A biobased solution was prepared to be used as fertilizer. Agriculture and animal wastes are the source of the prepared solution. It has a promising behaviour in some plants growth. The main problem is the very bad smell of the solution. Could anyone help suggesting any additives could be added to get red of the bad smell without affecting the solution effectiveness?
Thanks in advance.
Suggest using a vermiculite perlite mix adding gysum and humic acid. Let the solution be absorbed and then aerobicially compost. The Humic acid and gypsum will add in the binding of the odorous compounds and the aerobic composting will produce a sweet smelling produt with an earthly smell rather the an evil smelling one. Use vermiculture and perlite 1 to 1 as a volume to volume mix. To the weigh to dry ingredients use 2% fine gysum and 1% humic acid. Moisten to 65% moist no dripping water upon compression and let the material compost under a porous covering. I believe a short composting under these parameters will greatly reduce any issues with odor and add value to your product. Let us know how it works.
Another option is to use EM ( effective microorganisms) solution to get rid of the smell.Being bio based solution, this will work better.
