Compost preparation practice using horticultural waste and carob sawdust

Improper disposal of organic solid waste (OSW) can result in health and environmental issues. Composting is proposed as an alternative to reduce the negative environmental impact caused by inadequate management of organic solid waste.

Leconte, María C. Carnicer, Sebastián Composting Management Organics Compostaje Manejo Orgánicos Improper disposal of organic solid waste (OSW) can result in health and environmental issues. Composting is proposed as an alternative to reduce the negative environmental impact caused by inadequate management of organic solid waste. It also enables the waste to be used as raw material, converting it into a valuable product for agriculture and landscaping known as compost. The process transforms fresh, heterogeneous organic substrates into stabilized organic matter, carbon dioxide, water, and minerals. It must be completely aerobic, with an optimal C/N ratio between 25/1 and 35/1, generating a considerable amount of heat in theprocess. Optimal humidity  is necessary for maximum efficiency, as excessive humidity displaces air from the pores and induces undesirable anaerobiosis. The use of compost has beneficial effects on the physical, chemical, and biological properties of the soil. In this study, three compost piles of approximately 1m3 each were built in covered wooden containers and managed using different techniques. The three composting methods resulted in contrasting differences in the characteristics of the final product.  La mala disposición de los residuos sólidos orgánicos (RSO) puede generar problemas sanitarios y ambientales. El proceso de compostaje se presenta como una alternativa para la mitigación del impacto ambiental negativo generado por la mala gestión de los RSO, además, permite utilizarlos como materia prima transformándolos en un producto de valor para la agricultura y el paisajismo, llamado compost. El proceso transforma sustratos orgánicos heterogéneos y frescos en materia orgánica estabilizada, dióxido de carbono, agua y minerales. Debe ser completamente aeróbico, con una relación C/N óptima entre 25/1 y 35/1, generando una considerable cantidad de calor en el proceso, con una humedad óptima para la máxima eficiencia, ya que si es excesiva desplazan el aire de los poros e inducen la indeseable anaerobiosis. El uso del compost tiene efectos benéficos sobre propiedades físicas, químicas y biológicas del suelo. En el presente trabajo se realizaron tres pilas de compostaje de aproximadamente 1m3 cada una, en contenedores de madera cubiertos, manejadas con técnicas diferentes. Los tres métodos de compostaje arrojaron diferencias contrastantes en las características del producto final. Instituto Agrotécnico "Pedro M.
