Small organic fertilizer equipment is designed specifically for family farms, small-scale breeding farms, or community gardening enthusiasts. They are compact in size, easy to operate, and can efficiently convert organic waste such as animal manure and kitchen waste into high-quality organic fertilizers in a small space. The following are the basic steps and precautions for using small-scale organic fertilizer equipment to convert manure into organic fertilizer:
Step Overview:
Raw material pretreatment
Classification and cleaning: Firstly, separate manure from other organic waste and remove non organic substances (such as plastic bags and metal fragments) from it.
Adjust humidity: Ensure that the moisture content of the raw materials is between 50% -60%. Excessive humidity or dryness can affect the fermentation effect.
Crushing and mixing: Use a small organic fertilizer grinder to crush the raw materials, making them easier to ferment; Then mix with auxiliary materials such as sawdust and straw in appropriate proportions to improve ventilation and regulate carbon nitrogen ratio.
fermentation
Inoculate fermentation bacteria: Add fermentation starter microbial agents to the raw materials to accelerate fermentation speed and improve the nutritional content of organic fertilizers.
Composting: Stack the processed raw materials into small piles or place them in small fermentation chambers. Be careful not to stack them too high or too dense to prevent oxygen deficiency in the central area.
Composting and monitoring: Check the temperature of the compost every day. When the temperature exceeds 60 ℃, compost will be flipped to increase oxygen supply and promote microbial activity.
Post processing
Maturity: Wait for the compost to cool to room temperature, turn dark brown in color, and have no obvious odor, indicating that fermentation has been completed. Generally, it takes 2-3 months.
Screening and crushing: Using small screening machines and organic fertilizer crushers to remove undecomposed coarse substances, refine fertilizer particles, and facilitate packaging and use.
Packaging and Storage
Sealed packaging: Put organic fertilizers into moisture-proof and breathable bags, seal and store.
Storage conditions: Store in a cool and dry place, away from water sources and high temperature environments.
Although small in size, small-scale organic fertilizer equipment can meet the needs of small-scale agricultural producers with reasonable planning and careful management. It can not only effectively solve the problem of manure treatment, but also produce high-quality organic fertilizers, promote soil health and crop growth, and achieve a win-win situation of economic benefits and ecological environment protection.
