ABSTRACT:
A composting mixture for facilitating the rapid decomposition of organic material to be composted in which there is a relatively small amount of various microorganisms for digesting the material, a relatively small amount of enzymes for breaking down the cell structure of the organic material to enable it to be digested by the microorganisms, and a relatively large amount of materials rich in proteins and carbohydrates to facilitate the rapid reproduction of the microorganisms prior to the time that the enzymes have broken down the cell structure of the organic material. The materials rich in protein and carbohydrates are so selected as to provide a ratio of one to from three to four parts of protein by weight to carbohydrate. This simulates the ratio of protein to carbohydrate in growing vegetable matter and enables initial rapid reproduction of the microorganisms. The enzymes include a hemicellulase, a cellulase, a protease, an amylase and lipase. The microorganisms include both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. The materials rich in proteins and carbohydrates can include varying proportions of a high-protein flour such as one made from durum wheat, Torula yeast, cornstarch and blood meal.
