17. What is the difference between garden compost, fresh soilkind compost and fertilizer?

Garden compost is the most natural way to dispose of organic waste. If managed carefully, it will result in fresh, mature compost. However, this is very time consuming and cooked foods, dairy products and meat in particular should not be treated in this way as they attract vermin.

soilkind converts the main components of your kitchen waste, such as sugar, starch or proteins. These are broken down into fresh compost within 48 hours. When mixed with soil, fresh compost gives your plants an instant boost and exploits their nutritional potential. soilkind compost is so rich in nutrients that it can be mixed in a ratio of 1:10. That means 1 part soilkind compost with 10 parts soil.

Devices that simply dry organic waste do just that: chop up and dry food. Due to the excessively high temperatures and lack of moisture, no biological decomposition process takes place. The organic compounds in this waste are therefore inaccessible to plants. In some cases, the use of dried organic waste (often referred to as "fertilizer") can also cause mold and inhibit plant growth.
