“Turning Leaf Waste to Black Gold” – LEAF COMPOSTING
Leaf Composting is a natural process of recycling organic matter such as leaves and other garden waste. Leaves and garden waste such as grass clippings, twigs, flowers etc are seen as a resource which are collected in a simple cost effective PVC coated or metal composting mesh instead of burning them. Adding water to maintain the moisture on a frequent basis and accelerator (microbes, sour curd etc) helps fasten the process. The decomposed leaves can be used as Leaf Mulch or Leaf Compost. Flies and pests are minimal and it does not produce any bad odour. We have promoted the leaf composting process across different parts of the city. Satya Sai Foundation has taken up this green initiative and has been spreading across all their Samithis. Ward 132 and Attiguppe Ward Office have implemented the leaf composting units educating pourakarmikas and other workers.

Myth:
Compost smells, breeds mosquitoes, is unhygienic and spreads diseases.
Fact:
The leaves are kept compact in the mesh. They generate heat while they get decomposed, so mosquitoes cant breed or live. Although fallen leaves are seen everywhere in a forest, forests don’t smell, do they? Think about it.
