Composting is a natural process that turns organic materials like leaves, grass, food scraps and yard waste into a nutrient-rich humus that can be used as a soil amendment. There are several benefits to composting including healthier plants, money savings from reduced need for store-bought fertilizers and trash removal costs, and it keeps organic waste out of landfills. The document provides guidelines for what materials can and cannot be composted as well as methods for standard, slow and fast composting that require different amounts of time, materials and maintenance. Potential problems in compost piles like odors, temperature issues and structure are also discussed along with solutions.

machine, the operation rate of the machine increases and there is a lower need for multiple machines on the worksite. pivotal Benefits Always ready for use Saves time, space, and resources further durability Easy installation on all hydraulic systems.
Rock crushing is a process used in construction, mining, and aggregate assiduity. As the
name suggests, it involves breaking down gemstones into fine, small pieces. The process
generally involves several major pieces of the outfit. A haul loads the clincher with the large
pieces of the gemstone. The clincher cannot crush boulder-sized monuments.
There's a major distinction while copping an alternate-hand or employed tractor; a commodity like 25 to half of the expenditure is the distinction from the new backhoe. likewise, someone must be careful; though an alternate-hand excavator is cheaper it can
bring big during repairs. Hence, the total quantum of cost can make it not worth copping.
The physical check is generally done in two phases; the visual physical check and the operation or performance check. Stage I-Visual fleshly or physical examination.
The following are the effects to be checked in this stage Machine- If examining the machine, you must search around the cube of the machine for any signs of soot that comes from the bank. Any sign of soot will signify that there's a need of catching the machine. Check also for any suggestion of oil painting leakages in the machine or neglect.
This is a slideshow to instruct Master Gardener students about the properties of soils with respect to plant nutrition. Professor J. Stevens, LSU AgCenter fertility specialist, created this PPT
Compost is simply decomposed organic material. The organic material can be plant material or animal matter. While composting may seem mysterious or complicated, it’s really a very simple and natural process that continuously occurs in nature, often without any assistance from mankind. If you’ve ever walked in the woods, you’ve experienced compost in its most natural setting. Both living plants and annual plants that die at the end of the season are consumed by animals of all sizes, from larger mammals, birds, and rodents to worms, insects, and microscopic organisms. The result of this natural cycle is compost, a combination of digested and undigested food that is left on the forest floor to create rich, usually soft, sweet-smelling soil. Backyard composting is the intentional and managed decomposition of organic materials for the production of compost, that magical soil enhancer that is fundamental to good gardening. Anyone can effectively manage the composting process.

Palestine last event orientationfvgnh .pptxRaedMohamed3
An EFL lesson about the current events in Palestine. It is intended to be for intermediate students who wish to increase their listening skills through a short lesson in power point.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The Indian economy is classified into different sectors to simplify the analysis and understanding of economic activities. For Class 10, it's essential to grasp the sectors of the Indian economy, understand their characteristics, and recognize their importance. This guide will provide detailed notes on the Sectors of the Indian Economy Class 10, using specific long-tail keywords to enhance comprehension.

