How efficient is the compost soil
Posted by Administrator on 2/12/2011 to Joraform Soil
These series of blog posts is created as a test to show how efficient the compost soil you create from Joraform Compost. In this test we choose to show general improvements using the compost soil as a fertilizer. We also made a more specific test where we took two tomato plants and use the compost soil in one pot and regular fertilizer bought in store in the other pot.

In this blog we are going to try to show how efficient the compost soil created from kitchen waste in Joraform composters really are. We are using a lot of pictures because it's the easiest way to really show changes over time. For this test we are using two gardens for our general test and two pots and two tomatoplants for our specific test. First we have general changes in our gardens, this is not really a test because there can be a lot of other things that have impact on how good a garden looks. Things like how much water is used, how much sun etc. But if both of the gardens look better after use of the JK compost soil than it says something. 

  
As you can see the difference in color is obvious. You can also see a bone from a chicken that we put in to the compost tumbler 6 weeks ago. The darker color is regular soil that you have to mix the compost soil with not to make it to strong for the plants.   







In a second test we took two pots and planted tomato plants. In one of the pots we planted the tomato plant with regular pot soil bought at a store nearby. In this pot we used a fertilizer that where mixed in with the water we gave the plant. 

In the other one we gave it 50% compost soil mixed with regular pot soil and another additional 50% regular pot soil to fill up the pot. 






 









We are now going to see what the difference in health, grow and color etc. We use automatic sprinkler system so that both plants will get equal quantity of water. The black tape on the left pot shows the pot with the Jora Compost soil and the one to the right is the regular soil with bought fertilizer.















All that we need to do now is to wait and see what happens
