 'brown' and 'green' materials, ensuring the compost bin is filled according to a specific scheme.
• 💧 If the compost appears dry, water or a liquid like 'kompos lezat' (a local microorganism solution) should be added to maintain moisture.
• 🌡️ The compost should be turned every 3-7 days to introduce oxygen, which is crucial for the aerobic decomposition process.
• 🗓️ After 30 days, the compost is ready to be harvested and can be used as a 'brown' material for future composting cycles or as a planting medium.

Q & A

What percentage of waste produced in Indonesia is organic?

60% of the waste produced in Indonesia is organic.

What are the features of the compost bin mentioned in the script?

The compost bin mentioned has a height of 70 cm, a diameter of 38 cm, and a capacity of 79 liters. It features air circulation for aerobic composting.

What materials are suggested for the initial layer in the composting process?

The initial layer in the composting process should consist of dry leaves and twigs.

What is the significance of the 'brown' and 'green' waste in the composting process?

The 'brown' waste refers to dry, carbon-rich materials like leaves and twigs, while 'green' waste refers to wet, nitrogen-rich materials like kitchen scraps. They are layered in the compost to balance the carbon and nitrogen levels.

What is the role of the aerator tool in the composting process?

The aerator tool is used to mix the compost regularly, which helps in adding oxygen and ensuring proper aerobic decomposition.

How often should the compost be turned during the composting process?

The compost should be turned every 3-7 days to add oxygen and facilitate the composting process.

What should be done if the compost appears too dry during the process?

If the compost appears too dry, water or a local microorganism solution should be added to maintain the right moisture level.

What is the expected time for the compost to be ready for use?

The compost should be ready for use after about 30 days.

How can the finished compost be utilized in gardening?

The finished compost can be used as a soil conditioner or as a medium for planting at home.
