The advancement of the process of breakdown of compostable materials is the way in which microbes can be useful in compost bins. The microbes in question may appear as beneficial bacteria and fungi. They decompose carbon- and nitrogen-rich recyclables and thereby generate the energy and heat which ensure efficient decomposition in less than a year.

What are the benefits of using sealed compost bins for composting?

Sealed compost bins help control odors, keep pests away, and speed up the composting process by creating a controlled environment for decomposition.


Why are most compost bins plastic?

Aeration and convenience are reasons why many compost bins are plastic. Plastic bins facilitate the aeration that composting requires to break carbon- and nitrogen-rich recyclables down into dark-colored, fresh-smelling, nutrient-rich organic matter called compost or humus. They tend to be easier to make and to move.


What is a by-product of compost bins?

Amendments, fertilizers, and mulches are by-products of compost bins. The containers in question hold dark-colored, fresh-smelling, nutrient-rich organic matter at the end of properly monitored decomposition of recyclable materials and therefore serve as sources of soil enricheners and weed-controllers.


What do microbes need to build compost heaps?

Alternating layers of properly aerated and moistened carbon- and nitrogen-rich recyclables is the need that microbes have to build compost heaps. Dark-colored, fresh-smelling, nutrient-rich organic matter called compost or humus results from the consumption and excretion of dead, decaying, dying or living animal and plant matter by macro- and micro-organisms. The alternating brown- and green-colored layers will have to be turned at least once a week and supplementally watered to the consistency of a wrung-out sponge to prevent mildew, mold or wildfire and to support the temperature levels that befit proper composting.


What industries use microbes to make useful products?

What microbes would you find on a compost heap?

There are millions of microbes both on and inside of a compost pile. They start as simply organisms, but as they develop they evolve at an astonishing rate into larger, recognizable insects. Which microbes you might find depends on where the compost heap is, what stage of development it is in, who is tending to it, etc.
