Generating Organic Manure by Kitchen Wastes

Daily about 14% of vegetable and fruit peel solid waste is generated in each kitchen during preparation of food and is taken to a landfill site by municipal corporations. More than half of it, we carelessly thrown into the trash is organic matter, which if we composted can produce rich top soil for our plants. Managing kitchen waste eliminates adverse impact on land, soil and water. The aim of the present study is to convert kitchen waste into useful product for better growth and quality of crops so as we minimize the environmental hazards in the form of organic manure. In this study we compared the kitchen wastes like food waste and vegetable wastes. The waste samples are composted, aerated and tested on different days to find out the amount of Na, K, Ca, and BOD present in the sample. The fertilizer has many advantages because of easy process, inexpensive, and no side effects. The resulting benefits are likely to fertilize crops, to maintain the stability of nutrient elements in the soil and reducing bad impact of chemical fertilizers.
