What is Compost?

Despite the trend towards recycling in recent years, the increase in waste produced by consumers continues. Since these wastes threaten our life, health and ecological balance, they will affect our lives positively by taking them under control. For these reasons, the management and minimization of solid waste is one of the most important environmental problems. The method to be chosen in this regard should not harm the air, soil and water.

The compost, which is called "black gold" by the farmers, can be expressed as the transformation of plant and animal wastes into organic fertilizer by decomposing in a humid-oxygen environment. Compost, which looks like fertile garden soil, is also rich in nutrients.

Compost can be obtained by different techniques in the open field or by machine.

COMPOST IS NOT FERTILIZER!

While fertilizer provides the soil with nutrients necessary for the development of plants; Compost provides the structural order of the soil. However, it is possible to obtain high quality fertilizers by adding certain amounts of N, P, K to the compost. The benefit of this fertilizer to agricultural fields is more than all artificial fertilizers. In addition, due to the natural nature of the raw material, the problem of artificial taste in products produced in agricultural areas is eliminated.

COMPOST instead of chemical fertilizer

Chemical fertilizers have an important place among the factors affecting agricultural product yield. Increasing use of chemical fertilizers affects soil, environment and human health. Chemical fertilizers cause changes in the physical and chemical properties of the soil, the pH of the soil goes beyond the plant's will, the biological diversity of plants decreases by creating a salt effect, the resistance of plants to diseases and pests decreases, the balance of products is disturbed, the water is polluted, and the soil is polluted as a result of the heavy metals in its composition mix with the soil. .
