I have been trying to find out information as to how to compost when the quanity of vegetable waste is generated and how i can do it in a pit.
My friend Navneeth has guided me through this.
Two cement rings,one feet high and 3 feet dia -Costs Rs.550 each
The cement lid to close them -Costs Rs.650
First Layer -Broken stones close to 3/4 inch size -Rs.55/cft ..Need around three cubic feet
Second Layer-Sand-Costs Rs.50 for a cubic feet .Need around three cubic feet
Third Layer -Red Bricks Jelly- Costs Rs.50-Need three cu.ft
Then add the vegetable waste and food waste..Cover with Dry leaves..Alternate the food waste and Dry leaves everyday and close with the cement lid.This way we keep food away from rodents and compost it.
Mix them every 3 days.The compost will be ready in 15-20 days time.
One can add neem cake or cocopeat to it on and off if it becomes smelly.
