Food Waste Digestate: As an Organic Component of Organo-Zeolitic Bio-fertilizer

This paper concerns the use of food waste as the organic component of a highly successful biological plant fertilizer ( Leggo, 2017 ).The original plant fertilizer consists of a mixture of chicken manure and crushed rock having an abundance of clinoptilolite zeolite. This paper concerns the use of a machine to digested food waste that can replace the chicken manure.Converted to a liquid digestate, self - maintained, microbially, at a minimum temperature of 70o C .After one hour the mixture is self - pasteurised, ensuring, the liquid safe to handle.A plant fertilizer results which is friable and easy to mix with soil.As the mixing ratio is five parts soil to one part fertilizer, its use is commercially viable.Use of food waste in this way, is most desirable as otherwise it would be disposed without any benefit
