- Abstract
[Objectives] This study was conducted to investigate how to use garden waste resources. [Methods] With garden waste as a raw material for composting treatment, the effects of adding starters on the decomposing effects of garden waste were investigated, and the changes in temperature and microorganisms during the decomposing process were analyzed. On this basis, the compost products were used to partially replace peat to make pepper seedling substrates, so as to further confirm the possibility of the use of compost products as substrates. [Results] Adding organic material starter or biological bacterial fertilizer starter could help garden waste to decompose and accelerate the composting process; and making seedling substrates by using garden waste compost products to partially replace peat could significantly improve the emergence rate, strong seedling index and fresh weight of pepper. The compost products fermented with the two kinds of starters had better substitution effects and higher seedling quality indexes. [Conclusions] This study provides a scientific basis for the substrate utilization of garden waste.
