It may not work with soil with this method, Why don't you use coir pith if you cannot get more dried leaves?. There are other methods where we use soil and waste to compost.

Sir, I use 20 ltr. buckets for composting veg. waste. But I have a few problems.The waste becomes watery and gives bad smell. I want to know1. Upto what capacity can we fill with waste? 1/3 or 1/2?2. How often should we use curd or buttermilk for creating microbes?The method I follow is-After filling 1/2 or 3/4 bucket, I keep aside for few days. To remove excess water, I pour waste into ground on a mesh so that only water is absorbed. After about 1 month, the compost is formed but very dry not moist as u have told. But it has a sweet earthy smell. Can I use it directly?Please guide me as I prepare for the aadi season.

[@raghavankannan5443]

The my query on ncof composting. Your video on kitchen waste ...microbes etc I have seen. The point is wdc of ncof is entirely different. It decomposes on the soil without creating heat and faster decomposing. Low one time cost 20 only...own preparation by using jaggery 2kg for 200 litre. It can be applied on leaves for better crop cultivation etc. Seed treatment also possible. See video of Kishna chandra on KZbin and then reply sir. I am regular follower of Your channel and member of terrace garden group.Chennai.

[@ThottamSiva]

Hi, Thanks for those details. I saw his video. That seems to be a good way of composting good volume of wastes. As I am just using it to compost only vegetable waste, in very small quantity that come daily out of kitchen, this method is easy for me. I will explore that option as well and see if I can implement it.

[@SevikkUnavuForAll]

Thank you sir. Lot of people explained about composting. But you have explained it very clearly. Surely I will follow your method. Do we need to keep under sunlight? In our balcony, we will get sunlight just for 1 hour. Please explain. Thank you sir.

[@ThottamSiva]

Thank you. Keep in a cool and shadow place. Not in sunlight.

Sir, Can we add wastes(of kitchen) regularly till 1/3rd of the drum fills up..? why should not we top up till 50% or till full top..

It is mainly to leave space to stir the mix.. You can add upto 1/2.. Beyond that, it will be difficult to mix it and stir it

[@vikrambhaskar7976]

Hello, I'm your recent subscriber and I must say your videos are very helpful to amateur gardeners like me. I live in Bangalore and the problem is compost here is quite expensive due to which it's a pain to make your own potting mix of 50% coco peat and 50% compost. Right now my containers have garden soil and coco peat in the ratio of 1:1. For nutrition can I just add a layer of compost (about 2inchs) to my grow bags once in every month as this might bring the costs down. Would this provide a steady and enough supply of nutrients to my plants?

[@ThottamSiva]

Thanks for your comment on my videos. Regarding your question, when you say 'Compost', is it Vermicompost or something else?. 2 inch is good amount of compost and should be able to supply the required nutrients to the plants. Instead of just adding as a layer, mix it with the top layer mix (coco peat and garden sand) which will give a balanced nutrients to the plant.

[@vikrambhaskar7976]

Thoddam Siva it looks like composted farm yard manure. Actually the label says "organic manure" and has a pitch balck apperence. It was the cheapest i was able to source and vermicompost generally costs anywhere between 250-300rs for just 5kg in Bangalore. Since you said 2 inch is adequate, how often should I apply it?

[@ThottamSiva]

The vermicompost cost is too high. There should be some place to get it for Rs.15/Kg. Try to check around for it. For the manure, you can add it when you start and then it should be enough to add it when the plant starts flowering.. As I said, don't just add it as a layer. Mix it with the media on the top

[@vikrambhaskar7976]

Thoddam Siva thank you very much. I will try searching for cheaper ones

[@manjulabhaskar1168]

I have come to learn from other sources that the compost pile should generate enough heat (100°F-160°F) to be able to decompose both efficiently and fast. I'm curious if a drum like that or any decently sized bucket can provide the optimal environment for fast breakdown of organic matter.

[@ThottamSiva]

I am not sure if that is a different process. I doubt whether this will produce that much heat. But this is the generic process even followed with terracotta kambha and I don't think it also will produce that much heat as that also will have more holes for air circulation. But in both method, the compost is coming fine.

[@ThottamSiva]

One more point, when we go for complete waste composting including food wastes, meat wastes (bones etc), it will require that much heat to compost. Otherwise it will decay and smell will come. For such composting, wee require that much heat and usually designed in that way. But vegetable and fruit wastes easily degrade and decompose and doesn't require that level heat. So not required

Lactobacillus in curd is more of anaerobic but can survive with little oxygen . I guess this will do faster without air. One can easily extract lactobacillus from rice wash. And use that in composting . Close the lid . Lactobacillus is the work horse which will do all the work. I guess it will be some in 20 - 30 days.
