Compost is a
rich, fertile soil that results from the microbial breakdown of
plant materials such as grass clippings, leaves and other lawn,
yard, and garden wastes. Composting benefits people in two ways:
First, it creates a very fertile soil that is excellent for gardening,
and second, it cuts down on the amount of yard waste headed towards
America's shrinking landfills. Currently, yard waste constitute
over 20% of the solid refuse in our landfills.
Composting is not a difficult task, in fact, Roebic Bacteria Composter has
been formulated to make the job not only easier, but faster
as well. Roebic Bacterial Composter is
a blend of specialized bacteria that are capable of growing over
a wide range of temperatures which helps them to accelerate the
breakdown of plant materials found in compost piles such as green
or dry grass clippings, weeds, leaves, shrub trimmings, vegetable
scraps and peelings. This product also contains a nitrogen rich
nutrient to promote rapid bacterial growth, a buffer to maintain
proper pH and is rich in calcium and magnesium for optimal enzymatic
activity.
Roebic
Bacterial Composter is so effective, it will cut
the natural recycling times of plant materials in half, yielding
nutrient rich compost. Directions for use may be found on the
bottle label.
Composting
Tips :
- Minimize
moisture loss and temperature extremes by setting up compost
piles away from direct sunlight.
- Keep the
compost pile damp but not too wet.
- Turn the
compost weekly to aerate and maintain a good mixture. A pile
consisting of mostly grass clippings should be turned more frequently.
- Do not compost
meat scraps, bones, or other non-vegetable materials.
- Shred leaves
and break up sticks and twigs whenever possible.
- Use Roebic
Bacterial Composter.
