Materials Needed:
- Two 20-liter buckets with lids
- Drill (small drill bit for drainage holes)
- Kitchen waste (vegetable scraps, eggshells, fruit waste)
- Compost (starter)
- PSB (Photosynthetic Bacteria) solution
- Water
- Sunny location
Step-by-Step Guide:
Prepare Your Buckets:
Drill small holes in the bottom of one bucket for drainage.
Layer Kitchen Waste:
Add a layer of vegetable scraps, eggshells, and fruit waste to the bucket with holes.
Cover with Compost:
Add a layer of compost on top of the kitchen waste to act as a starter.
Prepare PSB Solution:
Mix 3 bottle caps of PSB with 1.5 liters of water.
Moisten the Layers:
Sprinkle the PSB solution over the layers to keep them moist.
Place in the Sun:
Put the bucket in a sunny location to speed up decomposition.
Regularly Add Kitchen Waste:
After 7 days, add more kitchen waste and cover with compost. Continue every 2-3 days.
Maintain Moisture:
Ensure the compost stays moist but not waterlogged. Add more PSB solution if needed.
After 30 Days:
Mix the compost every 2-3 days to accelerate decomposition.
Harvest Liquid Fertilizer:
After 60 days, collect liquid fertilizer from the drainage holes. Dilute it with water (1:500) to fertilize plants.
Apply Compost to Plants:
Use the finished compost to enrich your soil.
