Making Collective Compost<\/strong><\/p>\n

In this post, we ponder the reasons for making compost, the taboos around it, the types of compost, how they are made and what materials they carry. We review examples of collective composts and how the community can put it in practice, generating neighbor participation, and where everyone can enjoy the benefits.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In recent years, making compost is a trend, but perhaps we are not entirely clear about why to make compost or what possibilities there are if you live in a condominium.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why do we compost<\/b><\/h2>\n

Although it seems very obvious, making compost is a way to recycle organic waste, reduce the garbage that ends up in the municipal dumps, and generate reusable fertile soil. And why you would like to produce soil?<\/span><\/p>\n

In some places, such as the Riviera Maya, the quality of the soil is poor. And it is common to buy black soil or soil with leaf for gardening. However, this soil is taken out of the woods, and this causes soil erosion. Plus, it\u2019s expensive. Instead, if we generate our soil, we avoid contributing to erosion, and\u00a0 we can even sell the composted soil and make a profit from \u201cthe garbage.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Taboos<\/b><\/h2>\n

Some people choose not to do compost because they fear that they will have bad smells and attract rats, cockroaches or flies, among other insects. However, a well-made compost is odor-free and unattractive to insects or animals.<\/span><\/p>\n

Types of compost<\/b><\/h2>\n

In practical terms, there are two main types of compost: aerobic and anaerobic. As their names indicate, to generate aerobic compost, you require oxygen. For the anaerobic, you don\u2019t. You can make compost manually, or you may use some ecotechnology.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t
