What is a pile of compost? What are its advantages and disadvantages?

Strip composting is to evenly mix feces and compost accessories in a proper proportion, and then pile the mixed materials on the soil or cement floor to make a long strip pile.

The biggest advantages of strip composting are: less investment in equipment, and only overturning can meet the requirements; Simple process and easy operation; The stacking length can be adjusted freely according to the amount of feces. Disadvantages are: the stacking height is usually 1 ~ 1.2m, so it occupies a large area; The composting fermentation is slow and the composting cycle is long.

If strip compost is carried out in the open air, it will not only emit odor, but also be easily affected by bad weather such as rainfall. Therefore, it is suggested that it should be carried out in a simple greenhouse to facilitate the collection and treatment of odor.
