Larm as a Necessity during Composting and/or Vermicomposting of Kitchen Refuses
Journal Title: Universal Journal of Environmental Research and Technology - Year 2012, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Kitchen refuses are an array of discarded stuffs that originate in the kitchen of urban category and find disposal problems at large. With the mushrooming of multy-story apartments, the space of the backyard of the yester years is nothing but a dream. Although an immense effort is put in, in clearance of garbage yet cleanliness and time accuracy is still a wanting scenario under Indian circumstances. Usefulness of kitchen refuse as composting was an old world scenario wherein a backyard with an orchard, a flower garden and kitchen garden was made use of the thrown kitchen refuse. Currently many urbanites certainly want to make use of kitchen refuse into utilizable manure from the point of eco-friendly, pollution-free zone; however a method although exist the problem of leachate, smell and fly menace limits the technology of aerobic composting and vermicomposting. In the present paper a simple use of LARM either as cocopith, bagasse and or jute waste has solved the problem of leachate, fly menace and obnoxious odor at one go and result in complete aerobic compost /vermicompost. The study reveals the avoidance of energy oriented engineering models are not a mandatory. The simpler composting/vermicomposting can be an act by use of LARM.
