Food Waste, Animal Waste |
Many people are
of the opinion that various waste products have to be kept separate
when they are being composted. This is absolutely not true. Whether
you use animal dung or food scraps, both can be equally helpful in
the composting pile that you have ready to spread over your garden,
flowers, or crops.
Food waste and
animal waste are absolutely interchangeable, and they both contribute
different things to the compost pile. Food waste contributes
vegetation of many different types (think about how much food is
imported to your local store) which are then added to the local soil,
which doesn’t move around a lot or bring in a wide variety of
nutrients from outside sources.
Animal waste
possesses more local organisms, vegetation and bacterial. Since
animals eat other animals and local vegetation, their dung would
naturally have more locally produced or grown products in it than
grocery store food waste. By traveling through the animal’s
digestive tract, the dung produced is already chemically broken down,
which is not something that grocery store food scraps have when put
in the compost pile.
The types of
waste used together form a wide variety of nutrients and compostable
factors in your compost or garden. Of course, many people bury the
scraps in the ground, thinking that worms will compost them, and
worms do, in fact contribute a great deal to compost fields run by
local groups of gardeners. However, for individual lots, air
circulation really helps the natural decaying process, so we
recommend that, along with frequent turnings of the compost with a
shovel or pitchfork.
In the
meantime, you can contribute to the renewability of your planet by
