The compost tower is a facility that uses earthworms to convert organic waste into organic fertilizer, commonly known as a "worm compost tower" or "worm farm". It converts organic waste such as kitchen waste and pet feces into nutrient-rich organic fertilizer by simulating the activities of earthworms in the natural environment, and the upper layer of soil has the effect of environmental protection and resource recycling.
Production method
The specific steps to make a worm compost tower are as follows:
Prepare materials: You need a transparent large plastic oil bottle (such as a large mineral water bottle) and a small cylindrical plastic bottle, scissors, kitchen waste (such as melon peel and melon pulp), dry soil and sand, and earthworms.
Make an earthworm tower: Cut off the upper half of the large plastic bottle, spread a layer of sand on the bottom, and then spread a layer of soil and sand, and pour in an appropriate amount of water. Drill holes on the side and bottom of the small plastic bottle to facilitate the entry and exit of earthworms. Put the small plastic bottle in the middle of the large plastic bottle, pour in a mixture of kitchen waste and soil, and finally put in earthworms.
Placement and maintenance: Place the prepared earthworm tower in a cool and ventilated place, and regularly observe and take care of the earthworms' activities.
Usage scenarios and effects
The earthworm composting tower is suitable for families, communities and gardening sites, and is especially suitable for processing kitchen waste and pet feces. Through the digestion of earthworms, these wastes are converted into organic fertilizers, which not only solves the problem of garbage disposal, but also promotes plant growth and improves soil fertility. In addition, the feces excreted by earthworms are non-toxic and odorless, and are high-quality organic fertilizers.
