Healthy humus – healthy plants

With composting devices from Gujer Innotec, you can produce high-quality, aerobic soil nutrition in the shortest possible time.
Organic matter in the soil is an important characteristic of soil fertility. Soils with a high organic matter content can store more nutrients and water for plants than soils with less organic matter. The better soil structure ensures a reduced leaching of nutrients and pollutants into the ground water. Therefore, compost cultivation is important for the vegetable and for sustainable agriculture. With Gujer Innotec compost turning machines the best humus is produced from the organic waste.
PRODUCing COMPOST


​The Compost

To obtain a high quality soil, some experience and intuition is needed. With the right technique and the adequate machinery, soon an aerobic nutritious humus can be produced and thus a healthy soil, which automatically results in healthy plants, healthy animals and healthy people.

Moreover, a soil rich in humus stores CO² naturally, protecting our climate. Therefore, with composting a nurturing of the soil is achieved rather than of the plants.

Within five to eight years you can increase the humus content in the soil from one to up to five percent.

TEMPERATURE & Co2


​The Turning

A controlled aerobic composting is recommended. The oxygen content of compost windrow must be observed on a daily basis. The Controlled Microbial Composting (CMC) method uses a substitution test via CO²-monitoring. If CO² content of a windrow rises above 12%, the oxygen content drops under 5%, and will need to be turned.

The temperature must not rise above 65°C and humidity must be between 50 and 60%. Additional information is available from the composting courses of Urs Hildebrandt: www.landmanagement.net.
