Koji Takakura earn Copyright No. P00200600206 for Organic Waste Composting Process Takakura Method Household Scale. What about larger households such as boarding, food stalls, Warteg, catering home? Mr. Koji Takakura has gained Rights (IPR) No. P00200600206 for Organic Waste Composting Process Takakura Method Household Scale or known by Takakura Home Method. Through NGOs PUSDAKOTA Surabaya, Takakura composter unit or a close called Basket Takakura increasingly recognized not only in Surabaya, but has spread to various cities in Indonesia. Composting with Takakura basket is ideal for households that consisted of 4-7 people for family size of about 40cm x 25cm x70cm.

What about the household as the larger dorms or diner or Warteg, catering home? Drum Garden Karinda develop Takakura. At first we accommodate the questions of the trainees who have a problem with the number of organic waste collected every day. Of course we want to find a solution, unfortunately if a lot of organic waste disposed. Finally we found the answer that is by Drum Takakura.

Every morning we exercise morning walk through the "early market" is a collection of artisans vegetables hung on Earth residential boulevard in Jakarta Karang Indah South every day from 6 o'clock until 11 o'clock. We see those activities that generate organic waste from fresh vegetables sortiran to be marketable and the remaining unsold. Considerable amount, about 10-12 kg of vegetable 7 artisans. In our minds the idea to turn this garbage into "money". But the land in the narrow Karinda Gardens, was filled with a variety of models for waste composting like leaves. Then we tried to use an old steel drum was cut into two parts to a volume of 100 L. Price drums used without the lid Rp.35.000, typically used for pots. To qualify as a vessel composting method of Takakura, the bottom and sides were given a few holes with a drill. For the base and the "blanket" made fiber pads with size 70cm x 70cm. Interior wall coated with a folded cardboard box out and tied with rope so as not to move if the compost is mixed. Used as a compost activator solid half-baked from the basket which is full Takakura (15-20kg).

Before you put the drum, chopped or shredded waste with a knife and then mixed with sawdust to add "brown trash" is an element of carbon. This garbage should not be mixed with the shrimp shells, scales and entrails of fish because it will cause the smell. It's amazing that the dough becomes very hot compost, if measured with a thermometer can reach 60 ° C and out of steaming water vapor-kepul like when we cook the rice. There is no bad smell, which smelled slightly sour smell only because the fermentation process. Every day a new garbage and diaaduk inserted to the bottom of the drum so well blended. New garbage will compost is fermented by microbes. Volume will shrink because the vegetables contain a lot of water, which is used for drinking and spreading compost microbes.

Oxygen for microbial respiration should be sufficient, by stirring each time entering a new garbage. Within 30-40 days the drum is full, but not yet fully mature compost because there's a new garbage. Visible still green among the black compost. Temperature is still hot. We have to ripen before about 2 weeks, until all the dough into compost and the temperature was not warm anymore. Next compost quality "super" can be harvested, the price could reach more than Rp1000/kg. Once harvested from one drum Takakura can produce 60-70 kg of compost.

To continue making a new compost bin, take 15 kg of the compost mixture is still hot (before it ripened) and transferred to a new drum Takakura. Please try, you can be "addicted" and eager to be a container for organic waste in the morning market. Sri Murniati Djamaludin, Garden Manager Karinda complete address and phone number in this blog.
