Compost Preparation
Scientific Compost Preparation
Converting Waste into Nutrient-Rich Gold
Composting is a chemical process that breaks down lignin and cellulose into forms the mushroom mycelium can consume.
Step-by-Step Evolution
1
Pre-wetting
Soaking straw for 48 hours to ensure deep moisture absorption.
2
Main Stack
Creating stacks with supplements for aerobic fermentation.
3
Turning Schedule
Regular turning (Day 0, 4, 8, etc.) to ensure uniform heat.
4
Tunnel Loading
Moving to the Phase-II tunnel for peak heat and oxygenation.
Common Pitfalls to Avoid
- Anaerobic pockets in the stack creating foul odor.
- Temperature drop below 50°C during Phase-II.
- Inconsistent turning leading to un-fermented straw.
