DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for composting garbage and leaves with microorganisms using soil and an apparatus for composting garbage and leaves for implementing the method.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Heretofore, as a method of disposing of garbage generated from a home kitchen or the like, if there is a large garden,
A method of digging a hole in the garden soil and burying the garbage, and then waiting for the garbage organic matter to be decomposed by microorganisms and composted in the soil as it was. Today, there are very few private homes with large gardens, and there are limited places to dig holes,
In addition, in order to eliminate the need to dig a hole in the garden every time and to process the garbage in a small garden space, garbage is often put into a cylindrical container and decomposed by microorganisms.
As this type of garbage disposer, for example,
As shown in JP-A-9-33734, many bell-shaped ones have been proposed.

However, in such a treatment using a cylindrical container, if raw garbage is put and left as it is, oxygen does not reach the inside, delaying the decomposition of garbage by microorganisms, and decay by anaerobic bacteria and the like. May begin. In order to supply oxygen to the inside, it is actually very difficult to insert a scoop or stick from the top of the container and to stir the whole inside or the bottom. In this way, the decomposition rate of garbage becomes slow due to insufficient stirring of the whole,
In addition, organic matter rots in the part that cannot be stirred,
There was a problem that the bad smell generated by the rot caused discomfort. In addition, new soil may be additionally injected to cover the surface of newly inserted garbage because stirring is difficult. However, obtaining soil is becoming increasingly difficult in residential areas in urban areas.

As another type of garbage disposer, for example, a basket-shaped container as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Publication No. 2000-177331 has been proposed. In this type of apparatus, the garbage inside may be scattered around, and it is difficult to sufficiently stir the lower part or the inside of the container even with stirring. It was not easy to proceed, and it was difficult to efficiently compost garbage.

[0005] In addition, plant wastes such as fallen leaves are produced from hedges of gardens, garden trees, flowers and the like from public facilities such as schools and private houses, and incineration was performed in the old days by bonfires. Due to the ban on bonfires, collected fallen leaves are packed in bags, transported by garbage trucks and incinerated at incineration plants. Especially during the fall deciduous season, the amount of garbage increases.

[0006]

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and can uniformly stir garbage and plant leaves in a charged processing container together with soil together with the soil. Oxygen can be sufficiently supplied to the inside of the container, which increases the efficiency of decomposing microorganisms, and also enables the efficient composting even in a small garden, a method for treating garbage and leaves, and a high-performance and An object of the present invention is to provide a compact outdoor garbage and leaf composting treatment device.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of a method and an apparatus for composting garbage and leaves with microorganisms according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

First, a method of composting garbage and leaves will be described. The present invention uses, as shown in FIG. 3, a processing vessel 1 having two processing chambers A and B in which soil 6 in which microorganisms are growing is stored. As for the soil 5, microorganisms such as various decomposing bacteria can be forcibly inoculated with a group of cells or a method of waiting for natural occurrence. Then, as shown in FIG. 1, when the garbage and / or the leaves 6 generated in each of the treatment chambers A and B are put into the processing, the new feeding is stopped during the period required for the decomposition, and the decomposition is directly performed by the microorganism. The ripening treatment to be advanced is alternately performed between the ripening process and the stirring and continuous throwing process in which the generated garbage and / or leaves 6 are added as needed and the mixture is continuously stirred with the whole amount of soil 5 uniformly. The period required for the ripening treatment usually takes about 7 to 10 days in summer and about 2 to 3 weeks in winter.

Then, an increased amount of the soil 5 in each of the processing chambers A and B is taken out as needed as compost, and a certain amount of the soil 5 in each of the processing chambers A and B is always secured to keep the garbage and / or garbage generated at any time. Alternatively, the leaves 6 can be continuously composted efficiently.

Next, an apparatus for composting garbage and leaves for carrying out the method for composting garbage and leaves by the microorganism will be described. As shown in FIG. 2, the present apparatus vertically divides an enclosing processing vessel 1 having an open top, bottom, and front into two independent processing chambers A and B with a partition plate 2, and opens each of the opened processing chambers. In the front of the processing chambers A and B, the shut-off plates 3,
The processing chambers A and B store soil 5 in which microorganisms are breeding in a bottom portion.

The blocking plates 3 and 4 are preferably provided with finger hooks 9 to facilitate lifting. Further, the processing container 1 has many upper, lower, front and open parts, and in order to secure strength, a strong thick wood plywood or a plate material made of ceramic, metal, resin or the like which is hard to corrode is used, It is preferable to use a metal or resin-made L-shaped coupling reinforcing angle 8 at a corner portion where the plates are coupled, and to firmly fix it with screws or the like.

Then, the generated garbage and / or leaves 6 are put into the processing vessel 1, the blocking plates 3 and 4 are removed, and most of the soil 5 is once scraped out and returned with a scoop or the like. The garbage and / or the leaves 6 are uniformly stirred and mixed as a whole, and as shown in FIG. 3, the blocking plates 3 and 4 are inserted into the guide vertical frames 7 so that the soil 5 where the front surfaces of the processing chambers A and B remain. The soil 5 left outside the container at this time is returned by a scoop or the like. In this way, the aging process of the garbage and / or the leaves 6 and the continuous stirring and throwing process can be alternately performed in the processing chambers A and B. Further, since there is no vertical frame at the front of each of the processing chambers A and B, when the blocking plates 3 and 4 are removed, a scoop or the like can freely pass through the open front and the soil 5 can be removed.
Scraping and stirring can be performed extremely smoothly.

When the processing container 1 is assembled with bolts 11 or the like, it can be made extremely compact by stacking six plates, can be piled up at the storefront without being bulky in sales, and can transport a large amount of goods at once. It is economical to carry. In addition, if a sheet-shaped or plate-shaped canopy 10 is put on the container, it is possible to prevent rainwater from infiltrating and becoming excessive in moisture, and to prevent excessive drying due to exposure to wind. it can.

[0018]

As described above, the present invention does not require any additional input of new soil for covering garbage and / or leaves as in the conventional method, and a high-quality compost can be obtained. . In addition, there is an advantage that the generation of offensive odor peculiar to garbage can be suppressed as much as possible because the rot hardly occurs. Furthermore, because it can be processed efficiently, compactness is realized, it is not necessary to make it tall like a bell shape, and it can be installed easily even in a narrow garden so that it is not noticeable from outside in the shade of trees etc. became.
