WEALTH
FROM GARBAGE
1.
INTRODUCTION
Generally
a family of 4-5 people produces garbage of 1Kg. daily. This garbage
can be devided into two groups-wet garbage (organic which can be
decomposed)& -dry garbage (inorganic which can be recycled).
Wet garbage: Which
can be decomposed (organic, natural). E.g. kitchen garbage (stems
of vegetable, used tea powder, fruit peals, bones, egg cover, r
emaining food), hair, nails, dry leaves, coconut fibre, stale flowers
etc. biodegradable material.
Dry garbage: Which
can be recycled. E.g. plastic, paper, glass, metal, rubber, industrial
wrapping etc. This man made garbage should be sent to rag pickers
for recycling.
Wet garbage should be processed like natural cycle & when it
is decomposed, it should be used for gardening. In this process
CO2 & useful juices are produced. These are useful for plant
growth. If these are not used properly, air gets polluted. So this
process of decomposing of garbage should be done with the help of
BIOSANITIZER, which is spread around the tree, in a soil or in pots
where small plants are growing.
Biosanitiser is used as culture for demonstration for “WEALTH
FROM GARBAGE” project. Mosquitoes, bad odour, flies etc. are
not found with the process of decomposition when biosanitizer is
used as a culture. Vermicompost/ bioculture/ vermicasting/ live
earthworms these are all different processes.
2. PROCESS OF GARBAGE DECOMPOSITION
1sq.mt(11sq.ft)
place is necessary for wet garbage from a single family. This place
can be available on land around the trees, terrace, balcony or 7medium
size pots. Biosanitizer should be used in proper quantity.
• Process on land: Biosanitizer should be spread in a soil
which is loosened around the roots of a tree. . A layer of decomposing
garbage of about 2-3 inches should be placed on it. It should be
watered as usual. Then it should be watered daily accordingly to
the necessity of the plant. When the garbage layer blackens spread
next layer on it. There is no necessity of Biosanitizer again.
• Process on terrace or balcony: 1.5 to 2 feet in width &
6 inches in height brickwork on the border without construction
is necessary for this purpose. Spread a plastic sheet on a base
& near the wall of about 6” tall in this brickwork. Spread
a layer of about 3”coconut fibre, dry leaves, sugercane waste
& fibrous things like this. Spread a layer of 2”of any
soil available near your house. There is no need of Poyata soil.
Useful juices from decomposing material are not blown away because
of this soil. These are stored in this soil. The plant according
to its need absorbs them. Then make a room for a new plant to be
planted in the soil, with your hands & then place a new plant
with its roots uninjured & little bit of soil around it. Spread
Biosanitiser in proper quantity. Spread a layer of garbage of about
2”to 3”. Sprinkle water on it. When previous layer of
garbage blackens, then only spread the next layer of garbage. This
layer should not be more than 1 inch. After this there is no need
of Biosanitizer again. This process can be done in pots also.
If soil is not available, use biomass like coconut coir, dry leaves,
sugercane waste which decompose slowly & naturally are which
are fibrous in nature.
As we have seen above, we can start gardening on terrace with only
layer of 2-3 inches of soil. 1 to 2 inch of layer of soil is formed
every year from what we feed garbage to the plants.
• Process in pots: If we already have pots in our garden,
which are filled with soil, then take away 2-3 inches of soil without
hurting the roots of a plant. Spread Biosanitizer in proper quantity
after loosening the soil near the roots. Spread a layer of about
1 to 2 inch decomposing garbage. Sprinkle water on it. After this
time there is no need of Biosanitizer again for this pot.
3. BENEFITS OF THE PROJECT
• To avoid pollution in the atmosphere
• We can grow our garden which avoiding harmful chemical materials.
To avoid polluted air in our house
• We get plenty of good quality vegetables, fruits, and flowers.
• Water is saved because of moisture in the garbage.
• We can avoid some garden works as changing the soil, loosening
the soil etc. There is no need to look after the soil.
• No need of other fertilizer.
• There is increase in the resistance power of plants.
• For all plants, there is same procedure to grow the plant.
4.
USEFUL HINTS & GENERAL SOLUTION TO YOUR PROBLEMS
• Do not store Biosanitizer in sun. Last longer, when kept
in shadow.
• If you cannot bear view of garbage in your garden, then
spread a layer of a fibrous organic material like coconut coir.
It covers the garbage & allows the air to circulate. When you
have to add more garbage, remove the layer of the fibrous material
for sometime & cover it again.
• Do not spread soil on the garbage.
• Do not dig in the soil or garbage after biosanitizer is
spread over it to find the earthworms. This disturbs the natural
process.
• If you have to go to some other place for about 4 days or
more days, then spread the wet pulp of paper around the plant, paper
is a organic material. So the process will go on.
• Most important is that do not add garbage daily to one plant
or place only. It is necessary to have at least seven pots for seven
days of a week.
• There should not be any bad smell. If the garbage on which
biosanitizer is spread does not stink, the plant looks fresh &
healthy it indicates that the process is functioning properly.
5. SOME HOME REMIDIES
• If the garbage is stinking, there is something wrong in
your procedure, then decrease the height of a layer of the garbage,
plenty of water should be given to the plant.
• If red ants are found near the plant then do not add poisonous
chemicals like gamaxin powder but instead increase the quantity
of water. Sprinkle powder of turmeric.
• We may find insects on plants in cloudy weather or when
a climber/plant is in flowering state & the fruit bearing season
starts, during this period the plant is likely to lack energy. At
this point ants may come to eat these small insects, which are on
the plant. So do not add poisonous chemicals to the plant but instead
add garbage which is dipped in water for about 8 to 12 hrs, at the
steam of the plant.
