Aesthetics, convenience, and environmentalism are what is helpful about compost pits. The structures in question involve the placement of compostable, decomposable, recyclable materials into a hole dug in the ground. Such a way of producing dark-colored, fresh-smelling, nutrient-rich organic matter known as compost and humus within about a year requires no construction or maintenance -- as in the case of compost bins -- and resists the pesty, windy challenges of a backyard, uncontained compost heap or pile.

What are the disadvantages you can get from using compost pits?

How can compost be produced?
Breakdown of carbon- and nitrogen-rich recyclable materials in cultivated and uncultivated lands or in compost bins, containers, heaps, piles, and pits are ways in which compost can be produced. Compost is organic material which is dark in color, fresh in smell, and rich in nutrients. It represents the end-product of human-intervened or Mother Nature-guided processes.
Why do some people have compost piles?
Facilitate aeration, layering and moisturization; save on equipment costs; and speed up decomposition are reasons why people have compost piles. Dark-colored, fresh-smelling, nutrient-rich organic matter can result from composting processes in containers, heaps, piles or pits. The choice depends upon what the compost-minded gardener has in mind in terms of buying or making bins, digging holes or moving around or over containers and pits.
Why is fish not added to compost heaps?
That it attracts foraging wildlife, releases unpleasant smells, and requires extra turning are reasons why fish is not added to compost heaps. The food leftovers and scraps in question nevertheless may be layered -- with such cellulose-heavy items as sawdust and wood chips -- into underground compost pits or subjected to appropriate vigorous turning in tumbler-style compost bins.
What can you do with juicer shavings?
This may not be completely helpful but any organic food material usually can be made into a compost. Pits, cob, chicken bones and such are sometimes mulched with other organics into soil to help fertilize the dirt to help with the growing of plants or other friut. The main reason this is so helpful is due to the iron, calcium and other natural deposits food still has when you are finished with it. Use a plastic bag to line the pulp ejector of the juicer. This will neatly catch the pulp, make clean up easier and also make it simple to compost them.
What happens to compost pits after the first week?
The initiation of anaerobic decomposition is the happening in compost pits after the first week. The type of composting in question refers to a hole which is dug in the ground to facilitate the breakdown of carbon- and nitrogen-rich materials without inputs from air. It yields dark-colored, fresh-smelling, nutrient-rich organic material for soil amendments, fertilizers, and mulches in as little as three months.
How does compost help prevent pollution?
Minimization of greenhouse gas production and landfill use and maximization of resources are ways in which compost helps the world. Compost represents the end-product of human- or Mother Nature-guided break down of carbon- and nitrogen-rich organic materials into dark-colored, fresh-smelling, nutrient-rich humus. It saves on space dedicated to greenhouse gas-producing landfills.
What are the disadvantages of pit compost?
Less cooperative access and longer processing times are disadvantages of pit compost. Compost is the dark-colored, fresh-smelling, nutrient-rich organic matter which breaks down naturally through human intervention or natural forces. It may be more accessible and available in above-ground bins, containers, heaps or piles than from in-ground pits.
How will compost help your kitchen garden?
Compost adds essential nutrients, helps conserve moisture, improves soil friability and structure. It may also contain helpful invertebrates such as worms and also micro-organisms.
