Shortening the period under long method composting

Production of compost by long method takes around 28-30 days for its completion. This centre has developed a technique wherein productive white button mushroom compost can be produced in 16 days time. Farmers adopting this method should first ensure that N level in the ingredients should not be more than 1.5% in any case otherwise duration of composting may increase. Standard formulations as suggested by DMR, Solan can be used. Turning schedule followed should be as follows. -1 day wetting of the ingredients, 0 day pile formation, +4 day 1^st turning, +6 day 2^nd turning, +8 day 3^rd turning (add gypsum), +10^th day 4th turning, +12^th day 5^th turning, +14^th day 6^th turning, +16^th day check for smell of ammonia, if no ammonia smell than spawn. Additional turning may be given if ammonia smell persists.
