Description :
Household waste management is an issue not to be ignored. In the wake of rapidly
depleting natural resources and the health hazard caused by the huge amount of waste
produced, recovery and reuse have become inevitable in the present scenario. In the
present study, the kitchen waste was collected daily for one month and spread it in a
old cooler tank and kept for 2 months. To keep it moist water was sprinkled on the top
of the tank. After 2 months the manure was ready. The soil testing was done in
Agriculture College, Nagpur. The analysis showed that standard pH value, nitrogen
content and moisture holding capacity of kitchen waste manure was as good as
readymade vermicompost and normal soil. Thus by using this household kitchen waste
manure the big problem of waste management can be solved. It will also be helpful in
keeping environment healthy. We can save our ecosystem and healthy by managing our
kitchen waste.
