Cara membuat kompos dari sampah rumah tangga tanpa bau

Summary

In this video, viewers learn how to create odor-free compost at home using a 20-liter container. The process involves adding daily food scraps, a handful of soil, and ensuring proper ventilation with holes in the container to prevent the growth of odor-causing anaerobic bacteria. Aerobic bacteria, which require oxygen, will process the waste into compost. After 2-3 months, the compost turns dark and odorless, ready for use. The video emphasizes the importance of using plant-based scraps and showcases how the compost can support vertical gardening. A simple and eco-friendly way to create your own compost at home.

Takeaways

• 😀 You can make compost at home without any smell using simple materials.
• 😀 A 20-liter container, like a used paint bucket, is ideal for creating a compost bin.
• 😀 Drill holes around the edge of the container to ensure good airflow, preventing odor and bacterial growth.
• 😀 Only use plant-based waste (not animal waste like meat or fish) to avoid attracting pests like rats.
• 😀 The air circulation from the holes prevents anaerobic bacteria, which cause unpleasant smells, from growing.
• 😀 Aerobic bacteria (which need oxygen) will break down the waste into compost without creating any odor.
• 😀 Add a handful of soil each time you add food waste to the bin.
• 😀 Continue adding food waste and soil until the bin is full. Let it sit for 2-3 months for the composting process.
• 😀 It is recommended to make multiple bins so that when one is full, you can start with the next one while waiting for the first batch to mature.
• 😀 After 2-3 months, the compost will be dark in color, smell like soil, and be ready to use.
• 😀 A simple way to check if the compost is ready is to see if seeds can sprout in it. If seeds grow, it’s good to go.

Q & A

What materials are needed to make compost at home?

To make compost at home, you will need a 20-liter used paint container, food scraps from your daily life, and a handful of soil.

Why is it important to make holes in the container?

Making holes in the container allows air to flow freely, which helps prevent the compost from smelling bad and ensures proper aeration for composting.

Can you use all types of food waste for composting?

No, you should only use plant-based food scraps for composting. Avoid using animal waste such as meat or fish, as it may attract pests like rats.

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic bacteria in composting?

Aerobic bacteria require oxygen to break down organic material in compost, while anaerobic bacteria do not need oxygen. Aerobic bacteria are preferable for composting because they prevent bad odors.

How often should you add soil to the compost?

You should add a handful of soil every time you add food scraps to the compost container.

What should you do when the compost container is full?

Once the compost container is full, leave it for 2-3 months to allow the composting process to complete. It is also recommended to use multiple containers, rotating them for continuous composting.

What is a sign that the compost is ready to use?

The compost is ready when it turns dark and has an earthy smell, similar to soil. Another indicator is if seeds can germinate in the compost.

Why is it recommended to make several compost containers?

Having multiple compost containers allows you to rotate them, ensuring that you always have fresh compost while the other batches continue to decompose.

Can the compost be used for vertical gardening?

Yes, the finished compost can be used as a base for vertical gardening, providing nutrient-rich soil for plants.

How long does it take for the compost to be ready?

It typically takes 2-3 months for the compost to mature and be ready for use.
