How to make fertilizer compost in 7 days?

While it is possible to create compost in 7 days, it typically requires specific compost machine and conditions that may not be feasible for every farms. Here are some steps you can follow to try and make compost in 7 days:

Start with the Right Ingredients

To make fast compost, you need to use materials that break down quickly. This includes items such as grass clippings, vegetable scraps, and shredded newspaper. Avoid using materials such as meat, dairy, or large woody items, as these take longer to decompose.

Shred Your Materials

Shredding your compost materials into smaller pieces can help to increase the surface area and speed up the decomposition process. For high moisture materials, we designed the semi-wet material crusher which can crush the moisture of 40%-60% materials. For shredding the dry materials, we offer the vertical crusher which can crush straw, cake dregs, distiller’s grains and so on.

Adjust Moisture Content

In addition, moisture content of organic manure materials is also important. As it is advisable to keep it at 40%-60% during aerobic fermentation. Organic manure composting is a water consuming process. Is there a water adding system designed for composting? Of course. We can add a water thank to compost tuner according to your requirements.

Maintain Proper Temperature

Then you can layer your materials in a pile that is at least 2.4 m wide and 0.6-1 m tall to start manure composting. To make compost quickly, you need to maintain a temperature of at least 140-160°F (60-71°C) in the center of the pile. Use a compost thermometer to monitor the temperature, and add water or dry materials as needed to maintain the right moisture levels.

Oxygen Supply

Proper aeration is key to keeping the temperature at 60-71°C, which is necessary for making compost quickly. Use a poultry manure composting machine to create air channels in the compost pile, which will help to maintain the proper temperature and provide oxygen to the microorganisms.

Use a Compost machine

For finish the above steps quickly and easily, buying suitable compost turner is important. It can turn over manure materials regularly. In this process, enough oxygen will be transported in compost piles while excessive heat will be dissipated. For small or medium poultry farms, we designed the windrow composting machine for quick composting. It can process 500-700 m3/h. If you have a large farms, we have 1000-1500 m3/h windrow compost turner for choose.
