EP5- Compostagem em casa: transformar resíduos em fertilidade com Luís Campos

In this episode of the Nas Quintas Dela podcast, I talk to Luís Campos, an environmental engineer and collaborator at LIPOR on the Terra à Terra project, about an essential topic for anyone with a vegetable garden, garden, or who wants to reduce waste at home: home composting. We discuss how to transform leftover fruit, vegetables, leaves, grass clippings, and other organic waste into a useful compost to nourish the soil and fertilize the garden in a more natural way. Throughout the conversation, Luís explains, in a simple way, what composting is, what materials can or cannot go into the composter, the correct proportion between green and brown waste, and the main precautions to avoid bad smells, mosquitoes, or excess moisture. In this episode, we also explore the importance of composting in the circular economy, in reducing household waste, and in the connection between agriculture, the environment, and sustainability. We also talk about composting at home, community composting, vermicomposting, bokashi, and other solutions for those who live in apartments or have little space. This episode is part of the series “Cultivating Resilience: The Future of Agriculture with the Common Agricultural Policy”, organized by the COM-PACTO Project, coordinated by Inova Mais and co-financed by the European Union. If you want to start composting, avoid common mistakes and learn how to transform waste into fertility for your garden, this episode is for you.
