Automated Vermicomposting System (of Proper Waste Ratio + MCU Vermicomposting Bed)
It was then proved that vermicomposting at home can be done hands-free, not only lessening the organic wastes but as another method to produce organic fertilizers for households.
Abstract
Various projects have been made to automate agricultural methods being used today, each of them having their own drawbacks. In relation to this, a project focusing on organic wastes entitled Automated Vermicomposting System (of Proper Waste Ratio + MCU Vermicomposting Bed) has been developed. For the Research and Development, the group chose to study about agriculture, specifically, organic wastes to remove the manual process of the past systems and to make it a stand-alone harvester. In detail, the purpose of this prototype is to prove that the past project entitled MCU Vermicomposting can still be improved with the use of additional research as well as Waste Ratio Determinant Prototype’s data as the input. As aforementioned, the group implemented Waste Ratio as an Input, Microcontroller for the worm bin environment, and the Trommel for the automated harvesting. It was then proved that vermicomposting at home can be done hands-free, not only lessening the organic wastes but as another method to produce organic fertilizers for households. With the results of the study written in this document, future researchers, academe, and the community will benefit in understanding various technologies involved, basis for future systems, and also to widen the knowledge of the community regarding Vermicomposting as a good alternative in lessening garbage and producing quality fertilizers.
