Vinnige kompos / fast compost
Hier is 'n stap-vir-stap gids vir die Berkeley-komposmetode in beide Afrikaans en Engels. Hierdie "vinnige" metode kan voltooide kompos in net 18 dae lewer.
------------------------------
English: Step-by-Step Berkeley Method
1. Gather Materials
* Carbon (Browns): Dry leaves, straw, or shredded cardboard.
* Nitrogen (Greens): Grass clippings, food scraps, or manure.
* Ratio: Aim for a 2:1 ratio of browns to greens by volume (or equal parts to reach the ideal 30:1 carbon-to-nitrogen ratio).
2. Build the Pile (Day 1)
* Size: The pile must be at least 1 cubic meter or 1m x 1m x 1m to retain heat.
* Layering: Alternate thin layers of greens and browns.
* Water: Soak each layer as you build. It should be as moist as a wrung-out sponge.
3. The 18-Day Schedule
* Days 1–4: Let the pile sit to heat up. Do not turn it yet.
* Day 5: Perform the first turn. Move the outside materials to the center and the center to the outside.
* Days 6–17: Turn the pile every 2 days (Day 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17).
* Day 18: The compost should be dark, crumbly, and ready to use.
------------------------------
Afrikaans: Stapsgewyse Berkeley-metode
1. Versamel Materiaal
* Koolstof (Bruin): Droë blare, strooi, of fyngekapte karton.
* Stikstof (Groen): Grassnysels, kosafval, of mis.
* Verhouding: Mik vir 'n 2:1 verhouding van bruin tot groen materiaal volgens volume.
2. Bou die Hoop (Dag 1)
* Grootte: Die hoop moet ten minste 1 kubike of 1m x 1m x 1m wees om hitte te behou.
* Lae: Wissel dun lae groen en bruin materiaal af.
* Water: Maak elke laag nat terwyl jy bou. Dit moet so vogtig soos 'n uitgedraaide spons voel.
3. Die 18-dae Skedule
* Dag 1–4: Laat die hoop staan sodat dit warm word. Moet dit nie draai nie.
* Dag 5: Draai die hoop vir die eerste keer. Skuif die materiaal van buite na die binnekant en die binnekant na buite.
* Dag 6–17: Draai die hoop elke tweede dag (Dag 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17).
* Dag 18: Die kompos behoort donker, krummelrig en gereed vir gebruik te wees.
------------------------------
Quick Tip / Vinnige Wenk: If the pile is too smelly, add more "browns." If it’s not heating up, add more "greens" (nitrogen).
