  1. Composting Benefits, Advantages of Composting -----Collected by Allance Compost Turner Machinery: www.compost-turner.net What is Composting? Composting is nature's process of recycling decomposed organic materials into a rich soil known as compost. Anything that was once living will decompose. Basically, backyard composting is an acceleration of the same process nature uses What are the benefits of Composting? Compost helps sandy soil retain water and nutrients. As well as this it loosens tightly bound particles in clay or silt soil so roots can spread, water can drain and air can penetrate.Compost alters soil structure, making it less likely to erode Composting Benefits ◆ Improves soil condition and structure ◆ Increases the soil’s ability to hold water ◆ Support living organisms ◆ Helps dissolves mineral forms of nutrients ◆ Buffers soil from chemical imbalances

  2. ◆ May provide biological control of certain pests ◆ Helps return organic materials to the soil and keep them out of landfills and waterways ◆ Composting is a practice long familiar to gardeners and farmers. Many types of organic matter, food, plant and animal wastes, and even soiled paper can be handled in this way. The natural partial decomposition of this organic matter by microorganisms (aerobic respiration) produces a crumbly, brown material rich in plant nutrients. Finished compost is a very useful soil additive as it augments the soil structure, increases the soil’s water holding capacity, and releases nutrients to the soil. Air and moisture must be properly managed to transform these organic materials into compost. Composting reduces the volume of materials send to a landfill, up to 25 or 30%. ◆ Composting transforms raw organic residues into humus-like material through the activity of soil microorganisms. Mature compost stores well and is biologically stable, free of unpleasant odors,and easier to handle and less bulky than raw organic wastes benefits as a soil amendment and a source of biological,chemical,and physical characteristics: disease suppression Increases soil fertility Increases cation exchange capacity Improves soil structure in clayey soils Compost provides many by improving organic matter Increases microbial activity Enhances plant soil Compost Turner for Sale Compost Windrow Turner Written by Allance Compost Turner Machinery www.compost-turner.net Our factory is specialized in manufacturing Compost Turner Machinery of various specifications and yield, including wheeled, tracked, self-propelled machine, double-tank fermentation and manure fermentation turning machine, mushroom compost turning machines, and organic fertilizer production equipment etc. all those demonstrate that We Have Powerful Machinery Production Capability!
