Troubleshooting the compost pile

Article Abstract:

Problems in the compost pile are often the result of the moisture content or the C:N ratio being incorrect. However, it is also important to consider other possible causes of compost pile problems. Attention must be given to the bulk density of the composting mixture, recognizing that composting will probably occur properly if bulk density is between around 800 lb per cubic yard and 1,000 lb per cubic yard. It is also important to be aware that too much air can have a negative impact on the composting process.

Community-based vermicomposting in developing countries

Article Abstract:

Two vermicomposting projects have been created in Hyderabad, India. The Municipal Corporation of Hyderabad (MCH) is a community based voluntary program launched in 1992, aiming to keep the neighborhoods clean, provide education about the economic value of waste utilization and make waste collection faster. A large-scale vermicomposting operation near Bangalore processes around 100 tons of domestic refuse a day, with vermicompost obtained using Eudrilus eugeniae.
