Noaingo oilategi-konpostagailua: etxeko soberakin organikoak aprobetxatzeko ikerkuntza parte-hartzailea

Abstract

A new Home Community Composting system is presented: the Composting-Henhouse. That is a henhouse which includes several compost bins inside, where citizens dispose their food scraps for composting. Due to the action of the hen´s beak and claws scraps are rapidly composted. A community pilot project was settled in the Sense´s Park in Noain (Navarre) where 30 volunteers families have participated in this participatory action research, by suppling their scraps and by recording technical data during a period of 30 months. As payment they received compost, eggs and the experience of being a hen keeper for one day. This work presents the successful technical results recorded by citizens in this collaborative research.