2. • What is composting ?
Composting is a natural process that turns organic materials into a dark substance. This
substance called humus, is a wonderful conditioner for soil.
ADVANTAGES
Healthier plants; Organic matter is known as the soul of the healthy soil. Adding
compost to yard and garden will help to plant to grow bigger and better. The
organic matter in compost helps soil hold on to nutrients and water, benefiting
plants while reducing the risk of pollution.
Money saving; Using compost as a soil conditioner reduces need to purchase
these lawn and garden products. Composting in backyard reduces trash removal
costs. Many sanitation companies charges customers by bag. Compost bin could
decrease the number of bags that household generates.
Composting is practical and convenient.
COMPOSTING
3. Composting is a good alternative to land fillings or incinerating convenient.
Yard and garden waste account for almost 20% of the total amount of trash thrown away
each year. Compost reduces the need to burn or bury the organic material and increase
the quality of our precious topsoil.
What should compost ?
Anything that was once alive can be composted, certain items are best to left out
of the home composting system.
When selecting material for compost pile, avoid:
Waste that attracts pests.
Diseased / Insect ridden plants, fatty food items, such as; meat or cheese, should
be avoided since they can attracts rodents, dogs ,cat, flies and other pests. Cat
and dog wastes should not be added because they can spread certain diseases.
Leave out plants that are heavily diseased or pest infected.
4. What should be used in compost pile?
What’s in?
GREENS ( High in nitrogen) BROWNS(High in carbon)
Grass clipping leaves
Fruits and vegetables Bark
Manure e.g. cow, horse, pig, chicken, Straw
Or rabbit.
Kitchen scrap: e.g. stale bread, egg shells, Woodchips
Tea bags, citrus fruits and vegetable peels.
Sawdust
Corn stalks
5. What’s out?
Do not use
Bones
Dog , Cat feces
Oil, grease, fat
Wood ash
Meat / fish scraps
Dairy products
Weed seeds
Diseased plants
6. How much space will it take ?
Compost pile should be large enough to hold heat, but small enough to allow proper
aeration.
The pile should be 3’ long 3’ tall ( 1 cubic yard).
The pile larger than 5’wide or5’ tall are not recommended because they are difficult to
aerate.
Allow for enough space to work around the pile or bin in full sun and get excellent
results. An area for storing organic materials such as; leaves may also be desired.
A level partially shaded spot is ideal. However we may build pile or bin in full sun and get
excellent results.
Easy access to water supply is also desirable .
7. Is a bin necessary?
Composting bins may save space and look neater, but good quality compost can be
produced using either bins or open piles. Many of plastic metal and wooden bins are
commercially available and may other type can be made at home.
Following points should keep in mind to use bin or enclosure:
•Is the bin size adequate?
• Does the bin allow for adequate aeration ?
• Is the bin easy to load and unload?
• Does the bin allow for easy mixing of items?
8. How much time and energy will it take ? What types and quality of
organic material will be able to compost?
The method selected will be influenced by how much organic material is available for
composting, need for finished compost and the time available for project.
Three method of composting are outlined below : Standard, Slow and Fast. Each method
require varying amount of time and materials.
Standard method
The standard method is recommended if variety of organic material such as leaves, grass,
kitchen scrap and yard / garden waste.
A small area will be needed for the compost pile and the temporary storage of organic
materials. This method produces compost in six to eight weeks in spring and summer : if
done in fall and winter.
9. In standard method, the pile can be made by combining stored materials , or by placing
items in the pile as they become available . When gathering and storing organic
materials keep browns and green separate piles .
It is best to incorporate greens as soon as possible into compost pile ,as most greens can
cause foul odours or attract pests.
Follow the steps:
1 Start the compost pile with a layer of browns. If organic materials are coarse in
nature then chop or shred them into smaller pieces, smaller pieces decay faster.
2 Add a layer of green materials. Try to maintain ratio of 1 part greens to 3 parts
browns.
3 Add a finished compost. This will add extra bacteria and fungi to get your pile off to
fast start.
4 Mix the materials together with a pitchfork.
5 Check for proper moisture. Add water or additional dry material when necessary.
6 Continue to build layer until the bin is full.
10. 7 Mix the pile after one week. Check for proper moisture and aerate the pile.
Move coarse or less decayed materials from the outside to the centre.
Adjust the moisture by sprinkling with water or adding dry material . Steam may be
seen at the time of mixing of pile.
8 Continue mixing the pile every week or two. Check for proper moisture. During this time
the compost will begin to look uniform and dark brown in color. The pile will shrinks as
the composting process takes place . If the pile does not heat up after turning, is
neither too wet nor too dry and most of the original materials are no longer
recognizable . It is now ready for curing.
9 Allow the pile to cure for at least a few weeks, until it looks mostly dark and crumbly
and has a pleasant earthy order. It is now ready to use as a soil amendment.
11. * Slow method
The slow method is recommended if there is no steady supply of organic materials .
this method takes very little time, but it requires from six months to years to
complete. Storage space is not needed since organic materials are added to the
pile as the become available.
with the slow method, time is not spent checking for the proper mixing or
moisture . Since composting is natural process, it will occur with little or no
aeration.
This method is similar to standard method with the following modifications:
1 No need to check for the proper mix or moisture, build the pile with green
or brown materials as the become available.
2 Kitchen waste must be buried deep in the pile. Dig a hole in the top or side
of the pile and cover the scraps with several inches of brown material or
active compost. Foods left on the surface may attract pest or cause smell.
3 After six months or more, finished compost will be found at the bottom or
oldest sections of the pile. It may be collected and used as it produced.
12. Fast method
The fast method requires enormous amount of organic matter, time and energy but results
Finished product very quickly.
The fast method is different from the standard method in the following ways:
Extra space for gathering and storing materials will be needed.
All organic materials are chopped or shredded before they are added to the pile. Both
the electric and gasoline powered chippers and shredders are available.
Check the temperature often with the compost or soil thermometer. In summer
months, it may be necessary to check the pile daily. With the fast method, very
high temperatures (>140degree F) can be reached quickly. These temperatures
are high enough to kill most weed seeds and disease causing organisms. However,
some composting microbes may also be killed. If the temperature goes up ( 150 degree
F) , cool the pile by adding coarse, brown materials.
Mix the pile every three days and check for proper moisture.
13. Problems Possible cause Solution
Foul odour
Ammonia odour
Excess moisture
Compaction
Too much nitrogen
Turn pile or add dry
material such as straw.
Turn the pile or decrease its
size .
Add high carbon (brown)
items.
Low temperature Pile too small
Too little moisture
Poor aeration
Cold weather
Enlarge pile
Add water and turn pile
Turn pile
Insulate the pile with layer
of materials such as straw.
High temperature Pile too large
Too much nitrogen
Reduce size
Add high carbon(brown)
items
