Organic matter and the carbon cycle: let’s bury it (again)!<\/h1>\n

Yes, but first, what is this Organic Matter?<\/h3>\n

Organic matter, also called bio-mass, is all the matter generated directly or indirectly by any form of life, whether human, plant, animal -insects included- or even microbiological such as fungi, yeasts, ferments, and a whole clique of useful bacteria.<\/span><\/p>\n

All organic matter has <\/span>
\n a common point : it contains Carbon<\/u>
\n<\/strong>which is a bit like its basic ‘Lego brick’. This carbon will appear in different forms depending on its combination with other elements throughout the Cycle of which it is a part.<\/span><\/p>\n

In nature, it is usually found ‘stored’ in the form of soil, wood, vegetables, flesh, oil and much more…<\/span><\/p>\n

When nature follows its spontaneous cycle, these materials usually return to the soil, where they break down again into ‘building blocks’ for reuse.<\/span><\/p>\n

Leaves fall off, carcasses disintegrate and turn into humus which then feeds the plants which produce flowers\/leaves\/fruit\/roots which then feed humans\/animals. The latter, in turn, eliminate them in the form of faeces which fertilize the soil. At least that’s how it has been for millions of years.<\/span><\/p>\n

But this carbon can also take a completely different route: burned or simply under the action of a temperature high enough to reduce its mass, part of this ‘stock’ is transformed into a gas – CO2 for example (but also CH4, the famous methane) – and released into the atmosphere. This is the type of route that most of the organic matter is taking today.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nature is well done: plants, through photosynthesis, absorb part of the CO2 and transform it back into oxygen & sugars. If we don’t cut them!<\/span><\/p>\n

And if we want to act and contribute actively to nature, we can avoid that a third of our garbage is burned and thus its Carbon sent in the air in the form of CO2: by composting we remain as close as possible to the cycle of nature by giving back a part of what it gave us. <3<\/span><\/p>\n

With BokashiCompost, we bring in bonus life to the soil in the form of effective Micro-Organisms (yeasts, lactate bacteria, photosynthetic bacteria): we strengthen the plants present so that they can continue to do their job of recovering atmospheric carbon to re-stock it in the soil.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you want to know more about the carbon cycle (the composting part is not covered), here is a very clear video :<\/span><\/p>\n
