COMPOSTING???

I was thinking about Composting..it is not COMPOSING lol.. i bet everyone aware about this term plus this is one good way to help our earth. Compost is sort of organic material that derived from plants and animals that have been decomposed through aerobic decomposition. Usually the idea making DIY compose is more on domestic food waste..but mine is using rabbit manure.

I got this idea of making my own COMPOST fertilizer when i was looking at my backyard..thinking how to make use of my rabbit manure.Noted: actually u can use fresh rabbit manure as fertilizers but people think it is disgusting. Composting might change peoples perception i hope.

The problem is we only got small space plus there is no soil..everything was covered with concrete. So i've done some research about composting..for people who doesn't have a backyard or living in apartment....and i found one interesting article about making your own compost. Again ..i just need ideas especially on the compost container..which way is the best..to implement it on our house situation. You can refer to this link .. http://planetgreen.discovery.com/home-garden/apartment-compost-guide.html

I want to use EM(effective microorganism) replacing vermicompost worm.Here i want to try my own composting way. The materials will be:

a. rabbit manure
b. paper/saw dust
c. EM
d. a little bit of soil
e. agricultural lime
f. broken pail that i have at home..i will punch holes at side and at the bottom of it.

I will start looking for stuff..hope everything work! To all readers i always welcome your ideas..or comments..

Green Thinking: The First Step

Its GREEN again!

Green is a major issues that has been discuss by everyone in this planet. Me as a muslim as well as someone who shares this planet earth with all living things, as a Caliph who held the responsibilities must at least take one simple step on showing our support to help our beloved earth. Futhermore..islam is Green! naturally islam teaches the human how to live in harmony with the natural world. This is not something contrived or forced upon us, but an inevitable extension of living the islamic way of life.

Here is one simple suggestion..it's the easiest even a child can do this..


STEP ONE : Try not to take a plastic bag when you consume simple stuff (like candy, newspapers, soda etc etc).

Simple isn't it? Why i said this..u can always put those stuff inside your bag. I believe most of us always bring our own bag..since a simple stuff doesn't need a lot of space. Children can do it..no problem with adult. I already do this for a long time..since i was studying in Uitm. This is one step to reduce plastic usage. Of course there always lots of other way..but again just try this one simple step..if each of us from Malaysia apply this..i believe we can reduce tons of plastic waste everyday.
