EcoDepot - FAQ

What causes plant odours?

When wastewater is treated anaerobically it gives off a number of gases ("biogas"). Some of these gases, like carbon dioxide are odourless. Other gases like methane and hydrogen sulfide are very odorous and can cause offence. In most cases these odours can be controlled by technologies such as bio filters or air stripping. Some municipal wastewater treatment plants collect biogas to feed engines/generators that can convert it to electricity.

Where should I place my compost bin?

Take the time to think about your compost bin placement-it can save you hassle and regret later. Do not place your compost bin in a heavily shaded, stuffy, or damp area, or you create the perfect environment for anaerobic activity and consequent odor problems. Avoid placing the composter near wells or slopes that drain to streams or ponds. Compost piles near trees may create future problems; if tree roots grow into the bottom of the pile, it can make turning the compost difficult.

What can I plant/place over my septic system?

Ozaukee County Wisconsin - Environmental Health - Frequently...
Plant only grasses and shallow rooted vegetation. Roots from trees and bushes can clog or damage the absorption field. Do not dig into, build over, or cover the drainfield with a hard surface such as asphalt or concrete. Grass will remove excess moisture and will allow more oxygen into the soil and into the system. Oxygen in the soil helps reduce the growth of anaerobic (without oxygen) bacteria that create a slime growth that can plug the soil pores and lead to a failing system.

What is compost?

Simply put, compost is decayed, organic plant matter that packs a powerful, nutrient-rich punch when added to your soil and plants. In more complex terms, compost is the result of aerobic microbes (oxygen-thriving bacteria and fungi) feeding on organic waste and breaking it down into a basic, wonderfully nutritious soil amendment. Although all organic matter will eventually decompose over time, it is not necessarily a quick process if left to Mother Nature.

It is possible and happens to people who get bad advice about applying compost and manure. Unfortunately you can easily smother many grasses by putting too much compost on. That is why the recommended rate is 1 cubic yard of compost for every 1,000 square feet. This will result in application of 1/3 inch of compost if spread out uniformly - a very thin layer.
