Problems of Composting and their Remedies

Problems of Composting and Their Remedies - Composting procedure may sometimes be associated with certain problems which make the process unsatisfactory.

1. Glass, metal, polythene bags and other non-biodegradable matter have to be separated from the refuse. This may be done mechanically or by hand before and after composting.

2. Farmers may refuse to use compost if it includes night soil.

3. There needs a market and tow price for the compost.

4. Organic refuse and night soil may contain fly eggs and larvae before they come to the process. To prevent them from hatching the compost has to be turned often so that the surface materials are brought to the hot centre. More over the process should be carried out on a hard surface to prevent the larvae from burrowing into the soil.
