Garbage is indeed the main enemy of man. However,
there are many ways that can be done to process waste so that it can be
useful again and the following three things hopefully can inspire us
all :1. ORGANIC COMPOSTED FERTILIZER
Organic waste is divided into 2, namely: Wet organic waste and dry organic waste. How to make organic waste easy enough, prepare:
material
- Inside the house provide 2 different color bins for organic waste and non-organic waste.
- Required plastic tub or used drum for composting. In the bottom they are given several holes to remove the excess water. To keep the top moisture can be covered with gunny sack or bamboo wicker.
- The base of the composting tub can use soil or paving block, so excess water can seep down. Tub composting should not hit the rain water, must be closed.
- Mix 1 part green garbage and 1 piece of brown waste.
- Add 1 part of old compost or top soil and mixed. This soil or compost contains active microbes that will work to process waste into compost. If there is cattle dung (chicken or cow) can also be mixed.
- Making can be at once, or layer by layer for example every 2 days plus new garbage. Every 7 days should be stirred.
- Composting is complete if the mixture becomes blackish, and does not smell garbage. At week 1 and 2 the microbes begin to work out, so the temperature becomes around 40C. At the 5th and 6th week the temperature is back to normal, the compost fertilizer is ready.
- If necessary it is sieved to separate the rough part. Rough compost can be mixed into the composting tub as an activator.
- The success of composting lies in how we control the temperature, humidity and oxygen, so that microbes can obtain the optimal environment to breed.
- Organic waste should be chopped into small pieces, aimed at speeding up composting. Alternatively bio-activators can be added in the form of effective microorganism (EM) solutions that can be purchased at the farm shop.
Do not throw away used items in your home like bottles, milk cans, and so on. Try to collect these items in one container and try to create them into a masterpiece of handicrafts. There are many ideas, such as: Table with legs from used bottles, jewelry from plastic bottles, plastic plants from plastic bottles, funny dolls from the rest of the cloth, pencil containers from used tins, beads of used glass, and There are still many more.
3. BRICKETS OF ORGANIC WASTE
In addition to be used as a compost, organic waste can also be utilized to be a petroleum replacement briquette. How to make briquettes from organic waste is easy, prepare :
Tool
- Drum (for burning)
- Containers (basins / pans)
- Shovel
- Mold briquettes (pvc or bamboo pipe)
- Bucket
- Lesung (pounder)
- Wooden sticks (stirrer)
- Anglo (briquette mold)
- Dry organic waste (leaves, twigs, dry waste kitchen waste, coconut shell, sawdust, etc.)
- Natural or artificial adhesives (starch)
The first thing to do is Make charcoal from organic waste
- Prepare drums (for burning / refining organic waste)
- Organic waste (eg dried leaves) is inserted into the drum and burned. Trash can be incorporated into the burning drum bit by bit so that the flame does not go out.
- During the combustion process must be maintained so that no air in and out drums freely. If the air can get in and out of the drum, then burning will not produce charcoal but ash.
- When the process is finished, the fire can be turned off.
- Prepare the pounder, such as mortar, then the charcoal is available finely ground until it becomes charcoal powder. Next, collect the charcoal powder at a place such as a bucket.
- Prepare glue kanji and dilute with hot water. Mix the kanji with charcoal powder so it becomes sticky dough. Next, the dough is stirred so that all the ingredients are well blended and sticky enough.
- Prepare briquette prints. Can be made from PVC / bamboo pipes / simply clenched by hand.
- Once the mold is ready, put the dough into it in a compacted way, after it is solid and shaped, remove it from the mold.
- Dry briquettes are still wet in the sun until completely dry
- Garbage briquettes are ready for use.
