Procedure
The soil mixing method decomposes kitchen garbage by the power of microorganisms, so it is important to create an environment where microorganisms can work easily. Specifically, we will proceed with the work while adjusting the amount of water and paying attention to the supply of oxygen.
1.Mix the small kitchen garbage and the soil.
The smaller the kitchen garbage, the faster it is. (2 to 3 cm is a guide)

It gives moisture to the extent that you feel moist when you hold it, enough water to make soil buns.
Point: Adjusting the amount of water
2.Put the mixture of kitchen garbage and soil into one of the planters.
3.Cover the soil from above so that kitchen garbage hides.
By putting the soil firmly so that kitchen garbage cannot be seen, it shuts out insects and smells.
4.When the planter is full, stir the whole thing.
- After that, stir occasionally (approximately once a week) Frequently disassembly is faster.
Point: Supply of oxygen - If it is too dry when stirring, add water, add dry soil and mix if there is a lot of water.
Point: Adjusting the amount of water
5.It will continue in the same way with other planters.
When the four planters are full, the first planter is completed.
