Composting has been defined as "the product of natural degradation of botanical and putrescible waste by the action of bacteria, fungi and other organisms in the presence of an adequate air supply"(Warmer, 1997). Although this is true the word compost is also often used for the decomposition process that is anaerobic. It is degradation without air and therefore is not actually composting and is known as anaerobic digestion.
Composting has been used since man began to plant and harvest for food, when an association between waste products, plant growth and the harvest yield was realised. Different waste products have been used over the centuries that fertilise the soil through the breakdown of waste material known has composting. Although these products have been used extensively the processes involved were not clearly understood until recent years and even today the reactions in the compost pile though understood can be vague.
Features of Bioclean® Compost
Bioclean® Compost contains naturally derived enzymes and saprophytic bacteria originally derived from soil which utilize only non-living organic matter as a food source. It is a unique combination of mesophilic and thermophilic bacteria, molds and yeasts, consisting different types of microbial cultures, all of which occur naturally in soil, but in very small numbers. These microorganisms are not harmful to either aquatic or land plants, birds, animals or humans and have been released all over the world into marine and fresh water lakes, ponds, rivers, municipal sewer lines, drains, septic systems and soil with complete ecological safety. |

Benefits of Bioclean®

Successful composting relies upon the right microorganism to biodegrade wastes. Bioclean® Compost is a proprietary blend of high potency live bacterial cultures, enzymes and micronutrients, selected from nature to seed new compost piles with high numbers of environmentally beneficial organisms. When sprinkled onto a new compost pile, the naturally derived enzymes and high efficiency bacteria quickly begin to biodegrade bulk organic debris in the pile, while the special micronutrients blended into Bioclean® Compost provide these microbes with the trace nutrients needed to accelerate their metabolic cycle. When Bioclean® Compost is used as a bioseed, organic debris will typically be converted to a rich organic compost within 30 days.
Bioclean® Compost does several things to benefit the soil that synthetic fertilizers cannot do. First, it adds organic matter, which improves the way water interacts with the soil. In sandy soils, compost acts as a sponge to help retain water in the soil that would otherwise drain down below the reach of plant roots (in this way, it protects plants against drought). In clay soils, compost helps to add porosity (tiny holes and passageways) to the soil, making it drain more quickly so that it doesn't stay waterlogged and doesn't dry out into a bricklike substance.
