The Problem
Statement
As we see nowadays organic farming is widely practicing by the
people. It involves storing all the biodegradable matter such as
vegetables waste and rotten leaves and allowing microorganisms
to grow. The problem of making the compost is it need proper
maintaince and great observation to make a good organic
compost. The challenge with this approach is the care needed to
maintain the composting environment. This involves aerating the
compost, adding materials to maintain heat/pH, and watering the
compost as needed. This is where the Smart Compost System
can help
Solution
This problem can be resolved by making a bin which stores
the waste and make quality compost. The smart composting
system monitors and manages your compost - adding air
and water when needed. It tracks when your compost is
ready and alerts you when a specific action needs to be
taken like stir the compost, cover the compost. It's simple
way of generating compost at home itself. If all you did
was dump kitchen scraps and leaves into a pile, then you're
guaranteed to get compost.

Working
Initially the waste which is collected in the dust bin is dumped into
the Smart compost bin for preparation of the compost.
The preparation of the compost takes around 30 to 45 days for
getting a good and proper nutrient compost.
In those days the smart compost bin monitors various processes
like mixing the waste and crushing, checking the temperature,
monitoring the released gases.
The bin automatically inlets water when the compost is dried and
the lid of the box is opened and alarms the users when excess
amount of gases are evolved.
These are displayed to the user for their next action to be taken.
All the readings in the bin is displayed on the LCD screen at the top
of the bin.
